MANCHESTER CITY'S LATE BRACE DASHES MANCHESTER UNITED'S 20TH TITLE HOPES

For their first time in 44 years and in what can be described as a magical but thrilling manner, Manchester City’s brace at the stoppage time has landed them the 2011/2012 English premier League title.

Their victory which was delivered through Edin Dzeko& Sergio Aguero, came after a fierce battle with Queen Park Rangers.

Manchester United players were on the verge of celebrating their ‘imminent’ victory at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light after a 1-0 victory when news of Manchester’s ‘unexpected’ victory streamed in. I’m sure no one believed the extra minutes could give them a turn around

“Five minutes from the end I did not think we could win this game. We deserved to win this championship,” the overly excited Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini told Sky Sports.

Though both Manchester City and United finished on 89 points, the latter’s ‘sudden’ goal difference gave them the prominent title.
Congrats Manchester City!!! Yaya Toure couldn’t have had a better 29th birthday gift.
The Etihad stadium is ‘burning’ right now.

Sorry Manchester United fans, learnt you guys already printed your ’20th shirts’ (>_<)

There's certainly nothing like nature. This is more like 'imploring' all africans out there to explore the african ennvironment. Rather than waste money fixing a jacuzzi in your house, you can always get a natural, and of course more invigorating one.lol

Done with jokes! What was this guy thinking? Seriously I'm still baffled by this, why would anyone swim in this kind of water let alone rest in it?

US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA THROWS WEIGHT BEHIND GAY MARRIAGE

When President Barack Obama publicly declared his support for that 'vexed' issue of gay marriage, I'm sure it sent waves of shock into people's spines, as he was once strongly against it but recently he claimed his views are 'evolving'.Anyways, his republican rival, Mitt Romney had something different in mind, "I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman." He stated during his campaign.

As for Gay rights advocates, they couldn't have heard a better news, they had long urged for that declaration. Beyond that, one man who married his gay partner in Washington, D.C., was stirred to send a $25 contribution to the president's campaign. So who says Obama doesn't know what he is doing? Infact, a good number of his biggest financial backers are gay, and some have pressurized him publicly to declare his support for same-sex marriage.According to the African-American who also claims to be taking a personal position, it wouldn't dawn on his daughters, Sasha and Malia, that some of their friends' parents would be treated differently than others."I have hesitated on gay marriage in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient, I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word 'marriage' was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth. It is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that same-sex couples should be able to get married." He confirmed.Personally oo, Obama didn't fall my hand, he's cut it off totally. O_o (>_<)
