Top of the league by 5pm please lads.
Fancy West Ham to take something of Arsenal tonight and with the rags and spurs playing each other tomorrow we have a big chance to consolidate our position further today.
Come on Blues!!!

I think Mancini mentioned he wouldn't be starting due to fitness. But we'll see, I am so excited to see him in action I may go into arrest before 11pm.

Fuck I hope we give that hiding we've been threatening to give all season. Get Tevez back to top scoring charts and maybe even a debut goal for whats his face.

For some reason I'm really nervous about today's game. I hop we will get our revenge for the away defeat, but I think it will be a hard-fought win.

Setting off in 5 so just to say:

Hopefully Zab starts today. Wolves hit our fullbacks when they won at Molineux and Jarvis/*unt against Boateng/Kolarov doesn't inspire me.
Pity Dzeko won't start, really looking forward to him making his bow.

I'd have him stand facing a wall in training while the other got target practice at him by kicking balls his way. Did I mention he was a cunt?

I'm feeling itchy as well m8. I'm using the universal method of ale and whiskey to calm things down. My eldest has been to a badminton comp this morning and I hope he's not jinxing. He lost to two girls( they were 4 years older though)
