Chelsea (H) - Sun 4th Jan, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Need a win here, absolutely not a loss.

7 points is hard to overturn, especially the way Arsenal are going and the risk of the gap getting even bigger, then we can forget about winning the league if that happens. We're not quite good enough right now to overturn a lead nearing 10 points.

A loss today would be huge blow, as much as our supporters might wanna deny the reality

I saw that. They really can’t help themselves can they? If the Liverpool Leeds game is anything to go by this game could be one of the worst of the season.

Met Office has just updated a weather warning. It’s 10.10am and there’s light snow falling right now just outside Wigan.

I remember that game against Everton that was on TV. Should have been called off as the surrounding roads were deadly and it was about minus 8! TV of course won the day and we lost to make it worse!

Unpredictable game with Maresca gone. Caicedo out means we just need to put up with Fernandez attempting murder today.

Fucking remember that game. Travelled up from near Southampton for it. Bloody awful journey on the roads and it was a shite game.

Ok, what should everyone do then?

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

It’s absolutely freezing and just started snowing. I’m also full of a cold. Can’t wait to attend the game later!

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Next two games are must wins, Arsenal and Villa seem to have their mojo back, so we can’t afford to drop many points from now on

Lol, yep ...... I'd like to know who it really matters to, aside from fans of those two clubs.

Thats strange, I watched this very game last night. I love watching games that I don't know the score of because I can cheer the goals like its live :) That really was typical City though. How Chelsea won that I'll never know. All City on a mud/snow slutch pitch but they hit us with 2 counters after showing fuck all. Some things never change. Back to today, just need a win, any win. I'd be tempted to leave Nico O out because the last few games he's looked gassed,but how does Pep shuffle the pack?

It was a great game of Football.
Typical City tho.
We should put things right today ; )

 

[Eaststander1]

Yep, light snow is falling near the Etihad now ....

 

[St.Pauli support]

Snowflakes!! ;)

Ok, what should everyone do then?

Put your shorts and shades on and get outside The Townley for pre match beers. That's what I'm doing. Sod the Met Office....

 

[Dialog]

This game might get called off!

Fucking 5:30pm in the middle of winter just for the twats sitting at home in the warmth.

They really do not give a shit about the match going fans.

 

[Tarzan41]

This game might get called off!

Hopefully not before I leave home

Champions:

11/12 - 8 points behind rags with 6 games to go
18/19 - 7 points behind Liverpool before the epic 2-1 win in early January
22/23 - 8 points behind Arsenal in middle of January

(all above after same number of games played)

Of course a loss today would be a huge blow. Not impossible though.
