Keep up the excellent work PBL; so far so good.

If this all works out to City's advantage tonight, you may have use your 'gambling skill' in key games in the future, although your bank account may suffer......... ;)

We could start a collection.


Mmmm....I hadn't thought this through properly PD.

If we started a collection, PBL's punting skills might suddenly flourish with greater experience and he could end up making a profit, which would then be to City's detriment.

I think I'd better put the dunce's cap on and go stand in the corner :oops: :oops:


I've bet against us a few times, always hope to lose but hey.

The next round of League games is going to be interesting.

I still don't think Chelsea will have too much trouble overturning Leicester, even in their own back yard, but the Scum are at home to Liverpuddle, Arsenal are away to Swansea with their new manager and all that might entail, whilst Spurs are at home to West Brom which should be a fairly easy win for them.

Puts even more pressure onto our away game at Everton, for diverse reasons.

But it's just one game week mate. I think our issue will be when we hit our CL games as the games around there make it very difficult. But that's when the top teams rise.

Just a thought about tonight's game, but how tight was the marking for the two Spurs goals ??

Alli seemed to have loads of room and time, especially for the second and the crosses for both of them didn't look as though they were devastatingly unplayable for the defence.

I wonder if David Luiz will hold his hands up and admit any culpability for any slackness ??

Apologies Slim; I completely overlooked this and, upon re-reading, it was a nicely wry comment. Well done to you.

Phew, another reason why I should put on the dunce's cap and go and stand in the corner.

The right side of Chelsea's defense is def where teams should attack. Moses at RB, Cesar as RCB, and Luiz at CB.
No surprise thats where both of Alli's goals came from

Said the same to the Missus. Also noticed Tyler just had to mention that Spurs beat us too.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

What is this? They told us that Chelsea could not be beaten and would win every game. They told us the league was already won and the trophy should be handed over.

I've done that too but mostly in cup games when we'being put out a weakened as side the odds should've been adjusted considerably but the boolia here didn't do that which offered players some ridiculous over odds.
Always glad to lose those in case we happen to win tho

Or you could look at it another way, the space was created on the other side to allow time for Eriksen to pick out crosses. From what I've seen of Chelsea that Asspilletc has been one of their better performers prior to last night.

Very thin lines between being amazing and having a crisis isn't it?

If Anthony rag Taylor was not corrupt, we'd be one point behind chelsea right now.

The club in crisis only one single point behind the amazing club.

Funny old game this propaganda.

Very true, throw in the missed pens v Everton and the mess against Boro and for a team in crisis we are quite near the top. But hey-ho let them crème themselves over Spurs being back in the race while the team below them on goal difference are finished, the manager is cracking up and the fans are on the brink of mutiny. Just aswell we have hit that 40 point mark or the press would have you believe we need to start looking over our shoulders.

Courtois, 4 shots on target against Chelsea in their last two games, 4 goals conceded, fucking liability.

I noticed the commentator made an excuse for his shitness on that goal that is never accorded to Bravo.

Imagine the scenes if Bravo had done what he did last night for that goal. He pretty much turned sideways and looked like a lamppost. Not sure why he didn't do a star fish seeing as he's about 8ft tall.
