Is everyone done with the committing of harakiri? Good.

Were we bad? Yes, we were downright pitiful. But guess what? We have a long season ahead of us. We still have time to pull together, and to get this done. The sooner Jose lights a fire under their collective rear ends, the better.

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to watch the Cubs (hopefully) sweep the White Sox.

Rival fans will always gloat when we lose. They don't like us, we do not care.

I don't mind that they don't like us call us w**kers and give us stick thats all banter but ffs they are insecure petty little girls, always looking to do a Mou character assassination, win or lose, bitter c**ts, it's pathetic,  did we mention pale and greenie once did we call the manager a c**t, did we pelt our players cars with rocks, we are just here trying to figure out what went wrong and get behind our club, for supporters that get the most stick we are the most rational and level headed in the country, when I was a kid I just couldn't support Arsenal or Tottenam although most of my school pals did because the fans were such cheesy mugs, not much has changed if anything it got way worse 

I'll bet Arsenal fans are posting on their forum.

'Time to get there beers in and read The Shed End tonight'.

and enter every possible poll we find.  Just seen on SSN theyre even winning the one about who needs most spending by window closure.  FFS theyre embarassin

Not even interested but the best answer is for us to get some business done roll our sleeves up and dig ourselves out this f**king pit. Including Us

CITY 'ALWAYS' DOMINATE CHELSEA - PELLEGRINI

The Chilean head coach was eager to rub salt into Chelsea's wounds after the Blues' title tilt took an early season blip at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini said his side “always dominate” Chelsea when the two sides meet after sealing an emphatic 3-0 victory over the defending champions.

Goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho secured the bumper win at the Etihad Stadium as City moved five points clear of their title rivals.

After watching his team condemn the Blues to their worst start to a Premier League season for 17 years, Pellegrini insisted his side are consistently better when the heavyweights come head to head.

“Two things are the most pleasing to me about this match,” the Chilean coach told reporters.

“Number one to score three goals. In the first half we played really well, just Asmir Begoivc put in a great performance and we didn't score more.

"Second it was important to get a clean sheet. To win 3-0 in two games, one against the champions, we are just starting the season but it’s important to play in the way we did today.

"We always dominate Chelsea. Maybe we draw against them last year and before we lost but always we dominate Chelsea. Today we made the complete work."

Despite speculation over his future at the Etihad at the end of last season, Pellegrini recently signed a contract extension and was delighted with his side's complete performance.

"I am very proud of this team because we have had a lot of criticism, but we are always the highest-scoring team," he told Sky Sports.

"We have won two titles and last year we finished in second place and I continue playing this side. This is the side fans deserve.

"The first half we played really well and it was down to [Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir] Begovic that we didn't score more, but it was important to get a clean sheet, and to play in the way we did, especially against the champions.

"I think we always dominate against Chelsea, but we didn't give them any chances on the counter attack and we made complete work of our chances."

In next match we need win like oxygen...

It's very worrying that I've got far more faith in JM than you. Calm down and don't panic.

It sounds as if you're enjoying this!

With friends like you...

So the question is, does Mourinho have the bottle to turn to the likes of Traore, RLC, Rhaman in a time where the team is clearly looking for an injection of new blood/ideas?

We used to see Schurrle pulled at half time for less than Ivanovic has done wrong in the opening two games, will he throw the new boy in at left back to send out a message that sub par performances won't be tolerated?

Willian, Ramires and Cuadrado have been poor... So why not give minutes to Moses, otherwise what was the point of bringing him back? Best performer in pre season and then inexplicably dumped from the squad and the great pretender Cuadrado somehow takes his place.

Fabregas has started the season slowly, money where your mouth is time for the midfield. Give RLC a start, see if he can prove he's worthy of a place in the squad because if not now, when?

I definitely think Traore would have made more of a difference than Cuadrado.

I like JM when he is in our team but when he doing same thinks from January? I wish all words from him are  serve to dont upset ours players.

At this point Cuadrado is nothing more than a £27m burden to the club.

We must have called back Moses and Traore for a reason... Namely that Cuadrado has been a massive pile of w**k... So let's justify recalling those players and give them the chances they deserve.

I understand your concerns. Today's result was disappointing but it was against one of the tougher opponents in the league. I don't mean to diminish the result but JM will take note of areas for improvement and will see that improvements happen. Also, it's way too early to refer to someone like Klopp as a manager for CFC after two games.

I, like many, feel disappointment, but I bet I don't feel as badly as the Chelsea team. Football is football, there are far worse things to consider other than this loss so early on.
