    Yep sorry forgot Pep’s an angel adored by all and would never think about playing games or trying to disrupt an upcoming opposition.

    I just called Samsung as my phone is broken, told them I'm never using their phones again. Bet they're gutted, they'll probably go out of business.

    Perhaps I worded it wrong. Here is what I meant
    As far as a club outside the top 6 goes, we are as close to a bogey side as they have. The recent results between us
    Title season - (h) 0-0 and they were lucky to get away with that
    (A) the 3-1 when we were 3-0 up at their place
    Last season - when we were on a shocking run we still went 4-0 up at home to them and they got a couple of late consolations and it was 4-2
    Away we lost 2-1, would have drawn but for Mahrez’s double kick pen late on
    This season they beat us 2-0 but they were in the middle of that 16 odd game winning run. They did worse damage to half the division

    I never said Pep was scared of us, but he will be aware (as a good manager should) that we have matched them in results over the last 3 years. That is fact.

    As far as the transfer goes, maybe it was exaggeration to suggest that was the main motivation, I’m sure it wasn’t. However the timing etc meant win win for them. Either the player and Man City pressure the transfer to go through lower than Leicester want at the last minute and if (as it didn’t) the transfer didn’t happen, there’s not normally a positive to a failed transfer but for them it’s worked out. The following week they play the club whose been disrupted by it, the player who’s been a key part of the good results against them in recent times either won’t play or if he does won’t have his head in the game. Win win and again that is fact.
    I never said we’d have got a result their if not for this but it’s guarenteed them the 3 points easier than it may have been

    I think Pep wasn't here the season everyone fell in love with Lesta, so you could have a point. He's like a Spurs fan

    Johnny boy has got a point that some managers and clubs play dirty ones to try to unsettle teams and clubs. There is no denying that...Chelsea got most of their success by hoovering up all the talent money can buy just so that the likes of Spurs can't buy and build. There was a time when their transfer policy was quite simply to buy whoever another big club was interested in, then loan them out.

    Alright calm down :emoticon-0136-giggl you know it wasn’t personal, people love a good story. Any other year everybody (myself included) would have been cheering Spurs on. You were unfortunate in the sense that the first season in how long you came so close it wasn’t against Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc, it was against even more of an underdog.
    But yeah the Pep love in is sickening

    Yep, Jose does it with mind games for teams they are playing coming up. I’m not saying that’s the sole reason for the bid, but the fall out has worked to their advantage and I’m sure they were aware of that

    I know what you mean....Pep is a bit of a patronising bald headed **** if you ask me. He actually thinks he is a football God. im still not over that **** he tried with the Southampton full back. He would never get away with that against one of the other big teams.

    It's ok I found a link. 2 goals and an assist and MOTM. Very good.

    On-loan Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi scored twice on his Borussia Dortmund debut as the German side beat Cologne.

    Batshuayi, who moved to Dortmund until the end of the season on deadline day, swept home in the first half before adding a second on the hour with a clinical finish.

    The goals came either side of a Simon Ziller strike before Jorge Mere equalised for the hosts.

    But Batshuayi then set up Andre Schurrle to give Dortmund victory.

    The win moves Dortmund up to second in the Bundesliga, sixteen points behind leaders Bayern Munich who have a game in hand.
