It Doesn't Matter What You Think About Football (Soccer), This Is Awesome

Manchester City have won the English Premier League title for the first time in 44 years, surging past Queens Park Rangers 3-2 on Sunday with Sergio Aguero scoring his team's second stoppage time goal in the 94th minute to seal a dramatic comeback win.

Aguero, the son-in-law of Argentine great Diego Maradona, scored during the fourth minute of injury time, two minutes after substitute Edin Dzeko made it 2-2. The winning goal snatched the trophy from defending champion Manchester United on goal difference. Seconds earlier, Man City players appeared to be congratulating themselves on what was an almost certain Premier League Title win.

Without Aguero's startling goal, United would have won the title after its 1-0 victory over Sunderland moments earlier on the final day of the season.

In the Premier League, there is no finals series or playoff at the end of the season so thrilling finishes like this are rare. Read more on the comeback for the ages here.

Who Are We?

Error: Operator is a blog. Like so many others these days, we post stuff that we like.

We don't pretend to create everything on this site - far from it. In fact, we wish we created everything on this site, but we aren't that clever, and don't have that much time. We don't intend to copyright anyone's work - if we post something on this site, we enjoyed it, and we hope you might too. We'll always try to post credit to the original source, but this is the internet. Seriously, who came up with this? Anyone?

If the handful of views we are pulling is rubbing you and your blog the wrong way, that's fine. Get in contact with us and we will gladly give you the three cents you might have earned with Google Ads if you had those views instead. Or we'll take the post down - whichever you like.

Sometimes, we will post a lot. Other times, not so much. Life is like that. Sometimes, we post well-thought out, detailed posts we would be proud to show our mothers. Other times, we find a video of a dog pooping on a baby and cannot stop laughing until we show someone.

If you don't like what we do, then you're in control - go check out someone else's page. If you think you can do better (you probably can), then nothing's stopping you. And, on the off chance you like something you see, we love hearing about that too.
