BLUE MOON RISING
No Manchester City triumph would be complete without the obligatory hijacking by Noel Gallagher and it has been revealed that Sunday’s was no exception. So wild was the pogoing in the hospitality section of the Etihad as Ilkay Gündogan scored the goal that clinched the title, that the former Oasis star and professional Mancunian shipped an accidental loaf to the face from Rúben Dias’s old man, leaving him with two shiners and a split lip that needed several stitches. It was a painful blow, but Gallagher’s adjournment to the medical room at least spared him the even worse agony of having to watch his team’s heroic collective effort to keep the ball down by the corner flag for the final nine minutes of their remarkable come-from-behind win.
