As if this could ever happen 🙂 But, this is the Champion's League. You KNOW City will go all Spursy, it just a matter of whether it will be in the quarter-final or the semi. They'll blow one of them. My gut feeling is it will be the semi.

Keep the faith mate 🙂

A very reliable science, that astrology.

"As a general rule both Pisces and Aries people are squat and hairy, with a distinct, gamey odour and are dull of wit" A quote from the original astrological treatise of the Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa, translated from the Sumerian by Walcher of Malvern and critiqued by Thomas Aquinas as "that's bang on, that is!"

It was LEEDS!

I think too many people judge a player's entire contribution to a match on what the Sky/BT match director chooses to show us, and, as @just said, the view of the player on the ball in the middle of the pitch is vastly different to the view we get from above and in wide-screen. A forward player making any number of runs into space are of no benefit at all if the man on the ball is fronted up by a row of three or four opponents blocking his view. Also, a player in the centre of the field might see the run, but then has to judge whether their advanced teammate might or might not be offside, a defender might or might not be in a position to step across, the next-step game plan in their mind might be to pass/advance down the wings or any number of other variables that go through the mind every millisecond. Honestly, I sometimes think that some of you have never actually played the game. But I'm sure someone can provide a load of stats and youtubes to show me the error of my opinion.

Watched Coming 2 America at the weekend as someone I know had recommended it. What a pile of plop! The only amusing bits are when Eddy Murphy recreates his old barber shop guys from the first film. Other than that, it was embarrassing dross. I only kept going because I was convinced it couldn't be that bad all the way through. It was, dear reader, it was.

And that Makalele was just gash at the killer defence-splitting pass too. All he did was win the ball back and play it short. To be honest, I thought Kante played very well, and I didn't see any chances where he had brought the ball out and one or other of our forwards had mad a decent run for him to pick out. I did have to miss the last 20 minutes though, only had those on the radio, so I was relying on the Talksports twats to remind me how many inch-perfect passes to Werner Kante refused to make

🙂 I never said he wasn't. My gripe was with some google-twat teenager keeping on telling me he was at the level of prime Messi or C Ronaldo when nothing at all I had seen in a Chelsea shirt warranted that. I think I said at the time he might turn out to be THAT player, but hadn't so far, I also think we might have a bit of whistling in the dark at the moment. I thought he was outstanding against Everton, and very unlucky. I thought he had dropped a level or two against Leeds, and I don't quite see the justification of some of the more over the top praise for him this weekend. He was OK. No, he was better than OK, but fluffed his lines 2 or 3 times when it would have been easier to score. Look how we all mocked Maguire missing from 9 inches last week, and then Havertz puts a simple header very softly down onto the floor further away from the goal than his head.. I just hope he does attain the levels some claim he is at already, and that he's not a quite expensive 1 match in 4 star.

Liam, how dare you? That convincing, credible cockwomble most definitely isn't a spud, not at all, no way, never, ever, ever. Never

drblue! You snuck back in 🙂

Yep, that's the same old keyboard warrior threatening bollocks that all these sneaky spuds get round to as soon as they are fronted up. I think you're a clown come to wind people up, have googled some details about some things and are, as I said as soon as I spotted you in here, a sad little opposition twat. In all the run-ins with real Chelsea fans, I have never had or seen them threatening violence to each other. You got sussed every time you come in here pretending to be Chels, and you'll get sussed every time you crawl back in, because, when it comes down to it, you just ain't that bright.

I am very elaborate. And perceptive. And kind and generous to a fault. And extremely tolerant of wind-up merchants sneaking in here pretending to be Chelsea and posting bollocks.
