Last years champions scared to come to the Etihad parked the bus quite a compliment really.
I really would like to see a rag guard of honor at the derby.

We were tired looking at 70 mins which is no surprise.
Chelsea offered nothing much, very ordinary.


Tired maybe but still Kevin, Merlin and others were still at it closing down and pressing them so so well right to the end

Bernardo , speaks fluent French, is Portuguese and also speaks Spanish, so clearly a well read and intelligent young man.


I always think he’s Spanish for some reason!

We’ve got Everton and Stoke before them mate.


Yes I do know that, but winning against the rags effectively counts as two wins. If we lose to them we still need four wins, not three.


You have to throw Liverpool into the equation too.


I'd rather just throw Liverpuddle into the Mersey.

Great win after a long week. Chelsea looked gash but only because we made them look like that. We were passing balls around them from the start which meant that none of them would risk being out of position; mesmerising.

And, where did RatBoy go in the second half? Hardly heard a word out of him until he had to give the MotM to Dave.

Even when we are not 100% we are far better than anyone else in this league.

Hopefully he went for a piss and a load of City fans spent a few minutes flushing his ugly mug down the bogs

I’ve said it numerous times before, he’s fast and strong but he’s not a footballer I’m my book.
Needs to work on his passing. It’s atrocious.

Said the same the other week and got slated for it. He can run all day but how many passes does he misplace that leave us facing a counter attack. Otamendi must wish he could give two or three of his bookings over to Walker who put him in the position of having to commit a foul.

Conte says he’s not so stupid as to play open against City and lose 3 or 4 nil. Biggest compliment he could pay City. Other teams, even top teams, are frightened of us.

I did throw the Dippers in. The most they can get is 87 points, which is what we will have with here more wins.

Goal difference is enough by a mile.

its debatable. his foot was fully extended, studs up, and high.

It belongs more to BS realm than debatable's, Phips.
Saw 3 replays nothing more than a professional faul: Zinch made sure his investment on a yellow card paid off but CLEARLY TOOK also cared not to cause physical harm.

youve seen reds given for that. its not about contact made or intent. i thought i remember something like: studs up, high, leg extended = red as of 2 seasons ago or something.


There’s absolutely no rule against studs up Phips.


To be fair, Sky make the rules, and that was their interpretation a couple of seasons back.

5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City
