Manchester City are English Premier League CHAMPIONS - 2011/2012
Craziest day ever.
At 90 minutes, Manchester City's title dream was dead but with TWO goals in injury time they snatched the title from United! QPR's Joey Barton was silly as always and decided he should get a red card in the final match of the season. Had it not been for his antics, QPR would have won or at least drew the game.
For Manchester City, they wrote history by winning the Premier League title in dramatic fashion. City scored two goals in extra-time from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero to snatch the title from under United's noses - after Sir Alex Ferguson's side had beaten Sunderland 1-0 thanks to a goal by Wayne Rooney.
Defender Pablo Zabaleta had put City ahead before QPR equalised through Djibril Cisse following a mistake by Joleon Lescott.
Joey Barton was at the heart of controversy yet again after being sent off for a clash with Carlos Tevez but with 10-men Jamie Mackie put Rangers in front in the second half.
With news that Manchester United were beating Sunderland, City looked set to fall short but Edin Dzeko levelled with a header in extra time before Sergio Aguero sent the crowd wild at the death to win City's first title since 1968.

Intriguing English Premier League Finale
For so many years now the top flight football in England could be decided by goal difference. Both Manchester clubs are tied at 86 points with City having the advantage of superior goal difference.
On this final game of the season, Manchester United is away at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland while Manchester City it at home to Queen Park Rangers (QPR). QPR is fighting to avoid relegation, so, there's everything to fight for.
If both Manchester United and Manchester City win today, City will be crowned Champions for the first time in 44 years. As a strong United supporter, I really want this to by their 20th league cup - a new history in English football - but if they fail, I really think they lost it not today, but way back a couple of weeks ago when they threw away a 4-2 advantage at home to Everton. They ended 4-4 in that game.
Never say never. Like Sir Alex Ferguson said everything can happen in football including "stupid" result at Etihad Stadium.
Come on now United!

Day 32: It's all over?
Almost 2 weeks ago I posted about Manchester United's turning point when they overtook City for the first time after playing catch up for so long.
Still 7 games to play, Roberto Mancini has all but waved the white flag in the English Premier League title race after his Manchester City side went down 1-0 to Arsenal at The Emirates.
EPL Table after 32 games. There are 6 more games to play and 18 points up for grab..
With Manchester United beating Queens Park Rangers 2-0 at Old Trafford earlier at lunchtime, City fell 8 points behind their rivals and needed to win at Arsenal.
But they failed to react and fell to a stunning Mikel Arteta strike three minutes from time. They also had mercurial striker Mario Balotelli sent off shortly afterwards for a second bookable offense.
It looks increasingly likely that the title is staying at Old Trafford for a record 20th time.
What an achievement that would be. Go United!
