Manchester City rally to deny Liverpool a EPL title

Manchester City being involved in all the competitions this season they had 3 games in hand over the other top teams going into the final few round of games for the EPL. They won the League cup and lost in the later stages of the FA cup. After loosing the big six pointer against Liverpool they had to win all the remaining games to win the league which looked unlikely as Liverpool were on a roll and had a good momentum and it was in Liverpools own hands.

But Liverpool did get outsmarted by "The Happy One" ie Jose Mourinho who was called "The Special One" before and since then Liverpool could not hold their nerves as they lost points until the final day of the league.
They were a team who lost their mojo as their captain Steven Gerrard's slip cost them the title.
They looked more vulnerable and the other teams got the confidence to hold Liverpool from playing their free flowing game that they did so well since the start of the year.

Poor Manchester City loose to fancy relegation threatent Wigan in FA Cup Finals

There is the final nail in Roberto Mancini's coffin, he will surely be sacked as the manager of Manchester City after they lost to relegation threaten't Wigan Athletic by a single goal. He could have salvaged this season by wining at-least a FA Cup trophy and win 3 trophies in 3 season. Mancini hasn't been able to work his magic as he did last season. The new signings haven't worked except Nastasic and it looks like his final days at Manchester

But Manchester City were poor as they have been whole season and did not have the best of games as well just 2 or 3 really good chances. Wigan had a lot more chances and they played much better. They deserved to win as they looked like they wanted to win and had the hunger to lift a trophy. They were the underdogs for this game and the neutral were expecting a drubbing by Manchester City , but it was good to see a tightly fought contest which Wigan won with zest.
