Chelsea (H) Post Match Thread

25 points ahead of Chelsea with 27 points left to play for. They must be close to our record as the shortest lasting epl holders?

As easy as it gets. We controlled the game but they're a v good side defensively and it was always going to be tough to break them down.

Never ever thought they'd get back into it once Bernardo scored.

Interesting comments from Neville during the game about going toe to toe with Europe’s best saying teams playing negatively against us in the premier league will effect us when we play latter stages of champs league as they won’t play like that,found it strange ..

We give the ball away far too much, against Barca/real/Bayern I can see us getting punished. Walker is one of my favourite players but he gives the ball away a lot.

Games against those clubs would be very different. Against Chelsea, we had so much possession that when we did lose the ball it was more noticeable. Their lack of ambition seemed almost to be the cause of any sloppiness on our part.

I would've thought we wouldn't want teams to play like that. He tries to find problems for us, where there are none.
He's hoping.

He can't get over the fact we have taken over as the best team in England and will look at any excuse to put us down. Hes probably at home now wrapped up in his Bryan Robson duvet crying his eyes out

Yeah agree he added a bit more but my grandson distracted me for a moment,some shit about the rags doing it from 99 to early 2000’s,I think Chelsea playing like that says more about how frightened teams are now of taking a hammering or trying to counter us by soaking up things sitting deep then hitting us but they didn’t really pull that off correctly..

Hate to say it but I agree with you. Yes you can tell its killing him to see City like this. Yes he is rag through and through but I have got a lot of time for the twat and he is one of the best pundits around. Would be a great bloke to talk football with.

Neville is an astute and articulate guy - the shop steward for the players in his time. Now a bona fide property developer up to his neck in the planning system and not resting on the fortune he earned in his career. Fair minded - doesn't pretend Manure are superior to us, unlike his little brother. Head and shoulders above the other Sky, BT and MOTD pundits. The fact that he played for Manure doesn't affect that. With so many ex Manure and Liverpool pundits, it's clear many of 'em can't separate MUTV/LFCTV from the supposedly impartial role they have on Sky, BT and the BBC.

Can't stand him. That fucker Gallagher went down in my estimation when he sat discussing football with him. The little shit gibbon hates us, he tries to hide it, but the mask is slipping. I've always known him for what he is - a k.unt.

One of the many highlights of last Sundays events was listening to him ripping Arsenal a new one because he was furious City were strolling it. Not because Arsenal were shit. We all know had it been the rags only because of the brilliance of the swamp dwellers would it have been that caused Arsenals demise. Wonderful entertainment and I look forward to many season of him contributing greatly to my enjoyment of this unreal time being a City fan.
