Signed him and sent him back to St Ettiene for the remainder of the season. He'll join us properly in the summer. This probably spells the end of either Luiz or Terry (probably Terry) and most certainly means the end of Ash. Welcome to Chelsea FC Kurt Zouma.

It's not a coincidence. Now that United have imploded the glory hunters and little kids have all migrated across the city to the blue side of Manchester.

The BBC rarely publishes stuff that doesn't have a solid foundation. Looks like this is going ahead. This pretty much spells the end for either Luiz or Terry I fear, one of them will be off in the summer.

I'd love us to be the ones that beat City handsomely on their own turf, just cannot realistically seeing it happening.

That really needs to become a new footballing meme.

Without a doubt the most important game of the season thus far. Manchester City's home form is dangerous to say the least but I think we'll setup strong and keep them out. Toure is suspended for them for this game and there is a chance Aguero could be absent with a hamstring injury. Still, even when they're missing those two players they are extremely dangerous with players like Navas, Negredo, Nasri... the list just goes on. They have a lot more firepower up front than we do and we certainly cannot out-score them so conceding more than one is not an option. A draw would not be an utter disaster but we need all three points from this. My heart says we'll win this and make a statement for our title challenge, my head on the other hand says this will either be a close draw or they will overwhelm us.

Guys you know that people from Arsenal and City forums are watching this thread for meltdown quotes right? Cut it out. Monday is going to be the biggest game of the season.

To those saying "We did the same thing against Barca". We parked the bus against Barca because our captain had been sent off and we were away from home.

Manchester City are going to win the title. Been saying it all along.

West Ham parked the bus the entire game. Cowards.

That's a draw then. We f**ked up.

Stop f**king time wasting.

Believe.

Two strikers and three at the back. Throwing the kitchen sink at them.

So so so so annoying.

ARGHHHHHh

20-25 minutes to break them.

So damn frustrating.

Azpi's off. Wow, three at the back.

Willian needs to come off maybe.

This is the definition of parking the bus.

Wonder if City will put six past Spuds again for the hell of it.

What a shot.
