Disastrous. FUCK.

Was happy Man City won, i was going for them big time. So it might be bad for us, tbh i don't like Man Utd and i don't care atm. We're in the Champions League Final.

Keep the faith lad, the blues are looking strong and the title will be ours again soon enough!

Yea! We'll definitely be back amongst the big time soon enough, but I just have a massive fear City will repeat our era, but go even longer. I can only hope somehow UEFA will impose FFP sanctions on them and pop their bubble. We were lucky to manage to build our spine before this rule was even on the chalkboard.

Ok so Man City might make a claim for dominance but Man Utd's dominance might be coming to an end. Probanly the first time i've ever looked at a match and known Man Utd's team isn't good enough to win. Let City have their time, we've had ours. I'd rather Chelsea and City dominate than United, Liverpool, Tottenham or Arsenal.

United winning it 'this' season may have prevented City going on to dominate. That's the point!..

United won't be dominating fuck all post-2012, especially with Fergie's era coming to an end.

I'm happy with the outcome. Hopefully they can win the league. That means they'll keep Mancini for another year at least and that means we have a bigger chance of winning it next season.

Congratulations to City, now please do us a favour and smash Newcastle!

Exactly, it would've been much more destructive for Man City's whole operation if they went on this season without a trophy. If you're a Chelsea fan it would be naive to look at this through a neutral's perspective.

City could still bottle it. And one Premiership doesn't mean they're going to go crazier with their spending, they'll want more trophies in the bag before that happens, I think. Worth noting that if they win it, it'll only be their 2nd trophy since 2008. In our first 4 years under Roman we won everything under the sun except the CL, and we still didn't go onto dominate world football, though I reckon we could have if we didn't sack Jose.

Once that squad gets going (i.e. winning mentality) it won't matter. Prize money, the onslaught of new fans, more revenue. The etihad deal was the turning point, this will make things even worse. United won't be on top for long, Ferguson is nearing retirement. We needed United to prevent City's era of dominance to begin at such an pivotal point, with a healthy average squad age and the FFP around the corner.

So City will dominate cause they won the league?

I think you are blind.

Cause there is no way in hell a team lead by Mancini will dominate.

They will need to throw in another 500 million to make that miracle next season!

City will dominate for various reasons & factors in which I have stated, which exacerbate once they break their duck. You are blind for not reading posts.
