You can't just spend money and win a title. You need a tactically astute manager, and players who have the right mentality in adversity. City showed that today by winning the game in injury time. Aguero could have shanked that shot under pressure but showed what why he's a world class player.
It's quite petty to begrudge them the title, they deserve it. Yes, they spent money to win it but that's the only way in modern football, otherwise the United-Chelsea duopoly would just continue. Our model of fleecing the fans and banking the profits will never deliver a title because our goal isn't to win trophies. Until that changes we'll continue to watch teams like United and City with envy.
