Well, the game last night went pretty much how my family expected it to. No blue tinted glasses over the eyes of this jaded Chelsea fan. I haven't read this thread in detail, but see that a few refer to us believing that Lamp's temporary appointment was a 'masterstroke'. I don't know a single...

Okay okay, relax with that shit. No need to pick on the less financially resourceful mid-table clubs.

You think? The global organisations/ countries that now commonly own football clubs play by whatever rules they can get away with. I don't think City are any more guilty than a number of other European clubs of 'stretching' the rules to whatever extent they feel they need to in order to push...

Regardless of the rights and wrongs, I'm not here to cause any stress. It has genuinely been a pleasure interacting with this forum in recent days, but I'm not about wind ups, even unintentionally, so I'm out. Big respect to all those here who have shown me a warm welcome. I really hope that...

Sorry, but that makes no sense whatsoever! Why would I post on the occasions you mention? Read what it says under my name. Jeez, you're not very bright are you mate? You and your girlfriends are just spoiling for a fight - directing your childish anger towards someone who has shown absolute...

Ironic. People are allowed opinions, but not me, right?! I'm cool to post as long as you agree, but the moment you don't then you hit the ejector seat rather than show a bit of mutual respect. Cool.

My sincere apologies if I've offended you (which I obviously have!). You are right that there shouldn't be a generalisation that applies to the City fanbase. There will of course be some fans at every club who get lost in the hype, but that shouldn't apply to the majority. Identity: I mean a...

You're 100% wrong mate. I went to the Leicester forum and congratulated them after we lost the FA Cup Final. They were buzzing, and rightly so. You're also wrong about me welcoming a City fan to a Chelsea forum - I'd welcome it as it's pretty boring when the flavour of the discussions are...

No smoke blowing here. Only a level of respect for fans of a club I feel my team have more in common with than any of the red clubs. Sometimes it's helpful to have an outside perspective, as long as it's considered and respectful. For me personally I'd much rather make some friends here rather...

Haha! You are not wrong mate :) A point well made.

Possibly the most insightful post I've read on any football forum. Gary Lineker has just left his BT job so there's a vacancy Alex. Maybe you should apply :) You are absolutely spot on regarding Chelsea's style and how that works against low block vs high press teams. We are far more effective...

Cheers Chris. It's good to know that my post came over to you exactly as I meant it to. I've spent a bit of time here post-CL, and can see that there's a huge number of good lads here. I think it's interesting to consider what makes for the mindset that I've seen here in some of the lads, ie...

I've got huge sympathy for how City fans are feeling atm, having gotten closer than ever but not quite made it. Chelsea fans have been there and felt that exact pain. Your time will come. City are now a huge club who will go again. What I don't have sympathy for is the OTT criticism of one of...

Spot on. Our defence put in a performance throughout worthy of a CL Final. City played well and came close many times. It was fine margins in the end, and ultimately decided by top class defending and effective counter-attacking that kept City from applying overwhelming pressure. I think most...

Cheers Mike. Absolutely no issue with anything you said or the terminology! I agree that these 'spooky stats' are often overused. City are clearly England's finest regardless of the CL outcome, and it's up to the rest to try to keep up with the sky blue juggernaut! Thinking about it, winning...

Thanks for the congrats Mike. As has been touched upon, Chelsea fans know very well the pain of losing a CL Final, and to a domestic rival. At a time like this maybe we should all spare a thought for Atletico Madrid - three finals so far and no win. Jeez, that's got to hurt. Item 3: I only...

The term 'world class' is often an overused phrase when rating players. KDB is certainly not just world class, but in the elite bracket of players who would walk into any team on the planet imho. Kante is another elite player imho, and could possibly be in the conversation of GOAT CDMs. We are...

The WTF moment was not confined to City ranks. I think the whole of football cried WTF in unison. If it had worked the Pep eulogies would have been written for months, and rightly so. As I said previously, it was a high risk strategy.

@blew and @jamesha My apologies lads. I haven't quite got the hang of the multiquote tool here. I am replying to you both with posts #4215 and #4216.

Haha, you are 100% correct! Didn't Bayern hit the woodwork 2-3 times?
