Oh well, we can now settle down to the Derby v Brighton game, we'll get a good idea of the strength of our opponents at Wembley (there's confidence for you!)...
Looking forward to it - for overseas folks it is live streamed on Bet 365. Regarding the Premier League Champions trophy now being presented at the Ethiad, what was the game-plan if City had lost today, and Liverpool won, which they did?
I was thinking the same thing! They joked about waiting for the trophy to arrive on a tram, presumably from Old Trafford?
If my memory is right two years ago the trophy was on it's way to Sunderland by helicopter where Man U had just won and City were 1-2 down to us, two injury time goals and it had to perform a U-turn...
As a wee lad I remember watching the final Sunday of the old John Player League (cricket for those not familiar with it) where there were three counties in with a chance of winning the league. The poor old helicopter had to change direction several times as the matches ebbed and flowed.
Jack Rodwell collects his medal - Pablo Zabaleta gets a huge roar. It's a big squad for Richard Scudamore to hand them out to. Joleon Lescott gets a good ovation too, is that his final action in a City shirt? Here comes the trophy, carried out by captains of City's under-11, under-14 and under-18 teams. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is all smiles out there too. And here come the City players sporting 'Champions 14' shirts. please log in to view this image The Premier League have just tweeted a picture of the blue and white ribbons being added to the trophy. Joe Hart starts a group dance to Wonderwall as the beers come out in the tunnel. Richard Wright in the mix - League champion Richard Wright... http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/26757873
Derby should've had a man sent off.... They've consistently been the jammiest team all season. An inordinate number of deflected goals and lucky ricochets
