Treble-seeking City landed their third Premier League crown in a row with three games to spare.

That's because Arsenal's 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday confirmed a fifth title in six campaigns for Pep Guardiola's men.

It meant a joyous Etihad party before, during and after Sunday's 1-0 home win over Chelsea.

But Mark amazed fellow City supporters by calling talkSPORT to lament the "anti-climax".

Speaking to Monday's Breakfast Show, he tried but failed to hide his underwhelmed feeling.

Mark said: “They dubbed me the miserable Manchester City fan on Sports Bar and I am not at all!

“But with that said, I do think it was a bit of an anti-climax. Going to the game yesterday and knowing you’ve already won it.

“It just didn’t feel the same. Last season, when we went 2-0 down to Villa and ended up winning it and 2012 and the season before.

"It just didn’t feel the same to win it at all. I am not miserable by the way."

Presenter, Woods, who also fronts TV coverage for Amazon Prime, responded by calling Mark something even worse than unhappy.

The Arsenal fan told him: "I have got it. You’re not miserable, Mark, you’re ungrateful.”

Her co-host Ally McCoist chimed in: “Are you sucking lemons there? What is going on down there in Manchester, what’s happened?”

The ex-Scotland striker added: “Every football supporter, and I mean every, not some, of every other club up and down the country are throwing the radios out of their windows right now, mate.

“I am not sure you are going to get a lot of sympathy!”

And talkSPORT listeners seemed even more annoyed with Mark than the presenters were.

One texter claimed: “Mark the City fan is the type of guy who’s having an affair and hoping her husband comes home – to make it more exciting!”

Another message read: “Mark the City fan. What a joker. I nearly crashed my van in frustration listening to him.”
