Isn't that what the Arse fellahs 'n fans were thinking a few weeks ago? It's nice to see but even six points can vanish if yer misfiring! Just ask CFC lasses.

Difference is 22 WSL games, to 38 PL games, we're near half way (12 to play) and 6 clear, and with superior GD.

Following that disgrace of a comment regarding the penalty, "...they probably deserve it", for us, after Bunny's second. She actually said that. "Probably". PROBABLY? Seriously?

75% possession, 8+11=19 shots, 12 corners. 8-10 chances, if I have counted well (and I think I have), most of them sitters. The home team, having parked the bus for 90'+ minutes (no problem with that, it's their right to play however they want), had 1 shot (off) -and their manager was satisfied, by the way...

"Probably" though. Yeap. Who the fuck is that woman?

It did, in my defence iv done this 2 or 3 times this season and City women have always scored about 5 mins later, and it happened again today. :)

I'm claiming an assist from yesterday with Diaz's goal. Five mins before he scored I said to my neighbour indicating pretty much the spot from which Ruben unleashed, according to Jonathon ScreechArse, his heavily deflected goal that we used to score from that distance since Mahrez went.

And, of course, I told the eleven on the pitch today from the comfort of my lounge that they should have scored an hour ago!
 
After the chances spurned in the first half I was thinking it was going to be one of those days. Pleased for Bunny, she didn't get despondent but kept on going and ended up with 2 goals and an assist. Great to see Kerolin back in action too.
Only just seen the Everton result - incredible result for them and it is good news for us too.
Not to shabby a weekend. Really hope we grab our chance now and push on.
 
Chelsea fucking battered Everton, hit the woodwork 5 times! Keeper Brosnan, made 4 world class saves including snaffling one that looked very close to being over the line after a ricochet off a toffee player. Just one of those days for them where Everton caught them in transition once and scored, bit like they did to us, but they couldn't keep us out. But hey I'm here for it!
Thought we were having a similar day in front of goal following that first half. Bunny should have had 3 or 4 and Viv a couple in that 1st half alone. The stats say they had a shot off target but I don't remember it.

Thought they were diabolical considering they were at home, offered nothing but a blanket defensive low block and crowded the penalty area just hoofing it up the field and giving up posession for 90+ minutes. We completely outclassed them. Defensively dogged is the best they could be described as. Whilst we were prolifferately profligate. (Who doesn't like a bit of alliteration)

They ran out of legs and out of luck with 20 minutes to go after Kerolin came on and ran them ragged. Her and Beney are formidable when the fullbacks have been chasing Hempo and Auba up and down for most of the game. Skinned their fullbacks over and over again. Kerolin denied a certain penalty as well, fucking abysmal refereeing.

Deserved victory and probably should have been 7 or 8. Bunny should have had 5 at least. Still, 6 points clear and next couple against lowly opposition with the challengers around us having tough European games midweek. We should be targetting domestic silverware this year and the League definitely looks possible. 10 years since Steph and Co won it last. I'm excited for the girls this year and enjoy watching them although they frustrated me with their poor finishing for long spells today considering Leicester were so godawful.

On to Villa next.

They say the league table doesn't lie... but on that performance Leicester were by some distance the worst team we've played all season. It's very difficult when only one team wants to play.

In terms of Chelsea, apparently only 1 of their chances was considered "big". By comparison, we had the same number of total shots yesterday (30), but 9 were deemed "big" (and 7 of them duly missed:))

Bunny has now missed twice as many big chances (14) as anybody else in the league. If she could get her conversion rate up to the last 2 seasons, who knows where we would be?
 
Their manager said 3 nil flattered us in his post match deliberations. I beg to fucking differ and so do the stats.

Yeah, I only caught the post match interviews last evening, and I couldn't believe he said that. xG may not tell the whole story, but creating 9 big chances and missing 7 of them does. As the song goes, "it should have been ten..."
