The fact is that Chelsea played another game without their two best players this season - Costa and Fabgregas. Them grinding the win like this does not install much confidence.

Only hope is that they were shit around Champions League games in recent seasons. If they show that kind of weakness again than we have a chance. Otherwise, 7 points is lot for a Mourinho's team, he knows how to play for result. Hopefully they'll repeat it this year as he doesn't change his team a lot.

They are due a few injuries as well. Not meaning to wish any player unwell like, but they are due a few.
What ever that Maureen hyena is feeding is working like wonders. Hope the magic potion is filled with piss soon.

This late Chelsea goal broke my heart. Such win at Stoke paired with Chelsea losing 2 points could make us fly :(

And Willian from all people in 89th minute. Bollocks.
Probably the same as Chelsea fans felt when we got the later leveller on saturday.

Similar though this goal made more damage to us than Milner's goal did to them.

Ah well, it ruined my evening but can't change it now...
Christ; I hope you weren't near any sharp implements in the 90's then.

What people are failing to understand is this - we are totally reliant on Chelsea dropping lots of points. Their winner today was devastating, because even if we win every game they still have to lose 3 games. Where are they going to drop points? I just can't see it.

Assuming we only drop 5 more til the end of the season, that means they will have to drop 12 points. There is fucking no chance of that happening as they are not gung-ho like Liverpool were last season. They are cautious and will grind out points.

I HATE having to rely on wankers like Everton to pull out a result and then they fuck it up in the last minute. At least when it's City you know we've got the quality to win.

Sometimes we have to take the bigger picture into account. We may not win the league this season and if we don't then we hold up our hands and say well done to Chelsea. They are nothing if not resilient. We do not have a right to win league titles. We have dropped 12 points at home this season already, ten and seven more than we did in our title winning seasons. For me that is the reason we won't win it this year but at least we have a bit of hope still after tonight.

Tonight's win was absolutely vital for us though, make no mistake about that. Had we lost tonight we would have been two points in front of the rags with a load of other sides breathing down our necks. We would have been entering our sixth game against Newcastle without a win with Liverpool to follow. I was looking at a team on Saturday who looked nervous, lacking in ideas and frankly who maybe did not have the hunger that I would expect. Tonight has at least restored our rightful position with a nice gap in second and had reassured me that this group of players has got hunger. the CL money next season is huge and we must ensure we are top 3. That is target number one. If in 5/6 weeks we are still in with a sniff then who knows. If we can beat Newcastle with the same flair then we go into the. Barca game with some hope. Before tonight we had none for me.

We are not without problems. Hart almost gifted them two goals, Kompany is nowhere near his best, Fernandinho is sloppy in his passing at times and Zabaleta is looking like a player who may be coming to the end of his stint as nailed on right back. He has been below par all season and needs dropping now for a few games. Pellegrini has some big decisions to make.

Good win tonight and more importantly kun and silva looked back to their best.

Too little too late City.
Fuck off ragboy.

Rag.
 
Second half the City we know and love.

Three unbelievable goals, all of them goal of the month contenders.

Happy, relieved, and all of those things.
 
A relief more than anything. Don't give a fuck what Chelsea do, they are not my concern, only city results. Important for kun to get back on the scoresheet. Still far to edgy at the back and I'm including hart in that. Defence needs to be sorted pronto. We get that right and we'll give it a real rattle for sure. Newcastle no push overs at the moment so we're gonna have to play a strong team as we really need to put a run of wins together.

I'm waiting you to moan and I'll be all over you then :D
