Chelsea (a) pre-match thread 25/06/2020 8.15pm ko

If I am honest, I don’t care about the permutations and whether setting up Liverpool to potentially win it by beating us at the Etihad should be avoided

Just smash these fuckers

with Phil getting the hat trick he deserved on Tuesday

I’m sure they would. Do the players come out together at The Etihad, I’m not sure due to COVID-19. I noticed at Everton and a few others they did not.

At the moment, each team comes out separately, goodness knows why as a few minutes later they are amongst each other

I hope we’re properly in the mood this evening, if not it will be a long night. Chelsea set up very well against us in December and if it wasn’t for a lucky break for KDB’s goal it could’ve been a very difficult evening.

I really don’t want to hand Liverpool the title tonight. It would be really nice to see us finish the season on a charge. We have struggled to put together any meaningful sequence of wins so it would be good to start now.

Unfortunately Chelsea need the points more than we do so I can see them getting something out of the match tonight.

I just dont understand how any blue cannot want City to win every game we play in.
I totally understand all the side issues regarding the dippers,scum,upcoming cup games etc,but once that first whistle blows all i have ever wanted is City to win !

Exactly

This post has not aged well :(

It's the hope that kills ;-)

Seems to have DRAW written all over it. Liverpool win the League while sitting at home, City give them an Honour Guard at our place, and the game has nothing much riding on it and both teams can rotate for more important games ahead.

Just a thought...

Prefer us to smash Chelsea, beat Pool at our place, and make them win it themselves behind closed doors.

Then, of course, we get to watch the Scousers break SD in the streets and the Police show up...with the beers and flares!!!

Getting the old gear out, from when they last won the league ?

Beat Chelsea then beat Liverpool then take it from there.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I may be in the minority but I think we can beat Chelsea and Newcastle and Liverpool, so that's what we should do.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Guard of honour is not a requirement surely?

Of course it’s not a requirement, but we are grown ups, and it would be utterly fucking pathetic to not do it. Beat Chelsea and we don’t have to contemplate it

Can see a set up similar to the one at the toilet in the LC with Bernie in the false nine, personally I’d rest Kev Jesus Raz Eric Ferna & KW with a view to giving most of them 15-20 mins at the death when we are hopefully still in the game. Go big in the cup & win it early to reduce Ferna & Eric’s minutes, then smash the dippers!
