The two teams that didn't change their manager, Forest and West Ham, stayed up. I suppose that is irony.
That was a better result for us (me).
I'm so pleased the 3354 City personnel can do all their trophy lifting tomorrow, at home, and not bother to show up on Wednesday.

Tony wouldn't sell him because he wanted him to help us get into Europe....We cost Arsenal the title by not selling Caicedo.
Piers Morgan and all those plastics who live in Sussex …. diddums.
Frankly, after 1978 and this season's PGMOL shitshow I'd rather help Villa to 7th. place over Spurs (providing we are already safe in 6th, having beaten Southampton).So just imagine. If we manage to win tomorrow or against City (or get a draw in fact) - we can go down every 3 minutes V Villa if the scores are level in the second half. Spurs or Brentford beating a City team resting players for the final = massive shithousery to see Villa miss out on Europe.

How sad that the petro-state team weren,t able to celebrate the confirmation of their ( yet again ) title-winning money bags team., in front of their own supporters. A wonderfully damp squib to end the Premier League season for them.
I don't mean to be ungracious, but who gives a shit ..?

I only got a C at O level so yep. Busted.
I think you have to say they did. They were doing so well, and were fine while they could play the 'look, it's early days, let's not get carried away' card. But once we got into the final third of the season, and the possibility of winning the title because more realistic, less of a quirk of early fixtures, that's when they started to drop points. If they missed out solely on dropping points to thriving teams (top 4-6 teams, for example) maybe it could be argued that they were just up against good teams. But they dropped four points against Southampton, three to Everton, now three to Forest, two v West Ham. That was the difference. Beat the teams they should when the pressure is on and they are champions, even with the dropped points v city, us, newcastle, man u, and liverpool. They wouldn't even have to worry about the VAR error v Brentford.

I would love it if we beat Villa final day, Spurs lost to Leeds and somehow Brentford beat City and sneak into 7th spot.

7 points out of a possible 21, I'd sat that's bottling it. Especially the way they did, chucking away 2 goal leads

Abso-bloody-lutely this
...
Hyperthetical question, if we give them a guard of honour onto the pitch next Wednesday, can we be sent off if we give them a few (not too serious) kicks to try and gain an advantage?
I assume they’ll receive the trophy at their last home game so we won’t need to wait for the full team/squad/medical team/pension advisers/ non cheating lawyers and sous chefs to walk across the pitch at the end of the game?

100% correct.
Perfect set of results, including the back up plan of City being on the beach. Leeds or Everton down. Either will be hilarious. Forest away again next season.
But now it’s up to us to do the business

And even that would only equal our GD we’d finish above Villa on goals scored.
Well, it hasn't worked very well for PSG. Grudgingly must admit there's a sprinkling of Guardiola magic involved too. But totally agree it's not that much of an achievement with infinite resources and all those charges still to be resolved.
