May 14, 2012 – Blues win league – Ferdinand own goal destroys Manchester United hearts
The Sun sets blue over the city of Manchester as the crowd rejoices over the first league title for the Blues in 43 years. The match against QPR seemed to define City’s amazing season, with Balotelli scoring five times, raising his season tally to 55 goals.
“It was only a matter of time,” says http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323, smiling widely. Rumours suggest that his salary trebled as soon as Tevez lifted the Premiership trophy.
Over on the other side of Manchester, an unfamiliar red air of defeat has risen over the empty Theatre of Dreams. The Devils, travelling to the Stadium of Light, seemed to have met a rather hostile opponent in Sunderland, who were fighting a raging relegation battle. The Black Cats needed a win to confirm survival; United needed just a point to secure the title.
“I couldn’t have done anything about it. I was trying to clear the ball, the ground was uneven,” says Ferdinand, trying to explain how the ball ended up in his own net as he was trying to clear http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812’s weak attempt on goal in the 87thminute. United went on to lose the game; and the Premiership Title.
Back here in London, a certain sense of Déjà Vu can be felt everywhere; Arsenal finish 5th in the League, with Chelsea finishing on 4th position.
“We had a tough season; the quality of the league has improved this year,” André Villas-Boas replies to critics who are quick to notice the drastic number of points lost in the second half of the season, “..apparently my good looks weren’t enough to win us the league”.
Torres’ future at the Club looks bleak.
“la única vez que me puse una camiseta del http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 después de enero fue en comerciales de televisión para los refrescos. no estoy satisfecho,” says Torres. (The only time I wore a Chelsea jersey after January was in TV commercials for soft drinks. I am unsatisfied.)
Liverpool finally ended their five-match goal drought by scoring in the 80th minute thanks to a wonderful volley by the perennially injured captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, from 40 yards out. It didn’t make much difference to the score line, however. It ended 3-1 in Swansea’s favour which didn’t make much difference in general. The Jacks finished bottom of the league with 16 points.
Having now qualified for the Champions League, Dalglish is unhappy and criticizing the Football Association for making the game too easy. In an interview with our reporter last evening, Dalglish said that he would sue the administration for making the game too commercial. “It’s not all about money,” said he. “I don’t have to get my way every time!” He was infuriated.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 January signings: Villa, Keita, Doumbia, Chivu, De Jong, Erikson and Boudebouz, all seem to have settled into the club. The rumours turned out to be all true, apparently.
The Magpies had Toffees for dinner, completely chewing them up in a 7-0 victory. They finish 8th, just above Wanderer’s. Nobody knows or cares about how Fulham faired.
Blackburn and Wigan, the other two teams relegated, have signed an ownership deal with two renowned Sheikhs of Dubai. The Sheikhs have assured unending monetary support for the clubs and are both currently fighting to get hold of Tottenham January signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432.
