ASAS MANCHESTERMANCHESTER CITY ARE CROWNECROWNED ED

PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS Vincent Kompany was photographed lifting the Barclays Premier League trophy without his armband after he handed it to Noel Gallagher. The former Oasis man was spotted proudly pointing to the armband on the pitch after the game. He was strolling on the pitch with Johnny Marr, casually talking to fellow Manchester City fans - apart from brother Liam. While just 36 miles away Liverpool fans again suffered heartbreak on the final day of the season as they failed to win their first league title since 1990. Liverpool needed to

beat Newcastle at Anfield while hoping Manchester City would lose to West Ham at the Etihad stadium in Manchester.

All Premier League games kickedoff at exactly 3pm in a bid to keep some drama in the title race.

Cruel Manchester City fans also thanked Steven Gerrard for his slip at Chelsea, which cost Liverpool a vital game, followed by an unlikely draw against Crystal Palace when the Merseyside team were three goals up with 20 minutes left in

the game. Fans in Anfield and

Manchester had portable radios to kee p track of the score in the other game. When word reached Manchester that Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel had scored an owngoal, the stadium erupted.

Minutes later, Manchester City scored, leaving Liverpool an impossible task. Even two late Liverpool goals were too late as City were cruising to an easy 2-0 victory.

Manchester City fans also invaded the pitch at Loftus Road in 2012 after their first league title win in Premier League history. One of their fans managed to take the match ball home with him, although he was later arrested by police.

The club decided against pressing charges against the 17-year-old youth on condition he returned the ball.
