Chelsea (A) - Sun 18th Aug, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show 'em lads. show 'em all. Especially the Chelsea Pensioner lot, let them run around and get some heat inside them because they won't be getting warm in the winter!!
Especially the know nowt, think even less, media types who just witter on about some number or other. Be quiet you silly little people.
Very Especially the Specsavers needing whistle blowing little jerks in that PGMOL group. Just be fair for a change.

Today is a restrained posting while I give the three groups (obviously the top one will be different each week) time to show that they can be fair and equitable and treat all teams the same......... oh hang on whilst I stop laughing.....

Look you lot in those three groups...do you not know who we are?
We are (get ready @jimharri) MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.
And don't you forget it, you mealy mouthed, whiffle whaffle load of shitake mushrooms. :-)


PEP, get John Boy on very quickly....whoops sorry get Mr Stones on very quickly. :-) ;-)

That bench would top the Championship (even two men down).

The Championship?

It would finish top 4 in the PL with a bit of luck

I think that is pushing it. ;-)

Luckily Kovacic has a lot of minutes in his legs already and Bernardo runs more than 95% of the players in the league.

Bad phrasing from me, work in the sense of being functional, I've no doubt they'll run hard.

Just seen the team.

Get in!

And the bench is looking good as well.

With Rodders to come back.

Dreading this game tbh. Will be like a basketball match.

Although I’m hoping our struggles last season were due to Poch’s tactics - which have tended to be a struggle for Pep in the past - and not Chelsea themselves.

Rico up against nkuku.
He could have a long afternoon.

As long as he concentrates in the 10 mins out of the 90 they have the ball he will be fine.

Loving it!!!

 

[burning blue soul]

Wow. What a bench!!

I'm going for the bench cost being discussed within 2 minutes of the programme starting.

 

[Vienna_70]

Like that team, Pep adapting his tactics to give the opposition different problems.

I expect to see Rico in midfield a lot.
