If Lampard stays then that just isn't right. He signed for New York, not City. How can it be right for one football club to control what another football club does ? That isn't good for the game at all.

Pellegrini didn't even say he was staying in his interview, he said it's not something to talk about in this moment.

It is ridiculous this Lampard thing.

f**k me, we are losing the plot if we're becoming concerned over soldado after one goal in about 50 appearances!

I didn't say he did, i was just saying IF he stayed.

3-0 away to Southampton, impressive. I'm still fairly satisified with our 0-0 away to Sunderland yesterday but December is going to be huge what with the amount of games & the weather - hoping our Spaniards & Brazilians can 'do' it.

Him staying beyond the loan period is a disgrace with the fact he signed for New York but it is what it is. No point losing sleep about it, we just need to concentrate on what we do.

I thought I heard him say it was a short term loan?

Wouldnt have been that upset with Lampard playing for City if he hadnt gone on and on about how he would never play for another English club, only to sign for a title rival at the first chance he got. That pissed me off

Probably the statement I agree with most on the matter...we will never know for sure whether it was chelsea or lamps' decision to move on, but he opted for the cash of New York and ended up at our main rivals instead...don't have a problem with him playing elsewhere, but his comments about not playing for another pl club just leaves a bit of a sour taste...still not worth getting in a hissyfit fit...we are playing great stuff ourselves and I'm not sure how much footy lamps would have got this season if he'd stayed anyway

Great win today, Nice to see we can win even when Aguero has an off day, I'm still not raising my expectations too much, We have to play the Bayern/Barca/Real Madrid dream team away on Wednesday, Woops I mean Sunderland, They have beaten us for 5 or 6 consecutive years up there and I cant remember us scoring a single goal, Every year we go up there I think this year will be different but nothing changes, and with evidence yesterday it won't get any easier, If we win there then I can believe again.

 

One last thing, How quick are Spurs playing? It looks like finally Pochettino's pressing, high intensity style of play is rubbing off, Another thing, How intense is the Chelsea/Spurs rivalry? Is it Chelsea v Arsenal/QPR-esque or is it slightly less intense? Only reason I ask is, You boys have Newcastle away following this game and an intense game could make the Newcastle game interesting, Especially since it's a 12.45 kick off.

I'm not saying you did but that other guy did

Ok, fair enough

Well that's how it is, he made the decision, he gets to live with the benefits and the consequences, but I doubt the consequences will even bother him too much, he's still getting paid good money and he is playing a lot and scoring goals.

 

So people do have to accept that making a decision such as moving to a rival club will not go well with some fans, he is going to have some fans that are very disappointed in him such as myself but its best not going into that again but I'm glad that there is fans that still love him. It would probably be a bit sh*t if everyone hated him over that. Also the reception he got at the Etihad was just unbelievable even after he scored, I didn't even know that sort of thing existed in British football, everyone just seems to be so bitter and delusional these days, just look at those annoying f**king Sunderland fans yesterday for example.

The analogy I can give about Lampard is this.

It's like dumping a girl, who'd always told you, you were special, nothing like the rest of your mates.

Then a couple of weeks later you see her out with one of your mates!

It doesn't change the time you had together, but it makes you wonder about what they'd said!

You will beat Sunderland. They will have nothing left in the tank. They put all they had in to getting the result yesterday.

Tbh I don't remember Lampard saying he wouldn't play for another English club

City aren't our mates... It's more like the same situation but you dumping the girl even though she would want to stay with you then getting annoyed because she has moved on.

Lampard said on a few occasions he couldn't see himself playing for another premier league club.

City put in a Champions performance today, they are not going to give up their title without a fight. Compared with some of our away performances last season yesterdays point v Sunderland is good, remember we had to travel for our CL match this week so not a disaster. KTF.

 

Bring on the unmentionables Wednesday night, 3 points required.

Lampard said on a few occasions he couldn't see himself playing for another premier league club.

 

And uncle 'Arry said himself on TalkSport that Lampard wouldn't join him at QPR because he couldn't play for another Premier League club.

Dortmund bottom of the Bundesliga...

Wow.

Yep. Food for thought for the Klopp fans. I know he's had to sell players but bottom is bottom.

Did anyone just see the flop by the Valencia defender vs Barcelona ?  :laugh2:

Barcelona are playing some of the worst football I've seen (by their standards) for a while. Messi being played out of position, but still able to create when he gets on the ball. No surprise that he may want to move tbh. Not sure how much longer barca board will continue with Enrique.

I wonder if this is why we're being linked with Messi.

looks like the refs are going to assist Barca getting some points - just saw Neymar clip his own heels & get awarded a FK - Valencia are playing pretty good - nice touches on the ball & Los Ches deserve something from this match

we'd be naive to think otherwise:
