British Expats - The Toon Army / EPL thread

So, do the ends justify the means?

Have City fans totally forgiven Teves his 3 month holiday? Will that be air brushed out of the official history now that City are the victors? Presumably its worth it.

I can imagine Mancini doing some fine tuning ahead of next season re: Balotelli

Bit of a season ending fizzle out for Toon today, but all in all this has been a glorious year. Weee're baaaack! Roll on Europe and here's to an even better season next year.

I doubt he'll be that bothered. Apparently 3 years left on his contract @ 80k a week and a 250k bonus for helping keep QPR in the premier league.

I thought the Man City V QPR premier league finale was one of most thrilling finals of the premier league's 20 year history. It had me on the edge of my seat, shouting at the tv, even as a neutral fan but was willing for Man City to win.

Congrats to Man City fans on the forum. Also, I have a soft spot for Robbie Mancini, he has something about him. He is a nice, classy and dignified guy and a great manager for managing a few of those divas in his team. Mind you, his antics on the sidelines were hilarious, he reminded me of an Italian Basil Fawlty.

The premiership is such a fantastic and unpredictable league, any one of the top 4 teams could have won the top spot.

Looking forward to the Euros !

I disagree, Arsenal were never in with a shout to win the title.

Ok, point taken. I thought Newcastle were 'nearly' there in the top spot and were unlucky. Its a shame we can't have a top 5 qualifying for Champions League, they deserved to be in there as well as the toons have been superb as well
What I meant was that EPL is a generally a highly competitive league with regards to La Liga and Serie A etc.
