The irony in Damocles saying some don't have a winning mentality!
Pidge once again slipping into rag mode. Dismissing City fans but slipping in the United references.

You're not getting my point are you?
He's stating that we're the end product (finished article) yet Pellers has only been at City the same time as he's been at Chelsea, how does that work?
He thinks Chelsea is still work in progress, if that's the case, so are we?
I get your point, but I see it as great mind game rhetoric from Mourinho. Does he mean City have a long way to go, or actually his own Chelsea team?
Is it a jibe at his opponents, or a mitigating statement for the team he's still building? Is he critiquing us or motivating them?
He's played the media perfectly there.

Think yours are brass and not toffee mate
Just a bit naffed off with some people ATM.
We are in the middle of arguably the best run this club has ever had , playing the best attacking football we have all ever seen, have the best home record of any team in Europe yet we still fookin whine.
Why ?
Of course we can beat Chelsea at home, but with Barca coming to ours just 2/3 days later surely it would have been easier on our squad if we had drawn say Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton at home instead?

It's Barca Tuesday isn't it>?Lavinda Past said:Ducado said:Didsbury Dave said:How on earth is it a great draw? It could only be worse if it was away.
Scunthorpe home is a great draw, not bloody Chelsea.
It's subjective as fans this the type of game we want to see
Absolutely right. Chelsea Saturday, Barcelona Wednesday, Stoke City Saturday. It doesn't get any better than that (apart from Stoke that is).

Jose Mourinho played Barcelona away with Real Madrid in the semi-finals 2nd leg of Copa Del Rey last season, score 2-2 from first leg and with the 2nd leg vs Manchester United in Champions League 2 days later.
Played a completely 2nd string side, and still won both matches. I'd rather Pellers copy his strategy rather than send our first team out to run on empty vs Barcelona (the bigger of the two matches). The worst that happens is we get knocked out of the FA Cup, which would be understandable in the circumstances.
WTF will Chelsea rest players?
They play their league game on the Tuesday (we are on Wednesday) and they don't have chmpions league the following week.
