I don't follow the sport, but this intrigues me. How would the title be decided if this had been the case? What's the next criterion?Diamond Dog wrote:You know I've just worked out - if City had only won the derby game early in the season 2-1 (instead of 6-1) United & City would have had exactly same points, goal difference and goals scored and conceded?

Head to head record I think, which would have made City winners anyhow.

Anybody who has the slightest idea of how football works and has been operating for the past - well, twenty years would be aware that although City have been lavish, they are in no way alone, certainly not greatly different from Utd. I can only concur such guff comes from those who don't actually know as much about football as they think they do. Saying 'city bought the title' is lazy and easy.

City bought the title. That's the Premier League title!! The title that says "Champions of England".
Who gives a fuck? I suppose it adds a little to our negligible (132 year) history and it was the greatest match in the history of football!!!!
Shame we didn't do it through honest income like that given to United in the fifties by Louis (sells dodgy meat to schools) Edwards and his honest methods of bringing in youth team players - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Edwa ... alpractice

you think..I'd say they solved that particular problem when they got that huge stadium sponsorship deal.
