Ah ok got you

Doesn't the home strip change every 2 yrs? Thought this current strip was only in its first year.

Those mugs in the ground, total gutted astonishment hahahah f*** off

A complete tanned idiot, Chelsea wanker he is but it was still interesting to hear what he said about us last night.

Having watched us last night said he thought that if we kept that squad together and added in key areas he thought we'd become a "real force" next season to challenge. Was pretty blown away by the midfield power, Colo at the back and the attacking threat on the break. Said it was the first time in a while he'd seen Chelsea completely and utterly out muscled in midfield. He said he thought City will be facing a far greater challenge on sunday than the one they faced on monday just gone - title far from over. Question is how far can this lot go? (dreaded transfer window pending)

He's a deadly poacher and capable of outrageous goals like last night. What are the odds on a super bid coming in this summer?

I'd love to be proved wrong but I can only see a standard defeat here. 2-0 or 3-1

When the whole team is playing well the weak links aren't exposed. When things aren't going our way and we're under the cosh however good professionals they are Simpson and Williamson aren't good enough individually. A solid right back and Saylor/new centre half and I'd say the likelyhood of these capitulations will ease. Most of the team were at fault yesterday but the weak links are fairly obvious.

I think to qualify we needed to win that one really especially given Arsenal drew. It'll take some massive games going our way and some absolutely unbelievable performances in the next 3 games and especially the next two. Great season, Europa league next season and I'll take that at this point

dear oh dear

Hvae they spoken about our game on soccer saturday?

Having seen Bayern last night, I think they will give Chelsea a better game in the final than Real. Strong side and mentally very tough.

Have the players to hurt them, they leave themselves pretty open at times. Tough match though. Win this and Spurs would be 6 points behind going into their sunday match against Blackburn at home.

Spurs look shot to pieces. Pressure is really on them now and Blackburn won today so will go to the Lane in full confidence. Really getting interesting now

We have all the big guns ready and raring to go for this and ultimately Stoke don't have a huge amount to play for. Tough match but over 90 mins and with the offensive threats we have we should be able to put them away. You know what you're going to get, shirt pulling, fouls, long throws into the box. Usual shite. They'll be a danger on free kicks and corners as always however. Lets be honest who on earth would pay for a season ticket to watch a side like Stoke play? We're hardly Barcelona but atleast we try and play. Whats worse is that Stoke fans seem to revel in this "nobody likes us or the way we play" image.

I've really liked the look of him when he's come on, tidy little player, has good speed and close control, plus he can defend. Will be a real asset to the squad.

Will be an interesting day with QPR at home to Spurs and Arsenal at home to Chelsea. Tough match against Stoke but we have the players to turn these cloggers over just as we did at theirs. After a good rest should come out of the blocks hard against these bastards.

He looks much better in this system we're playing and its good to see him further forward influencing play.

4-3-3 is working and a sharper, well rested Ba will get his chances, score goals and all this will probably be forgotten.

Pardew will no doubt sit down and talk to him about it. Thing is worse case scenario and he throws all his toys out the pram and doesn't look at it from the team point of view, he'll be moved on and replaced or will push for a move with the same result. I don't think it'll come to that but it'll be worked out either way. No player is bigger than the club

He might be pissed off but to me he just looks completely knackered and off the pace. This break has come at an ideal time for him, both physically and mentally. He needs to come back sharp, roll his socks up and give everything for a final push because we'll need him and it could be a truly memorable finish....and I think he will

Tiote is a tough player, a destroyer who plays hard. Cattermole is a thug who goes out to hurt people and that overshadows any qualities the lad might have. Scum bag, end of

Yep can really see him causing Bolton all sorts of problems.

Big effort here then a we have a good rest before the Stoke game. Arsenal also play Chelsea the same day as the Stoke game.

Sure he's disappointed at not being amongst the goals, what striker wouldn't be? But we're 5th in the league, pushing for europe and his good mate is doing really well. Total overplayed bollocks by sky and that c*** Coleman. For me a complete non-issue at the moment, that system will still provide him with chances in a more open game and he'll probably score against Bolton on monday anyway.
