Well the only thing that I can say about the last fixture is that these things happen only in EPL.
Manchester City was losing till the 91st minute against QPR, when Djeko equalized and Aguero scored the winning goal in the last minute, giving City the title after 44 years. Whoever didn't see this match lost a chance to see an amazing match. At the same time United won 0-1 in Sunderland.
Your thoughts about it?

Amazing game! Full of drama! QPR nearly did a Chelsea but Manchester City proved that they could do better than Barcelona by getting the win eventually. Manchester City deserves the title and I salute QPR for their fighting spirit. What a game! Yes, games like this can only happen in EPL. Congratulations to Manchester City! But my team, Manchester United, will be back next season. Let's fight again!

Yes, it will be a very big challenge for Sir Alex to deal with Manchester City. It will be very interesting next season to see the changes in Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United etc after the lessons they learned this season.

All I can say is Oh- My-G-d!! I taped the match. I avoided the sportscasts and saw the match this morning! I was hoping City could win but I did not expect this! When QPR went up 2-1 I was thinking Uh-Oh. They showed me the hurt on the faces in the crowd. But to score twice? In Stoppage time?! Are you kidding me?! What a match. This is my first full season following the EPL. What a debut!

You were in time for the most exciting season in EPL history. Past seasons were interesting as well but not as close-fought as in this season. Football is such a game that if the team just put in absolute efforts, sometimes they can make a miracle out of their far superior opponents.

I don't think we could have asked for a better finale than what we just witnessed. When all teams started today, Man City was at the top. When Man United finished their game, they thought they were the champions. Then there was a buzz in the stadium that Man City had equalized. Then two minutes later doom and gloom, the noisy neighbors had just snatched a winner through Aguero.
The blue moon suddenly burst out and it is really going to be a noisy Manchester today.
Cheers!

Amazing game and scene we have witnessed. Thou I would prefer Man Utd to win it, I have to give it Man City. They never gave up till it is all over. The title is the just reward. Lets see who they will raid this summer and if they can challenge for the title on a consistent basis.

Well as soon as their board is up for some more investment on the club I think they'll remain in the top-5 teams in the next couple of years, along with Manchester United,Chelsea,Arsenal,Tottenham. Maybe if Newcastle can play as well as this year and if Liverpool makes a come back in the top level we could witness a great season next year.

Being a ManUnited fan, I was hoping for a QPR win, but thought it quite impossibe.
And yes, I did miss the game, kept seeing the BBM updates on my phone.
Cheers to Manchester City!

I could not believe it when QPR scored the second goal. I had thought that the first goal was already a miracle. When they equalized I was thinking that it was just inevitable. But, boy, I really thought that the 'twist' that Sir Alex talked about was materializing with minutes remaining! Even if they could score again at most it was just a draw. We can be Champions again! But Aguero was such a fantastic player and he was really the buy of the season with his last strike that brought them the title. Although it feels a bit sour, I have to say that they are deserved champions.

I never had doubt that my team Man City would not have won. They deserve the title, played good football for most of the season. They have also show never die attitude.
It was a great game. It was a clif hanger.
They will also win the title next year and proberly the Carling Cup.

I just hope that next year we could witness a race with more than two "horses" for the title. It would be great to see a title race between all 5-6 top teams in EPL. Fortunately Chelsea has already made a good move buying Hazard so at least we could see a 3 teams race :)

They deserved the title. They played well. They were expected to beat the hell out of QPR at home with no sweats. But they were left 1-2 to a 10 men team with a few minutes to play. Mancini was getting more and more hysterical on the sideline. Eventually they managed to restore their sanity, barely - it was unbelievable. I really don't know how the City fans inside and outside the stadium will feel if their team lost. In fact I did feel for them. And I am a Manchester United fan!
Will they be able to retain the title next season? Possibly, along with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle and Liverpool. They may even win the European Cup - the same as Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, AC Millan etc.

Crazy end to an insane season. Look at where Chelsea ended off, 6th!
Man United were too arrogant I believe to win the title and dropped the ball when it counted most but wow what a great season this was. City winning the league, Liverpool winning the Carling Cup, Chelsea winning the FA Cup(and potential for the Champions League). I am really excited to see what happens next season!

Indeed what an end to a season of high drama. Who would have predicted a Manchester City win in the dying minutes of the game that to, to score two decisive goals. Incredible or sure luck that was on their side for those few minutes. City could not find teh back of the net against a 10 men QPR during normal time but did so twice in stoppage time.
Dramatic end but congrats to City and well played for the entire season. Hope next season will be as exciting as this one..
