  • Carlos Tevez With the Classless ‘R.I.P Fergie’ Sign

    Carlos Tevez might have meant it as a joke, but it’s pretty obvious that holding a sign saying ‘R.I.P Fergie’ isn’t going to be taken lightly by, well, most of the media, social media, fans and Alex Feguson himself.

  • Highs & Lows of the Insane Finish to the 2011-2012 Premiership Season

    Manchester City and Manchester United were involved in the craziest ending to a Premier League season in history. It’s not that we haven’t had last day finishes, but this one was special.

  • Sergio Aguero Scores The Most Important Goal in Manchester City History

    Never has a Premiership title been decided on goal difference, but every streak ends. Manchester City won their first title since 1968, ending a 44 year drought in one of the most dramatic ending days in English football history, as Sergio Aguero scored in the 94th minute to snatch the title from United and Alex Ferguson at the last possible moment.

  • The Eden Hazard Question – Manchester City or Chelsea?

    Eden Hazard won’t be playing another season for Lille in France, or for any other French club. He announced his plans to play in England earlier this season, and now has dropped a hit that narrows down his 2012-2013 option to two clubs – Manchester City or Chelsea.

  • Premiership’s 2011-2012 Finish – What’s Left to Play For

    Manchester City and Manchester United will be in the spotlight of the final day of the 2011-2012 Premiership season, both teams tied with 86 points, City holding the goal difference advantage. But it’s not all about the title on the last day – Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle fight for the Champions League; QPR and Bolton fight for survival.

  • Yaya Toure Takes Next Step Towards Title (Newcastle vs Manchester City)

    Yaya Toure paid no mind to Newcastle celebrating the heritage of Bobby Robson with a stature outside St. James’ Park or their Champions League aspirations. The Ivorian scored twice to give Manchester City a 2-0 and open a 3 point lead over Manchester United.

  • Aftermath of the City – United Manchester Derby

    Roberto Mancini did an excellent job of picking up his players from their horrendous late March – early April collapse. Having Wolves on the schedule is always nice, but instead of folding the title race, City just turned up the pressure on Manchester United, culminating in their 1-0 derby win that puts them back at the top of the table.

  • Vincent Kompany Decides Manchester Derby and Perhaps Title Race (City vs United)

    Manchester City haven’t beaten their city rivals twice in the same season since 1970. No team has ever turned an 8 point deficit this late in the season. Vincent Kompany scored the only goal at the Etihad stadium, giving City the edge over Manchester United in the Premiership title race thanks to goal difference.

  • Mikel Arteta Goal Ends Manchester City Title Dreams

    Mikel Arteta waited for the 87th minute to send a dagger and score the only goal in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester City, breaking Roberto Mancini and Manchester City’s fans hearts by making it an 8 point gap between Manchester United and the second place, as Arsene Wenger helped Alex Ferguson win (probably) another Premier League title.

  • On Referees and the Premier League Title Race

    Danny Murphy was fouled by Michael Carrick at the 89th minute during Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Fulham, putting them 3 points ahead of Manchester City, with eight matches left to play. Michael Oliver, as many referees tend to do when their job is at the Old Trafford, loses his ability to blow the whistle at times.
