Yeah, but what a day's football, though, eh? Fergie must have thought he had it in the bag - City to score twice in injury time? Never!

And what happened to "Balotelli will never play for me again"? - Went the same way as Tevez is fired, I suppose... :roll:

Missed Barton's sending off. In fact, I missed virtually everything in the 2nd half, as I was flicking from game to game at all the wrong moments!

If you haven't seen it, heres Bartons sending off - an elbow, a kick and head butt - thats on 3 different players. I suspect he'll face a long lay off at the start of next season and is probably a chance for QPR to get shot of him.

Don't know how long this will stay up for?

I read somewhere that this has been the best PL season ever, couldn't argue against that statement. All the best for both Chelsea and Tottenham, you both must be nervous for one more week, we can now go for a holiday. :cheers:

I feel a bit let down with that Joey Barton clip, I thought he'd gone proper postal.

Can't really congratulate City either, it's like giving a lottery winning tramp entrepreneur of the year.

I disagree Terry, he retweets Philosophers. :laugh:

He tweeted tonight about others trying to solve things with violence and he's a pacifist! :lach:

Looking at it now, I'm not convinced anything much happened at all initially, but that's really neither here nor there. What summed Barton up for me wasn't the knee in the back (which was almost as wimpish as Terry's) but the expression on his face when he did it.

Nasty piece of work, and I hope he never plays professional football again.

That stood out for me too Dtaii Maii.

He recently tweeted that all the events after the red card came about because a team member suggested he try to take a City player with him. So off he went trying to provoke. Lovely Sportsman.

And he presumably sees that as a perfectly reasonable explanation! :laugh: :laugh: :banghead:

I seem to remember Spurs fans warning Arsenal to "mind the gap". Well, thanks for your concern, we heeded your warnings and the rightful order of North London has been restored. I know gloating is not an attractive trait but WTF,

When City went in 1-0 up at half time I reckoned it was all done and dusted and they would score a hatful.....so much so that I switched over to Coronation Street at half time over here and waited for the adverts before flicking back to the footie !
I had missed QPR's equaliser,then when Barton got sent off I thought City would surely get a few goals......then when QPR made it 2-1 I was in an orgasmic state !!
But with injury time approaching I made the fatal comment "If City score one theyll get another"..........unfortunately one of the few predictions I have got right this season ! :guns:
A very cruel way to end the season but very exciting for the neutral.
United blew an 8 point lead and the title was really lost when they allowed Everton to come back from 4-2 down with 7 minutes left ! :(
Anyway,lets hope Nani goes to Chelsea,Berbatov rejoins Spurs,Phelan becomes Arsenals new no.2 and Alex McLeish is appointed the new Liverpool manager ! :wink:
