“They can go on as much as they like – that’s what you would expect – but the history of our club stands us aside,” Ferguson said. “We don’t need to worry about that. I think we have a rich history, better than anyone and it’ll take them a century to get to our level of history.”

“We accept challenges. We are good at that,” said Ferguson. “At the start of the season, if I remember correctly, I said 82 points would probably win the league this season and we are seven points ahead of that. But look, it doesn’t matter, we’ve lost the league.

“It is a cruel way to have the title ripped away, but I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my 25 years here. There will be times when we can sit back and say we did this wrong, we did that wrong, but 89 points would have won the league most seasons.”

Roberto Mancini said this-”We deserved it,” he said. “We played the best football. We scored the most goals, we conceded the fewest. We beat United twice.

“I have never seen a final like this though. In the history of the club, a final like this does not exist. I am very proud of my players though. They wanted to win this title until the last second of the last game.”

City battles Queens Park Rangers at the Citizens house. Man U travels to Sunderland.

Former City manager Mark Hughes is the main man at the Hoops.

 My guys from Arsenal have a hung match at West Brom. Tottenham and Fulham tangle. Toons will hook up with Everton.

Arsenal has a one-point lead over Spurs and a two-point lead over Toons. My Gunners have 67, Tottenham 66 and Toons 65 so a loss by my guys could knock us all the way to fifth place and outta the Champions League. If this happens my guys can kiss Robin van Persie’s ass bye-bye.

The race for the last drop-dead zone is between Bolton, and QPR.

Villa is safe even though they have 38 points. Aston Villa’s is a minus 14 compared with the Wanderers minus 31 and Queens Park Rangers minus 22.

 Sir Alex said this, “”We are certainly not going away, that’s for sure,” Ferguson said. “We know that there’s a challenge and we accept that. We have a lot of young players at the club who will benefit from this season, no matter what happens.

“The disappointment of losing the game [QPR] would be unbelievable,” he said. “It’s untold what effect it could have on them. A nervous situation could arise if, with 10 or 15 minutes to go, City weren’t winning. The crowd could get a bit uneasy.

Roberto Mancini said this, “I think in the end the team that wins deserves to win, always,” Mancini said. “We have played the better football, 100%, even if we don’t win, we played the better football.

“It is important we score enough goals to win the title. I think we played really well for six months, for me the best football in the Premier League.”

I think City will be crowned the champion. This is good for futebol. The Citizens will win their first crown since 1968.

My Gunners backs are against the wall. We have to win this sucker. If not the team will be broken apart seventy-five ways to Sunday.

I am sad the season is coming to a close.

Blackpool scored two quick goals at the start of the second half to take a 2-0 lead. Birmingham scored two late goals but couldn’t push the rock past the goal line to force extra time.

The Seasiders have only played in top-flight English futebol three times. Blackpool played in 1936-37 season and was sent down the next. In 1969-70 and then were given the heave-hoe and then again in 2009-10 but the Seasiders were eighty-sixth.

These two sides will meet again on Monday to decide which one advances to the championship game.

Later today Blackpool battles Birmingham in their first leg at the Seasiders house. The return leg will take place on Wednesday. Both Blues and Blackpool were sent down last year.

Both La Gloria and Los Millionaires have hot dates on Saturday. River Plate- Gimnasia hooks up while Instituto de Cordoba Guillermo Brown tangle.

Spurs stopped the bleeding. Tottenham destroyed Bolton 4-1 at White Hart Lane. Emmanuel Adebayor hit the daily lotto twice. His mates Luka Modric and Rafael van Der Vaart each scored.

The win inches Spurs closer to my guys Arsenal. My Gunners are in third place with 66 points. Spurs are fourth at 65 and Toons are fifth with 65 também. Tottenham is a plus Newcastle is only a plus nine. Chelsea is in sixth place with 61.

The only chance the Blues have to make to the Champions League next season is to win the title on May 19^th. I think this is a rip off. The Champion needs to earn their berth back to defend their title like it is done all major sports.

This rule needs to be changed.

All teams in the EPL are level. Yes, Liverpool and Chelsea will meet in the FA Cup final but they will meet in the make up match on Tuesday May 8^th.

There are two matches left in the season.

Wolves are history but Bolton and Blackburn need to win their last two matches and hope that QPR. Wigan and Aston Villa lose.

The Rovers will probably head south but Wanderers have a chance to stay afloat. Blackburn has 31 points. Bolton has 34. The Rovers are tied on points with QPR. The Wig guys have 37 and Villa has 37 também.

The Citizens are a plus 61. The mighty boys from Old Trafford are a plus 54.

Roy Hobgson was named England’s headman. I think this is a good choice for the Brits.

He is the current manager of West Brom. He will remain as the head guy for the last two matches. The Baggies are sitting in tenth place.

Fulham picks up their first win over Liverpool at Anfield in the clubs history. The only goal of the match came in the fifth minute. The Cottagers Stephan Kelly nailed a shot into the box. The Reds Martin Skrtel put the ball into the back of his own net. Game, set, and match to Fulham.

Liverpool rested most of their big boys against the Cottagers. The Reds have a hot date with Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Everton and Stoke City tied at one all.

The Toffees are in seventh place with 52 points. Liverpool is in eighth place with 49. Fulham is in ninth place with 49 points também. The Reds are plus five while the Cottagers are a minus two.

Later today Chelsea and Newcastle hook up and Spurs and Bolton. These are the games in hand for these clubs.

Look folks Man U is having a down year. The mighty boys from Old Trafford are weak on the “D”. They make too many defensive mistakes. These mistakes cost em big time. This problem was evident from day one.

Roberto Mancini is in Sir Alex’s head. This is Jose Mourinho part two.

This is great. Yours truly wrote that Man City would run the table. The Citizens are halfway there.

I am not a huge City fan but I like the dogs. Dogs are good for the game. The Citizens haven’t won squat since 1968.

City out played Man U from the get go. Rooney was not involved in the attack. Why wasn’t Chicharito used by Sir Alex?

There are two matches left and anything can happen.

Man U needs to regroup and score a ton of goals. City has superior goal difference.

The Citizens are a plus 61. Man U is a plus 54.

What killed Sir Alex was the loss to Wigan and the tie to Everton last weekend.

Don’t give City the title yet anything can happen in the last two matches. Newcastle is up next for the Citizens. Toons are reeling from their blowout loss at the hands of Wigan. Newcastle is still in the running for a place in the Champions League.

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched City.

This years top four spots could come down to goal difference. The race for the last two you’re outta here places could come down to goal difference também.

Chelsea has two titles they are fighting for The FA Cup and the Champions League crown.

Chelsea and Liverpool will play back-to-back games next week. They’ll battle for the FA Cup on Saturday and then hook up again on Tuesday in an EPL match.

Spurs picked a huge 2-0 win over Blackburn. This was one of those must win situations for Tottenham. This win snaps a two match-losing streak. The bleeding is stopped for now.

Rafael Van der Vaart and Kyle Walker ripped the twines for Spurs.

Tottenham is now in fourth place on goal difference. Both Spurs and Toons have 62 points but Tottenham has a plus 20 while Newcastle is a plus seven. Chelsea is in sixth place with 61 points.

Spurs, the Blues, and Toons will play on Wednesday. Tottenham- Bolton and Chelsea-Toons are the wars to be waged.

The big match will be City and Man U later today. It would be cool if the Citizens win this sucker and thus throw the title race into a wide-open affair.

Crazier things have happened.

My Gunners now have a four-point lead over Newcastle.

Arsenal has 66 points and Toons have 62.

The Potters started off the match with a goal by Peter Crouch in the 9^th minute. Crouch noodled home the strike dead center of the box. Mathew Etherington set this puppy up with a great cross into the box.

My Gunners found the answer in the 14^th minute. Robin Van Persie booted home the close range bomb to level this sucker at one all.

This was all she wrote. Game over. A tie for Arsenal but this is not going well right now.

The guys look outta sorts. There seems to be a lack of effort and drive to get the win. Sure we are locked in third place but with two matches left after this week my Gunners could wind up on the outside looking in.

Wenger said this after the tie. All quotes taken from www.arsenal.com

“I believe that it was a game where we have shown great character, great battling qualities. It was a game of two different approaches – one very direct in the air and one who tries to play on the ground. Both teams are good at what they do and that’s why I think it was still an interesting game. We had good chances, especially in the first half. In the second half I felt our fluency dropped a bit in midfield – we still had chances though, especially a penalty that was not given. Overall we deserved at least a point and I can only give credit to my players for their battling qualities and the way they responded to what Stoke offered us – full commitment, well-organised, direct. We did not always cope with it but today I felt we did.”

Wenger on the fans giving him a hard time and mocking him.

“I focus on what I love in my job and the way my players behave on the pitch. I am not responsible for the way people behave in the stands. If you want to stop that it is easy to stop but I cannot influence it. I have had so much [criticism] in England, I have been here for 15 years, and basically I don’t hear it because I am focused on the game.”

Spurs plays Blackburn later today. Chelsea is at home against Queens Park Rangers.

A win by Tottenham would put the Spurs at 62 points. Tottenham, Toons, and the Blues each have a game in hand. This game will be played on Wednesday.

A Blues win would give them 61 points.

Everton killed Fulham 4-0. Wolves came back from a 4-2 deficit to tie Swansea City four all. Sunderland and Bolton tied at two all. West Brom and Aston Villa battled to a nil-nil draw.

Liverpool stopped the bleeding with a 3-0 win over Norwich City. Luis Suarez hit the hit trick for the Reds.

Wolves are eighty-sixth. Blackburn sits in 19^th place with 31 points. It looks like the Rovers are whale meat. Bolton is one step to safety with 34 points.  QPR is almost in the bye-bye zone with 34 points. The Latics have 37 points and they are in 16^th place.

Villa sits in 15^th place with 37 points.

After this week there are two matches left. Wigan, Aston Villa, and The Hoops are still in danger of getting the heave-hoe.

If Bolton wins their last three matches and either one of the three the Wigs guys, Villa, and QPR stumble the Rovers can pull the great Houdini.
