Sunday, bloody sunday - a great song but normally a very boring day. Thankfully, after spending the majority of the day watching TV, I got an invite to go and have dinner round Shal's house - corned beed hash, yummm! Obviously I accepted, haha.
I went round to Shal's at about 3pm and watched the football with Adam, Wes and Sean. Man Utd were playing away against Sunderland and Man City were at home against QPR. It was a very intense afternoon, with lots of twists and turns. Man united went 1-0 up after 20 minutes thanks to a goal from Rooney and that really put the pressure on Man City because the two Manchester teams were battling it out for the Premier League Title and it came down to this last game of the season for the both of them.
Zabaleta scored for Man City in the 39th minute and made them favourites to take the title. So both teams were 1-0 up at half time and it was still an open contest for them. Suddenyl QPR managed to take the lead against City with goals from Cisse in the 48th minute and Mackie in the 66th minute. The pressure was on and Man City had some work to do do. If they failed to win and the Man Utd game stayed as it was, then the Reds would be crowned champions.
Towards the end of the second half, Man City were piling on the pressure and were clearly not giving up - they were dominating the game with posession but were finding it very difficult to get the ball in the back of the net. In the 91st minute, Man City have earned themselves another corner (they had 19 in total for the this game) and Silva crossed the ball in for Dzeko to get the equaliser - yes, City were back in the game and fighting with every breath.
News around the ground was that Man Utd had finished their game and had won 1-0 so the last couple of minutes of this game were undoubtedly tense. Corner after corner kept coming for City and eventually they got that all important winning goal they needed thanks to a great finish from Aguero in the 94th minute. They did it - they were champions of English Football for the first time in 44 years.
Of course, Sean, Wes and I were loving every second of it and cheered Man City on right to the end. Adam was not impressed cos he's a Man Utd fan so we made sure to rub it in. It truly was a glorious day for British football to see any team other than Man Utd or Chelsea winning the Premier League title. Oh, and thankfully, Arsenal managed to get 3rd place too so we'll be back in the Champions League next season, woohoo.
So after all that football excitement, we then had our dinner - a yummy corned beef hash, topped with crushed crisps and melted cheese, mmmmmm! I then went back home and spent the rest of the evening watching the usual crap on TV.
James!
