If City win, he's already told us all several times that would happen as we are "far more advanced and ready" to win the title. His squad, apparently, aren't ready yet. So if Chelsea pull of a win, it goes from being 'Chelsea beat City' to 'Chelsea secure one of the most groundbreaking, unthinkable results in football history'.
It's a clever trick and our Mancio used it a couple of times of course.
HOWEVER, what I'd like to know is how Maureen can justify saying Chelsea aren't ready. Look through their squad - experienced pro's with years and yearsof success (Terry/Cech/Cole/Lampard/Eto'o), some of the most exciting young players in the world (Hazard/Oscar) all complemented by an incredible deep squad of internationals. All of this managed by a man who's won more trophies than I've had hot dinners. So, in suggesting that Chelsea aren't ready, is he playing clever mind games, or is he genuinely fucking terrified that we have his number?
He is scared that we are going to fuck them up & he is scared they are going to finish 3rd or even 4th, which Rafa Benitez would have managed with that squad. If he keeps telling everyone Chelsea aren't good enough then they finish 3rd or 4th, he has an excuse , plus it's 'not fair' because City exist. If he wins it, he can hail himself as being another Ferguson; winning it with an average team above 'moneybags' City, bringing through their own youngsters like Hazard & Oscar.
He is a self promoting arsewipe.
