lol. Just lol. Quality.

Haha love it. Mancini is the one saying it too, so its even more brilliant.


How come I cant see all the well done Chelseas? Or the well played etc...

I think its because United fans are now scared of losing second spot, Liverpool realise they will have to settle for Europa League and Arsenal and Tottenham now find themselves battling for 4th.

Dare I say it but Chelsea are looking more solid.

When City were spanking us first 20 minutes... we had 62% possession... Which is what I have said in my last 100 posts now. If we allow ourselves to get pinned back like City, Utd, Lpool, Arsenal, Spurs all find themselves, then it becomes easier to attack.

We dropped deeper and then we smashed City out the park.

I dont think Ivanovic should of got sent off, because Balotelli Scored and stayed on his feet? Gary Neville, shut your face.

I think the penalty was certainly giveable, but on first glance I thought Bosingwa done enough to pull his leg away, and because Rameries would of took the ball off Silva anyway, I think you can forgive Clattenberg for thinking Silva has gone down because the ball has got away from him.

But only in a super slow-mo you see their is the slightest of contacts.

Mata, the Lion Spaniard!

What a player he is proving to be.

But you can't dislike this guy, not even anti-chelsea fans can talk trash about him.

When Yaya kicked him, allbeit not very hard kick, 99.9% of non-domestic players, in a big game like this, would of done rolly-pollies, backflips etc etc... and even 85% of the domestic players would have done it.

Then when Yaya swung a slap in Mata's face, you can count on one hand the amount of players worldwide that would of reacted like Mata. The rest would go down holding their faces.

What a sport.

Yaya's deliberate scrape down the back of Ramieres ha! Couldnt even catch him! Yaya was totally dominated by Ramieres, start to finish and he is 1/4 the size of Toure!

I think pound for pound, player for player, Chelsea are far better than City. So im just delighted Chelsea could prove their worth basically. Drogba was excellent at the end, mugging them all off ha! Clichy should of deffo got the second yellow, Yaya had to of gone at some point, and the handball was quite obvious so left the ref no choice.

Must say though, Clattenberg looked as though he wanted us to win really. As soon as Clichy went in, Clattenberg was already gripping his pocket so already had it in his mind he was going to send him off if he didnt get the ball.

All round great game, Sturridge proving he has a right boot! The shot just over the bar CORR! The assist for the first, and then assisting the pen!

Great game lads!

your just like the others . you stick up for your club , you dont see any the bad stuff and feel robbed when something goes against them

Watched the game (as well as Junior Apprentice) and thought it was pretty poor stuff from both teams.

Chelsea would have been knackered if Bibotelli went down, and had a red and a pen. Not a red obviously though cos he carried on and scored, so didn't deny him the goal scoring opportunity. Then knackered again if the ref gave the penalty to Silva.

City from then on
were poor, Chelsea scored with good play from Sturridge, and the penalty to them was also correct.

Think the game would have been over after 20 minutes if the ref did his job, but then again at 11 v 11 it was an even game, 11 V 10 obviously mostly Chelsea, and Chelsea won it cos Elephant Man Lescott is poo.

I take it everyone has heard about Darren Fletcher? He has taken an extended break due to a 'chronic inflammatory bowel condition.'

It sounds horrible, and IMO his career is as good as over.

The Chelsea City game...

Chelsea deserved the win, they were the better team even with 11 men on the pitch (espicially second half)

I had them to win 2-1 aswell so they baged me a few £, I think it was always going be a Chelsea win people under estimate them and they are still a really strong stable team.

Man City won't beat every team they still got to play Liverpool/Tottenham/Arsenal/Man Utd etc etc there are alot of point they could drop in just them games alone right now in the Premiership nobody is unbeatable who'd of though the most on form team losing to Stoke even tho we can beat Newcastle/Swansea/Sunderland/Bolton etc

I am going to go mad here and say Chelsea might win the league I can't see them droping anymore points now they finally found form, but it's definatly going to be a great 3 way race between City/United and Chelsea

Does anyone think I was an idiot for sticking some money on Tottenham to win the league a few weeks ago? Odds were 40/1 when I was in Vegas.

You sure as hell won't be seeing that money again...

probably. but 40/1?

Based on their performance last season, they were definitely worth the risk. How much did you put on?

$50. I thought I'll lose 50 or win 2000. And I liked that idea lol.

I'm not a Man Yoo fan by any means, but this is a terrible thing to happen to a player in his prime.

It also means that the Utd midfield is looking somewhat understaffed now, which may have a big impact on the 2nd 1/2 of the season, unless Fergie pulls another magic rabbit out of the hat over Xmas.

Happy days lol

P.s. Yes Seb, I do think it was a terrible idea... you should have got at least 60/1 on Spurs

Just to complete the info- at the time, they were 3 points behind Man Utd (8 points behind Man City) with a game in hand. So they're one point closer now.

Seb, you have been robbed mate. Some guy I play poker with, the week before last he put £1000 on Tottenham at 80/1 with Corals...

Last season he also had £500 that Tottenham would win the Champions League at 66/1.

He also had these bets with me but only for a cheeky £50 and he wanted evens...

He has more money than sense (football wise) he just loves his Tottenham!

Well I disagree.

I said that the penalty could have been given, but I understand why it wasnt...

Whereas Chelseas turned down penalties are no brainers and we get them refused left right center.

But I defend my club? Of course I do...

I feel robbed when we are failed by officials? Of course I do?

Thats common knowledge.

I think you should actually read my posts before making rash/spur of the moment judgements.

4000/1 then it would be worth the risk lol, 40/1 are shocking odds, Spurs are not going to win anything this season, and are probably not for another good few seasons.

I think Besiktas and lets say the organisers are scum!

Stoke City flew out to them and as everything was arranged they happend to take Stoke City to the wrong Airport putting them in Asia not Europe so they had to travel for an extra 4 hours to be able to get to their hotel.

We all know that Besiktas need to win tonight to stay in Europe League as people can't see Kiev losing even though Besiktas are 3 points clear and have a +4 goal difference over Kiev they still need to be dirty!

If they do beat Stoke tonight that would mean we go second in the group and they would top it.

Yeah there are probably better odds around the world. But in the US, sports betting is only legal in Vegas, meaning my options were slightly limited lol.
Thinking about it, if they played this season out 40 times, you don't think Tottenham would win at some point?

I disagree with what mr fuunky said about spurs have no chance. They just need a proper good centre half and they are sorted and attacking wise i can only think of man city who are better.
Lennon---Parker---Modric---Bale

^^^^ Class that like....Obviously jack_pot will tell us Newcastle's is better like...

And why can't you bet anywere in America other than sin city? Its more religous in America than in the middle east in my opinion

Don't know why. That's just the law here. Even in Atlantic City you can't...
except of course horse and dog races. Which apparently aren't considered sports betting.
