I see...I am! :)

I passed on my congrats yesterday, and they were meant, City were the better team over the season, scored more goals, conceded less, beat us home and away, and played better football (I thought Spurs for a period played the best)...I see City as fierce rivals not enemies, this Indy 'red corner' article* from Saturday explains it well.

I'll always prefer to see the League end up in Mcr, even if it's the blue half, than over in Liverpool or certain parts of London...besides, you've got to get another 16 before you can even sit on our perch ;-)

*The Indy ran a similar article from a City fan's perspective, worth a read if you missed it while sunning yourself... 'blue corner'

You should get a job with the Politburo...100,000, not even close to our 1,000,0000 when we won the treble.

Carlito showed his class I see...

There is widespread condemnation of that from the majority of Blues, cheers for the links-will read them tomorrow. As for mentioning Liverpool, didn't want either of us creasing up in laughter ! :)-D

As for your figure of "1,000,0000" is that many people on the planet? There certainly isn't in the UK.

[Atticus]

BR congrats, though to quote Ian Chappell, you can be bad winner. enjoy but don't forget from whence you came.

[Mick Mac]

Well done BR. It must have been the most fantastic feeling ever to win it as you did. Surprised there were not more stress casualties at the stadium.

Heard some people on the radio who left early and missed both late goals - that is just plain stupid.

[Bluerevolution]

Cheers Atticus-we know from whence we came ! We were still there when we were shit ! York away (old 3rd div)to Premiership Champions !

Mick mac, plenty leave several minutes before the end when we are losing-has always been the same, for us and most clubs tbf. My Dad did it with me (left early that is ;-)) and we scored 2 goals and won as we were walking out of Maine Road-must've been around 76-77- so I would never do it now !

Oh and on a by-note last time we won the league I was born !

Makes sense why he did that with this http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ferguson-can-city-be-top-dogs-not-in-my-lifetime-1789944.html It was basically a two finger salute !

Yes BR - but you don't leave early when its your first chance to win the league for 40 odd years.

[red devil]

Tut tut BR, stop apologising for him.

Your club and Tevez have issued apologies.

Re. fans leaving early...personally I've never done it, but to some fans the fear of losing is greater than the hope of winning...wasn't the Ibrox disaster caused by Rangers fans trying to get back in after Rangers scored a late late goal?

[Bluerevolution]

RD do you need to leave early? surely the armchair is fine ? Lol !

Sorry, RD but this is funny as fcuk !

Don't scroll down if you don't wish to see !

[Bluerevolution]

Hitler finds out ! LMFAO

Don't worry BR, I can take it...I'm making notes in the book for future paybacks.

I wish I had a comfy armchair handy to collapse into yesterday.

I could have gone to the game with some QPR fans, but thought it would be a 90min cakewalk for you, so declined...best decision of my life.

Jah I wouldn't want Chavski to win a raffle. And yes indeed come on Bayern!!!!

Bloody hell, Hazard has been spotted outside Owed Trafford.

[StraferJack]

So Kenny is out (bar the shouting) - who next for Liverpool manager

[red devil]

Announcement expected around 4pm.

If he goes there's no stand out candidates...would Moyes cross the divide?...last chance to get O'Neil?...maybe a younger manager unproven with a big club such as Martinez/Lambert/Rodgers?...Pardew?

[El Pibe]

Pep might get some more pep and be up for it?

[El Pibe]

"unproven with a big club"

Are you suggesting they're a big club? I thought they needed to get used to the fact that they were now a middling club with delusions of grandeur thanks to their long faded glory ;-)

[maxxi]

Mourinho with a huge budget?

Quite right, it's all relative, I should've used 'bigger' ;-)

I missed out the obvious...Rafa Returns!

[Otta]

BBC website just have him denying it. Where is the story you're all reading?

Sir!? Sir, it was Strafer sir!

twitter essentially - but from sources who tend to be reliable on this sort of thing

[Jah Lush]

Well, if he's going he's going and he may well have won the League Cup albeit on penalties against lowly Cardiff City but the stats don't lie. Defeat at Swansea meant Liverpool recorded their lowest total of top-flight league victories (14) and lowest points tally (52) since 1953-54. They also scored the fewest league goals (47) for 20 years and an eighth-placed finish was their worst for 18 years.

His reaction and behaviour during the whole sorry saga of the Suarez affair was a complete PR disaster to the reputation of the club.
