Thor - how did I know you would be a tottenham fan!! ha ha.
I dont know why all the City fans were getting so upset with 20 minutes to go - crying, hitting chairs, walking out early - because had they not won it yesterday they will definitely win it next year anyway. As much as non-United fans hate United, what this title win for City means is because they have an obscene level of money now - despite new rules coming into force - it is the beginning of a long and monotonous dynasty and world domination. In the summer, when they go out and cherry pick even more world class players from other top teams, next season they will be even more unstoppable, partly because the other rivals are all in transition and not much good at the moment either, including United. So pardon me if Im not jumping up and down at the thought of a predictable Premier League next year and beyond where the only places up for grabs of any interest will be second and third.
It happened before with the money and size of Liverpool in the 80s and with United since the 90s and it spoils it all when there isnt proper competition.
Pleased for City fans who have waited so long for glory but the significance of the win looks bleak for a predictable future.

The last thing the Premier League needs is to be like La Liga, the dullest two-horse race going.
I'd give that accolade to Scotland, frankly.
And La Liga has plenty of teams who'd hold their own in the Premier League - Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao to name but a few. Compare them with Wigan, Stoke, Swansea and QPR...
Yeah, but outside of an excellent goal-less match of Barca and Sevilla, most of those other teams collapse like a Leeds United house of ca--wait, what was the name of your team again? 
Watch "Greatest player on God's Earth" Messi get stonewalled on his pathetic penalty try. (12:50)

Anyway, never mind the Premier League, Saturday's big game looms....
Currently watching: The Professionals with Marvin and Lancaster on Channel 4. Love it.

Yes, for sure. Lots of lovely practice runs ... from the Lee Marvin's army campaign hat to the shotguns to scenes about giving your word...
"My word to Grant aint worth a busted nickle"
"But you gave your word to me."
Close season even shorter this summer ...euro 2012 starts on June 8th.
