A footballing celebration in Manchester with no red in sight? Shome mishtake, shurely? Well, no, for it was City's turn to celebrate with the traditional run round the city centre in a bus (faintly visible in the distance; better view here Image]) having secured, in perhaps the most thrilling denouement of any title race anywhere ever, the Premiership title the day before, their first title since 1968. A minute into injury time in their final game, not having lost all season at home, they were losing 2-1, at home, to relegation candidates QPR. A minute later they had drawn level and in the fifth minute of injury time they conjured up a winner, frustrating their only rivals, the red half of Manchester.
