Sunday Dugout Discussion

2,298 Comments

Here we are then, the final day. Will we get a dramatic climax or will City close out the title in a cool, efficient manner? Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up the reactions as the Fantasy season draws to end with the day’s ten three o’clock kick-offs.

The team news is in and available via our tweets as always. The headlines have Fernando Torres benched in a much-changed Chelsea lineup, while Sir Alex Ferguson plays silly buggers and fields Jonny Evans, 24-hours after announcing he’ll need ankle surgery in the summer. The trickster is playing us right to the end. Roberto Mancini stays cool and fields an unchanged lineup, while Mark Hughes in opposition hopes that a clash with his old side can bring out the magic in Shaun Wright-Phillips – he and Djibril Cisse look to provide the unexpected for visiting QPR.

I’ll be knocking about the chatroom throughout the ninety minutes as the curtain gradually closes on another superb Premier League season. Brace yourselves.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    FIRST POINT = city did deserve the league, no question (squad is up there now with real madrid etc)

    SECOND POINT = i cannot complain about city spending, i would want united to spend 300million if possible, so i would be a hypocryte to complain

    THIRD POINT = not sure mancini has quite handled `squeky bum time' just yet. He was so stressed and showed it.

    FOURTH POINT = two players united need... kyle walker, and a good centre mid to partner carrick/cleverly/scholes

    what a day, gutted, but was so exiting, not sure it beats last years relegation final day drama though...

        I think you'll find there are a few....I have said previously that I conceed that City were the better team. I just didn't like how they went about their business (not just the financial issue).

      Agree apart from sqweeky bum comment. Manchni bossed he mind games when he declared thatunited won the title with 5 games to go after fergie said he has got lots more ammunition for the mind games. Brilliant move by manchii to take pressure off his own players and plant he seed in uniteds pkayers too

    I am 1 point ahead in my money league, with only realistic BPs being Pienaar for me and Jelly for him. He has made less transfers and so will win if tied on points.

    Unbelievably, VdV going off 28 seconds short of 60 minutes could quite easily cost me summer bragging rights and two hundred quid
