United Have Their Trophy Back!

One more victory, one more precious three points, and what has seemed inevitable for weeks will become a reality. Manchester United have claimed the 20th top division crown, which has now given the club a two title lead over great rivals Liverpool.

Controversial, entertaining, cocky, unpredictable, all of these and more could be used to describe Mario Balotelli, but boring certainly isn’t one of them.

The season slips away for Manchester City as they prove they can't buy a team, just a collection of overpaid primadonna's.

Losing David Silva to injury, Sergio Aguero to form and foot spray and Mario Balotelli to lunacy, compounded by Yaya Toure's poorly knee and Roberto Mancini's poor English and you have disarray. Loss of form, loss of temperament and loss of games. City are a massive club.
