Football was better in the past: 1967-68
For the first time since 1937 (and for the last time to date), Manchester City claimed the league title, finishing two points clear of their local rivals Manchester United.

Sunderland 1-0 Man City

Not trying hard enough award Rio Ferdinand committed just two [...]
