Nothing here about saying Chelsea were the better side.

The Hazard project is discussed on another thread... keep up slow coach. You have Kagawa so you don't need him.

And your project did not go so well this season<laugh>

Haven't seen the other thread, so by your logic it didn't happen <ok>

To be honest I feel I have become more of an armchair forum user, rather than a 'proper' user like the rest of you. I feel ashamed at my plasticness, and so have decided to start supporting Chelsea, as I'll fit in better there.

Wait, Chelsea lost last night, didn't they? In which case, as a now die hard Chelsea fan, I vote we sack the manager.

<laugh> That's the United way now... we don't do things like that at Chelsea these days <whistle>

Do keep up <laugh>
 
With all due respect (since you seem a decent poster), that is complete and utter horse ****! Mourinho and Chelsea get the criticism not because of a one off game against Liverpool but because it's their number one tactic away from home and do it all the time! Doing it in high profile games just highlights it further. Also, when they do it in Europe it doesn't get the attention unless they lose because all parts of the media must be seen in good light; ie no matter what you say, don't go against a English club!

Appreciate the compliment Gerrez, but then you should know from my posts this isn't an anti-liverpool gripe. As I said in my response to Sisu, if that had been a high profile game between Arsenal and Chelsea, I really don't think we'd be hearing about it 5 days later...or talking about it either. Chelsea have gone away from home and not played particularly well, but ground out wins. You must have heard the media in previous seasons call this the "mark of champions". Chelsea, City and United have done this in the past. Don't get me wrong, I abhor that style of football, even when United have played that way. I'm a bit of a purist. But what annoys me is the hypocrisy, that in past seasons, whenever this topic was brought up the majority opinion in the media was that "managers play to their strengths" and "they don't owe anything to anyone but their own club", and a "win is a win". And this wasn't just the likes of Stoke I'm talking about, even when Mancini did it at City. The performance by City against Arsenal (both challenging for the title at the time) at the Emirates a few year ago was far worse than Chelsea's on Sunday but nobody mentioned it the next day, let alone 5 days later. The only reasons I can think it's happening now is a mix of anti-Mourinho hatred (probably deserved tbf) and the media is full of ex-liverpool players. I switch on the TV and it's Rednapp, Souness or Carragher going on about. Switch on the radio and it's Fowler and Micky Quinn. And it's hardly unbiased debate either, all one sided. Where were they when other clubs were doing it?
 
Don't know where else to put this but after seeing the Europa League semi, Juve have been very poor tonight.
 
Tough match for city this weekend.

But ironically Everton needing 3 points may play into City's hands. They will need to attack and try to win rather than sit back if they had needed only 1 point. A draw and Everton have no chance of catching up with arsenal.

City would prefer a more open game. Come on City <ok>

Your first priority on a United matchday is to cheer on City.<laugh>

Gareth Barry out. Good news for city
 
Embarrassing as **** that the liverpool fans expect everton to do them a favour. Liverpool would roll over if it was them. A Gerrard classic would gift the opposition a goal.

Liverpool fans claim its for the city <laugh>
