We are first. How is that our downfall? However I will add something here that has been on the back of my mind. Mourinho made some excellent buys but then wasted money on unnecessary buys. What was the point in buying Zouma? What was the point in buying Salah? I think now that when we need to rotate our team we see how poor some of the "subs" are really. So that's one area that is a bit disappointing, our bench is not as good. But other then that, our downfall? Your having a laugh!

So your saying it's good to be fickle?

Good stuff. Now we can get that wank of invencibles out of the way. Other then that I liked that even though we lost the team went down fighting instead of with a whimper like some other times.

Your a roller coster hey? Against schalke you was over the moon now this. Your very fickle men. Just like the Newcastle fans that wanted pardew out and now they kissing him.....

Men this guy is slow!!!

Good stuff. Now we can get that wank of invencibles out of the way.

But that happens in a lot of games not just this one and he's never done this.

That's because Aguero is the best striker in the world.

Lb for lb? I never seen that from mourinho. That's something that carlo used to do and it wasn't that good.

Knee jerk reaction from the guy above me. But I been saying this for some time: So yes cahill continues to remain our weak link but if we lose today it will not be totally his fault. We was a bit rusty today, the whole team.

City ain't much of a great rival to me. Last season they won because we helped them. And that was a Chelsea that was filled with issues. Now we have a much better team and blowing everyone away so it's not a team that strikes fear. Furthermore I keep stating that city are a small team with small fan base that media doesn't give two cents about. Only you and some minority deluded fans in some fourm... So again Lampard has not gone to the most popular club, or to our derby rival like Arsenal. But a small club that no one cares even if they win the title like last year.

But who are city? Are city United? Liverpool or Arsenal? City, a team with few fans and that many people in the world don't care about. So why should it bother me? I would be more hurt if he had joined these guys and say they where the best team in the world and all that shenanigans. By the way didn't Joe Cole said something of that sort when he joined Liverpool? After he left to France he actually helped Chelsea by talking to Hazard about us. So to me what Joe Cole said and did at Liverpool was all diplomatic just like Lampard at City.

Well it's nothing new. A lot of people have been saying that from beginning how FFP is not fair. Just that Mourinho never did get into the topic because he used to managed Real Madrid....

Before the Sunderland game this was the one I was more worried about as Spurs always play hard against us. And seeing how we are getting fatigue it might be complicated game. The only great thing that will make a difference is that we are playing home.

How is Lampard able to stay beyond the starting date of the mls? Isn't the league starting in March for nycfc?

And don't forget they have to play us in our home. So I'm not at all worried.

Good stuff, but I still love Lampard. We didn't want him and let him go. Our fault not his.

Now you know how Arsenal fans must feel. We didn't want Lampard and Arsenal did not wanted Fabregas. Our loss is their gain, their loss is our gain.

You thought any otherwise? Soton is just a race like any other team in the past. The one season wonder. Newcastle, Liverpool, Everton, and much more. These teams always fall apart after the Christmas schedule. Or like Arsenal by March!

Chelsea fans complaining about Sunderland defensive tactics is cringe worthy to say the least. @Term-X, always bring pictures about deluded City fans, but seriously we got those everywhere even here!

Awesome game from Sunderland. Rodgers should take some lessons. ?

Childish to laugh about another player getting injured.

What's so funny that a player gets injured?

Whats the point of having another 20 year old in the bench? They need to play so they can grow. Like kdb with us. He sucked bad when he hardly play. Now when to a team when he's playing and doing good. So no, having a 20 year old to rot in the bench doesn't do anything for us or the kid.
