英伦广角 2014-05-17 曼城夺冠庆典 俱乐部与球迷共同欢庆

 Manchester City fans could get used to this, second premier¹ league title in 3 seasons, we’re clubbed was once a byword for failure. 

For a C fan of a certain age, we went through too much to really get used to this. These are great, great, great, great days, I think the England’s, there’re reports say now the England’s, they’ll get used to it. We’ll never get used to it. 

For manager Manuel Pellegrini’s first season in charge, City closed down this title like champions. The blue moon is rising again. But despite his players’ best efforts, the Chilean was not getting carried away. 

My first year at EA England is not easy to be accustomed to, used to win an English football. But I think that they manage great football players, and great institution and great fans. 

Those in work may get a chance to celebrate the team this evening. 

There’ll be 10,000 fans here in Albert Square to greet Manuel Pellegrini and his team, at the start of a victory parade for City’s champions. A year ago, Manchester United were painting the town all read, well, it’s blue now. There’s no question, the balance of power in Manchester ending this football, have shifted². 

City may be champions of England, but this victory was also celebrated³ in Abu Dhabi, whose ruling family have paid for all this success. They’ve spent £1,000,000,000 transforming City, their extravagance may come at a price. Today UAF is expected to fine the club £50,000,000 for breaking rules that limit spending. For City’s critics, there’ll be further evidence that they bought the title. For fans, we’ll think it was worth every penny.
