Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

You have to be careful what you wish for sometimes because City brought in new boss Roberto Mancini when they sacked Mark Hughes but the Italian has made no difference. It is a worrying time for City and to compound things they don't look threatening in front of goal.
To quote Mr Bellamy
"nothing surprises me about that guy. Everyone in football knows what he's like".
It may be my last year as a season ticket holder as it just doesn't seem the same with so few English and local players (but I said that last year)

It will be interesting to see what the twat says about us on MotD. No doubt he will be pissed off that we won;t be shown during the closing credits as usual!

For once I'm really looking forward to MotD! Agree, will be very interesting, bet they spend most of the post-match discussion talking about what it means for the Rags.

HIM AND MERSON REALLY OUGHT TO HIDE UNDER A ROCK AS IM NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS MORE FUCKING STUPID THAN THE OTHER WHEN IT COMES TO ANALISING TEAMS AND PREDICTIONS.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

This or they will say it was the red cards that helped us.

Yeah, think the papers will focus on that too. Skytext had some bollocks headline along the lines of "City beat 9-man Chelsea". But they were well beaten already at 3-1 when they got the first red.

The red cards made no difference but them having no goalkeeper certainly helped.After they scores I suspect most City fans were wondering what the hell as going on as we had show no desire to attack at all. Typical Tevez work woke us up and from there we played really well.
That's what I expect to be said on MotD but I expect emphasis will be out on how out of sorts and tired Chelsea were.

This is the first time in ages that I've missed Lawro's predictions. I'm really sorry.
What did he predict ?
Anyway wgaf . we won.

mr merson predicted
People will talk about John Terry and Wayne Bridge in the build-up to this match, but at the end of the day this is a game of football.
Put it this way, you're not going to see them fighting each other on the half-way line. It might be a bit more awkward if it was a centre-forward against a centre-half, but Bridge and Terry will probably only come into contact at corners.
I do think all the controversy is affecting Terry. I saw him struggle against Everton, he got away with two massive mistakes against Wolves and he was all over the place against Inter. There's obviously a lot going on in his head.Paul Merson
I haven't seen Bridge lately, but I was very, very, very surprised to hear him give up on England. I know he's going through a lot of pain at the moment but time's a healer and it could all move on in two or three months. This decision means he might miss out on winning the World Cup with England.
Beyond that sideshow, this is a massive game for Manchester City. They've gone out of the FA Cup and fighting for fourth place is all they've got left now.
But they've only won one of their last 11 away games - plus the FA Cup loss at Stoke - and that's shocking form. If I'm honest, I don't think this team is that great.
Many years ago Blackburn bought the league by spending loads of money on the best players, but you can't do that now. There's a lot of strong clubs and City will need time to get a team in place. I think it will be difficult for them to get in the top four so quickly.
And I don't see them getting anything out of a much better Chelsea team who are very strong at home.
Ashley Cole and Petr Cech will be missed and I remember they blew the league a couple of years ago when Cech and Terry got injured. Chelsea's squad is bigger and stronger than anybody's, but certain individuals will make a difference. Cech is probably worth four points between now and the end of the season.
I still reckon they'll be too strong on Saturday though and City will slip a little further behind in that race for fourth.
PAUL'S PREDICTION
Home win - If you've got an away record like City have then you're always going to be up against it at Stamford Bridge. They probably need to sit back, but I can't see Chelsea failing to score and I think the home team will win comfortably. I'll go for 3-0.
MERSON'S MAGIC MAN
Didier Drogba - He's a big player and even though he didn't do a lot against Inter Milan on Wednesday night I expect him to raise his game here. He's been flying in the Premier League and should cause City lots of problems.
