So near yet ..........
 

Never mind lads, after all winning is not everything, but losing is nothing.:D

I believe it's the first time in 17 years since Manky U have failed to even win a cup.

Still next years replica strip for all you plastic Manc's will be Blue and sponsored by Etihad.:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

The best bit was that City won the title in Fergie Time too, you couldn't make it up, all those plastics thinking they scooped another title then it was dragged out of their grasp and there was nothing old Red Nose could do about it, no use looking at his watch

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Well at least we have maintainted our dignity..

BBC Sport - Manchester United boss Ferguson congratulates City on title win

Finished second on goal difference and 39 points ahead of Liverpool.. not a bad season by any stretch.:mosher:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Being a City fan, i thought i was going to need paramedics by the end.
I'm sure they will be the death of me. :D:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Congrats and well done making this an exciting end of season.. United and City finished 19 points ahead of the 3rd place team.. your home form won it (and the 6 points you nabbed off us) ;)

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Cheers Mancie, close run season right down to the final whistle, just hope they can keep it up. :D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Anybody see the antics of that nut job Joey Barton, he's definitely not wired up right, will be lucky if he plays before Christmas next season, and even more lucky if Hughesy doesn't sack him, he's a liability

Re: So near yet ..........
 

So now the dust has settled & it's all over bar the bitchin' & finger pointing, Manky U with nothing ? Most unusual, is this the start of a slow decline from the glory days of O.T. ?

I mean, ours was a poor season but at least we had 2 goes at stuff, but because of or recurring ineptitude we only got the one trophy. Think next season could be quite interesting. :)

Re: So near yet ..........
 

As a complete neutral, I'm not too concerned about bitching between the two sets of supporters.

What I would say is that it was without doubt one of the most amazing pieces of football theatre I've ever seen.

Unforgettable!

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Interestingly, if City had won the Old Trafford derby by just 1 - 0 United would have won the league.

Re: So near yet ..........
 

United still have a trophy to play for - they have the final of the Lancashire Cup against the mighty Stanley to have a go at & after finishing the season with no other silverware, who knows what team they might put out to make sure they win something - could be an interesting game :rolleyes:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Some how I don't think you'll be seeing Giggs Rooney Nani Ferdinand Scholes etc AccyMad:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Since when was Manchester part of Lancashire? I was under the impression it was in Greater Manchester. Typical Manc's...

If mi Aunty had had balls she'd have been mi Uncle:rolleyes:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

To be honest Jay, it seems Liverpool have snuck in too. I'd watch your hubcaps if we're you!!!
Oops I'm a scouser too, I'd better make sure I don't steal my own then!

Re: So near yet ..........
 

If Manchester isn't in Lancashire, then our County cricket team must move.
Politicians can move borders, but, hearts stay with your county of birth. Manc's are happy to be Lancs.:)

Well done City, one for Wardy rest in peace

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Nice to see all those Mancunians out on the streets of their City, the train stations were surprising quite yesterday, with no fans having to ship in from all over the country for the big parade:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

OUCH YA ...... ! :oke2:Throw in some salt why don't you ? :s_aim1:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Were just about to post the same but we have to take it easy on John he is still upset about another team.............................................. ...that Burnley are gonna take 6 points from next season!! ;)

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Why ?? :D No quarter given & none asked for, it's extreme pish taking here because this time next season it could be our turn (generically speaking that is ;))

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Okey dokey then, I were just being a girl then sorry! :o

Re: So near yet ..........
 

No time for none 'o that malarkey on here, it's juggular or nads ! :s_aim1: Now man up ! :D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm if only I had nads to grip onto!! :eek::p:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Scandalous & shocking ................ from someone else, but as far as you're concerned I wouldn't of expected anything less ! :D You wicked strumpet you ! :eek:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

I can think of two that are Kean to be nipped by two shelter bricks:eek::swear8:

Re: So near yet ..........
 

So we lost it, an absolute nail biter to the finish, and there can be no doubt that the NN are a great team - roll on next season.
Looking at it overall, to say we have played crap for most of the season - as so many of you have pointed out, to lose on goal difference and amass the number of points that we did - not too bad all round.
Probably going to be between us and the NN next season with Chelsea, Arsenal and maybe Spurs making up the chasing pack - the scousers will probably go all out for a top half finish and be above Everton.
I know that the scousers were set to break a number of records this season but don't know if they did manage it - lowest points, least goals, least wins and most money spent, all were possibly new records for them - Oh yes, they won the Milk Cup. A good season according to KK.:tongueout:p:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Hope you don't fly as the Navigator - perhaps you should go to Specsavers or take GCSE Geography:rolleyes::D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

No need, just ask for the biggest cesspit in the North West & you'll be pointed on yer way to O.T. ricky tik. ;) :D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

:thankya:Never one to disappoint me Dave you should know that!!!:thankya:

Couldnt resist!;)

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Not having that, last time you said did I want to play around & I said yes, you took money off me 'n everything, then we ended up in this lovely grassy place & you did a bunk ! Next thing I know is I'm getting chased by people dressed like yanks & they're shouting & waving golf bats at me ! Good time me bum & yes I was a little miffed ! :s_aim1: ;)

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Your nose must be huge I tell you.................;)

You call me a floozy and yes you are right! :D

Treat em mean keep em keen........................

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Ah, back to football I see & turkey rovers it appears ! :D

Maybe you should get a atlas of Great Britian, post 1974 :rolleyes::D

And no, modern western civilian aircraft don't carry navigators, we have a flight plan and Flight Management Computer for that:tongueout

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Classic back on thread post I tell you..................:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Funny they've been saying that every season they've played use in the last 35 years (which ain't been many I know) but its still 34 years and counting:p:p:p

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Excuse me for asking but can you tell us how many trophy's the plastics have won this season and how many the scousers have won, it might have been so much different if they could have managed a win at home against Keans Donkeys Barrie:tongueout

Re: So near yet ..........
 

So they are one trophy ahead but how many points, position, goals
are they behind La Creme?
I am sure that they would swap the Milk Cup for a top four finish - Oh, I forgot, this was a succesful season according to KK:tongueout:tongueout

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Ya but there weren't too many scousers crying their eyes out at 4-55pm on Sunday, there were tears, tears of laughter:tongueoutunlike the home counties were there was a flood alert, there was that many tears

Re: So near yet ..........
 

But there are floods in scouse land now. My commiserations to Eeyore and Bong Bong - thought I would allow you chance to dry your eyes.
Obviously the Yanks weren't satisfied with the Milk Cup, perhaps KK should have taken John Wayne's advice and "Get off your horse and drink your milk"
The good news for the scousers is that Keano may be available if VFC sack him - after all his record isn't much worse than KK's and he didn't have all those millions to spend.
Poor scousers, never mind, you can swap your red shirts for Everton's blue ones, they finished ahead of you and not 37 points behind the league leaders:dummy2::tongueout:tongueout:hidewall::D:D: D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Which incidental wasn't you lot:D

Re: So near yet ..........
 

Still 37 points behind us Jay - OK, not as many as Rovers but too many for their Yanks:rolleyes::D
