Probably because he's too nice to us

That's exactly what I just thought.

I still think the Villa centre half is gonna get a tiny touch on Raheem’s cross to the back post. Must watch the highlights a few hundred more times just to be sure he didn’t…

The great Brian Clough said that he’d rather win the title than the European Cup, as it was then, as it showed consistency over a nine month period, not just a bit of luck in a few games.

Luck along with the inevitable decisions favouring the hierarchy teams. Though what happened with the disallowed Real Madrid goal against LiVARpool, makes me wonder as Real Madrid would seem to be top of the hierarchy. LiVARpool got similar game changing decisions in the league and cups.

In theory a team could win the Champions league by losing six games ( 3 group matches and 3 legs in each of the knockout rounds) .This would equate to losing 46% of the matches in the competition. There is no way that a team could lose 46% of its matches in the premier league and hope to win it.

Watched the highlights from Pitcam tonight from the Villa match, amazing pitch level view, although traumatic, you can’t beat a bit of drama to clinch the title and this footage adds to the drama

We get slagged for lack of atmosphere but I have never seen anything better anywhere in England than those last 15 minutes. Bedlam

South stand 3rd tier was bouncing, fantastic atmosphere but then again the last few home games was good

Watched the whole game several times now. Lots of great things after 75 mins, but the absolute game changer is KDB winning that ball to cross for gundog's winner. He had absolutely no right to win that ball and it was just absolute determination.

Somethings seem pre ordained such as the way Pablo Zabaleta scored against QPR when the ball loopped up in the air after the save, over the goalkeeper and dropped in the top corner of the net. Same with the way the ball arched towards Kevin De Bruyne and away from the defender. There was still a lot of work to do and KDB had to be alert and determined. It was a magical moment. CHAMPIONS!
