Oh the bitterness. Here have a lemon.

 

okay it was a real trophy and not a lemon

 

Morelike a lay-by in Basingstoke involving loads of choppers and a little small horn.

 

Does this kid come from Manchester?

 

Not me

Chelsea manager Conte said Chelsea 'gave everything' against City. Really? From what I saw they were picked apart like helpless pigeons.

 

Hardly Tel although City were better and their ability to get men forward quickly and their superior movement off the ball did hamper our ability to offer the attacking game we would have wanted to play. Apart from the cracking goal from De Bruyne there wasn't a whole world of difference as the scoreline told correctly.

 

No but, sadly, he does "support" Manchester United. He used to "support" Chelsea. Before that he "supported" Manchester United.

It makes my teeth grind.

 

Whatever you do though Stan don't dare call him plastic as everyone can do what they want and that is cool, right?

 

Had to give up my East lowers as girlfriend organised birthday dinner for me.

Just catching up on Footie now, looks like Atletico away took it out of us. 3 days recovery for City v 1 for us.

But it is a squad game and city’s is better than ours, even without Aguero Mendy Gundogan.

Let’s hope we can stay close to them until New Year and then pressure them next year!

 

You'll be fine when Costa comes back...

 

Disagree mate...City were were head and shoulders better in this match.
Chelsea 4 attempts (2 off and 2 on target)
City 17 attempts (6 on and 11 off)
Chelsea 38% possession
City 62% possession
City were attacking in the chelsea final third of the pitch for 30.3% of the match whereas Chelsea were in the City final third for 22.1%.
47% of chelsea touches of the ball on the pitch were in their own defensive area whereas over 53% of city touches of the ball were in midfield where they were dominant.
Imho the score line was a little flattering to Chelsea.
The over reaction to a poor Chelsea performance is a joke as is the over reaction to the most expensive team ever assembled in uk history having a good start to the season.

 

You're replying to the most one eyed fan on the forum (other than astro)

 

Neutral perspective.

Citeh did a job on Chelsea yesterday ... arguably the best display I've seen from any side this season so far. Thought losing Aguerro and Mendy might burst their bubble, but far from it ...

 

It's pretty obvious who pulls virtually all the strings in that City team. And the Chavs sold him!...

 

You can add him to your team of Chelsea rejects!

Chelsea anti football is the United way now!

 

Matic and Lukaku have been key to United as well. There's a pattern developing.

 

City looking good. Don’t mind him succeeding.

Hate all that parochial, can Pep do it at a wet Stoke crap.

We are lucky to have Pep in England
