Chelsea (H) - Sat 25th Jan, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Protein Junkie]

We could end up eighth if we lose this and VIlla win tomorrow !!

We will end up in the Top Four if we win today.

Quite like the side but would have started Savinho.

He gave Cucurella the run around at Stamford Bridge. I'd say Cucurella was happy to see Savinho starting on the bench.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just seen that John Brooks is the ref today. He was the ref for the Spurs defeat. Despite him booking Bissouma (could have been a straight Red) in the first minute he was completely disproportionate in the application of the LOTG. Spurs got away with loads of snide stuff and blatant fouls. Booked 5 City players for challenges he'd let Spurs players get away with.

Is it just me or does anyone else have that feeling of Khusanov becoming a fan favourite?

The head on him even makes me laugh, Not disrespecting the lad, He just has that head on him.

Only if every time he touches the ball something miraculous happens. City fans are so spoiled these days it's the only way he stands a chance of not getting booed out of the stadium much less ripped to shreds by the fickle happy clappers on this forum.

New signings going to give us impetus and legs today. 5-0

 

[maurizio]

I'm going to enjoy the game more thanks to the two new starters. Was pretty despondent on the way here, but whatever the result I've got something to get excited about. A couple of new fit players in the side can only be good.

Wish there was a 'dislike' emoji...

Just post the City logo.

Stefan Savic says hello!

Just in my sear headed we are doing a light show, atmosphere killed.

Even Google translate cannot solve this

This season is just an Annus Horribilis ..

Is that Bad Ass?

See the relevance for today but that could be any ref this season.

He said "There's no half time chips available again".

The mods need to do a better job

I get banned regularly for criticising the feral behaviour of dippers but mods seem reluctant to ban posters who are so obviously actual dippers and rags

I couldnt possibly mention the mods or i will be in trouble for the 100th time !

 

[PragueBlue]

I know it didn’t quite pan out how we wanted


But I remember a non English speaking 19
Year old Matija Nastasic slotting in on debut in the bernabeu and looking like a rolls Royce.

Let’s not write the kid of before we see him blues

I also remember Mangala looking fantastic on his debut. Funnily enough it was against Chelsea at home too ;-)

Let's hope he starts the same way and can maintain it throughout his time with us.

 

[homerdog]

There's not much to like this season.

You, in particular.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Maresca really has gone full Pep cosplay.

Apart from the club shop t shirt of course.

I’m just trying to figure out if you’re that Romanian spy and the above makes sense to your Russian handlers…

;)

 

[KS55]

Khusanov the difference? Can’t wait to see him in sky blue.

 

[noseve]

More hes trained 3 times and paired with no english. No he shouldnt untill he learns key phrases. Im not asking him to recite Shakespeare like, just the man on, left/right shoulder, drop, squeeze etc

Don't worry - I'm pretty sure that 'stop that bloke with the f***in' ball' is the same in any language...

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Still top of the league for light shows ! :-)
