chris1ian on Twitter: "£501mill and a massive anti-climax. Missing Tevez's energy, and Balotelli's theatre."

From BBC, a Rag from Nottingham, Tool!

'We'll get the thoughts of Eidur Gudjonsen (spelling!) and Jamie Rednapp when we come back'. Nice to see it'll be a balanced opinion then!

Ha Andy Townsend and Ray Wilkins for me! so that'll be balanced

Two former Chelsea players; yeah, that'll be very balanced then.

Warren Barton is saying it should have been a penalty on Lescott.

It should have been. I'd have been scweaming and scweaming and stamping my feet if it was down the other end and hadn't been given.

For me, get Yaya off and put Milner in the middle and bring AJ on on the right. Yaya is knackered and Milner is inept as a winger. Has he EVER beaten a man? But he's decent in the middle and AJ will get balls across to Dzeko.

Christian Miles on FSC just described this game as "a meeting of the top five".

Warren Barton is saying it should have been a penalty on Lescott.

Well it should, shouldn't it. We got very lucky there.

Yep, if John Terry had handled like that in their area I would have been asking for a penalty. We got away with that.

Come on City!

Dont need to change things. Milner is working excellently with Richards.
Only worry is the ball over the top of Kolorov.
If we bring on AJ it could leave our full backs exposed. Play AJ in the hole, a direct swap for Yaya after 70 mins.

Fox Sports commentary is horrible.

Mute is very close.

I'm just used to City never getting a penalty because of a hand ball.

So City didnt brought own ball ... too bad, cause Chelsea didnt looked like sharing .(
