Chelsea v City was the biggest game of the season so far and should have been first on irrespective of score etc

Just watched MOTD.
No replay or close up of VVD potential red, just “brilliant defending” but impossible to see if he got the ball.

No booking for dissent for Penandez after a clear foul he made, didnt even show Slab Head pulling down the Villa player after he headed it past him, clear foul and card but Dean waved it on, Slab Head gets away with so much.
Dean didn't give the penalty, was a penalty but guaranteed we dont get that from the assistant or “ not clear and obvious error”
Watkins was offside for the Villa goal, not sure how Var missed it but noticed Watkins does this on every corner. Leicester had 2 chalked off fir similar last week.
OGS moaning about crowding omg, irony of that lol. Must be on borrowed time.

I'm sorry you feel that way because some of our play as we dominated the first half, hardly giving Chelsea possession of the ball was outstanding, the press was up to Barca standard from a few years ago. If goals are the only criteria for a great performance Norwich should be on every week as they tend to get tonked.

I agree with you except that our brand of total total football is appreciated only by the football purists and most football fans aren't that by any stret h of the imagination. Some of them even support united.

I wanted us to make our dominance pay in the first half, what's wrong with that FFS?? Think back to Spurs, we dominated the first 20 mins or so in a similar manner but didn't score and ended up losing. Goals are rather important, you know.

We were well undercooked by way of prep v Spuds, Chelsea have the most stubborn and well organised defence probably in the world. We dominated them and fully deserved the win but I wouldn't have been completely unhappy with a draw. To me, the biggest factor was the performance and just like last season we've laid down a marker, let's see how the others respond. Those goal thingy's you talk about, we've scored plenty this season.

Yep, if it was Rags v Dippers in 7th and 8th it would still have been on first.

Champions v Champs league winners

3rd best viewing of the day.

4-0 to Chelsea and we all know what spot it would have occupied.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He was 100% convinced Chelsea were too good in every department and would win convincingly at 12pm on the radio this morning.

That was just his opinion. He can't really argue with the evidence to the contrary presented yesterday.

 

[lancs blue]

We dominated them and fully deserved the win but I wouldn't have been completely unhappy with a draw.

That's where we differ, after that level of dominance I'd have been disappointed with a 0-0.

MOTD2 did a nice piss take of The Fernandez penalty.
