Manchester City won the English Premier League title after 44 years beating Queens Park Rangers 3-2, edging out Manchester United on goal difference.
After the defeat Alex McLeich said that “It was an absolutely shocking, woeful display. Maybe some of the boys were thinking about their holidays already.
“That team needs a change and there will be change. That wasn’t an Alex McLeish team today. We need to bring more quality into the squad.
“I take (the fans’ booing) on my shoulders for the sake of the players, I agree with the fans’ frustration about our display.
“I’m expecting the board to back me. I have no reason to think I won’t be (Villa manager next season). We’ve got through a really tough season. I’ve won lots of trophies as a player and manager and I haven’t turned into a bad manager overnight.”
Mancheseter City captain Vincent Kompany says “I want to say it is the best moment of my life but if I’m honest then I would say please never again this way.
“We have been so good at home all season but in the second half we just couldn’t get through the QPR defence. Did I give up? No, I never stopped believing. When Edin Dzeko scored to make it 2-2, it reminded me of our late goals against Tottenham and Sunderland.
Here is the final scoreboard of the Barclays Premier League:
