congrats City, over with plenty to spare

how does Ndidi win motm tonight btw? gets it for constantly breaking the game up, also known as committing 6 fouls without the ref contemplating a card

Interesting Man Utd Team for the match tonight

I remember when they used to be a big club.

Congratulations to Man City.

So that’s the title done for City and pretty much CL football all sorted as well after that result

A weakened team gave City the title and CL for Leicester.

All doesn’t sit right but there we go - West Ham fans will be a touch angry

Congrats to City though - head and shoulders above the rest this season

Always a bit weird to win it without playing but not complaining

Anything after "Aguerooooooo. I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again" is always going to come up a bit short!

Solskjaer’s done exactly what he has to do. He’s got a cup final coming up, another game in 2 days, so he’s using his squad. Why should he give a flying fig about West Ham or anyone else ?

We bombed out because we don’t have enough points. Our problem, not Solskjaer’s.

Anywhere from 2nd to 6th a possibility. Still no laughter. Chelsea Cup, then Chelsea, Spurs next games. But thanks for the confidence shown.

Yes that penalty was shocking!!

Well done to City.
They are good to watch and deserved winners!

Spot on .
His job is what’s best for UTD.
Anyone would do the same and have in the past.

Because if Utd had fielded a full strength team City wouldn't have won the title?
City weren't given the title, they won it by being the best team in the competition by a distance.
Utd are not the first, and won't be the last, to play a weakened team.
It's a squad game and OGS did just what he had to. I'd have been disappointed if he hadn't.
United have much bigger fish to fry, OGS was simply prioritising.

Man Utd could have still won the title until tonight yes ? And there is a weakened team and then there is changing 10 players

But the issue isn’t the team played it’s more down the fact that Man Utd fans rioted cause a game to be postponed- the teams that have suffered because of Man Utd fans aren’t Man Utd - it’s other teams because a club has had to play a weakened team. Doesn’t seem right that the clubs fans that caused the issue are the ones without any consequences

What penalty

I hate criticising him but it was a shocker

Injuries yes, other teams no!

That’s all forgotten now.

Is it what's best for United though?

Just giving up the league like that, no matter how unlikely?

If it was Liverpool tonight, Leicester Thursday, tonight would have seen him play his strongest team of the week.

They used to act like a big club, but like 2 years ago, thats gone out of the window.

Remember when Ferguson had a go at Leeds for "cheating their fans", well the chickens have come home to roost.

I think it would be a good idea if a fan of the winning prem league team starts next seasons Prem league post 2021-22.
I nominate AmandaJR. ? seconder required ?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Injuries yes, other teams no!

Strikers missing multiple chances to put games to bed?
Players out of form?

 

[clubchamp98]

Nice goal from Ings.
Proper goalscorer, if he stays fit !
Not sure about his defending for Bentekes goal.
CF should not be there imo ,stay on halfway line and make them mark you.
