A season's worth of excitement in a single match

I needed to sleep on it to realize -- yesterday's MANCHESTER CITY title clincher had a season's worth of excitement packed into a single match.

Trailing 1-2 to 10-man visitors QUEENS PARK RANGERS and heading into stoppage time, Man City seemed doomed to a memorable, perhaps emotionally scarring failure.

Then, Edin Dzeko and ultimately, Sergio Aguero, scored to flip the throngs of supporters from weeping frustration to weeping glory. Man City were 3-2 winners.

Add Joey Barton's ridiculously moronic behavior following his sending off and Jamie Mackie's dramatic counter-attacking goal, and there really did seem to be a season's worth of excitement in a single match.

I know I will never forget it.
