    If Pep was a genius then spending £170m on top of having Aguero, DeBruyne, Silva, Stirling and Kompany should have at LEAST led to a title challenge.
    Instead he failed miserably yet he was excused. It was claimed it 'wasn't his team"...he spent £170 in one window but it's not his team?
    <laugh>
    He has now spent a further £210m ... £380m in 16 months means he should be winning everything in sight yet instead of pointing out that he is buying success pundits are praising him for building a team.
    Utter bollocks imo

    Well yesterday was a bit meh... Took a wrong turn on the way back and ended up on the m5 too... ****ing detour <doh>

    And yes it's a joke that Pep will be considered a genius if they win the league.

    Fancy United will anyway.

    No one argued that point Colin and it wasn't a poor Chelsea performance also there wasn't a lot in it as at 0-1 anything could happen so given City were very much on top that still could have dropped points. In the face of probably the best performance this season so far I thought we did well to stay in it until the very end.

    Shame we can't get hold of Liverpool this side of the international break and rag them senseless, hopefully the internationals will come back injury free and still brimming with confidence.

    Agree with this. As I said earlier, finish above City and you'll win the league. Best side so far this season.

    You have misinterpreted what ive said.

    Firstly going on a inpressive dribbling to score on a few occasions doesnt mean that should be our tactic. Expecting hazard to dribble past 4 and bang it in.

    Secondly i was talking about running off the ball into (preferably forward) and into areas to make the defence uncomfortable /stretch the defence. Neither really do this both like to drop deep or wait for the ball to come to them rather than making dangerous runs which doesnt help fabregas game especially against an opponent like city

    Just because I say it how I see it with Conte doesn't mean I'm not a Chelsea fan <doh>

    Edit- **** forgot to switch accounts.

    He's not interested in United but a strange love affair with Jose.

    So after the next matchday, London's five clubs should finally overtake the goals scored tally of Manchester's two clubs.

    Currently it's 42 goals scored by London's five clubs and 43 goals scored by Manchester's two clubs.

    They were scared and gave City too much respect.

    Might be the Stamford Bridge hoodoo..thats 2 losses at home now...Think the chavvy ****s need to shut their mouths about Wembley and concentrate on their own game

    ****ers
