Special Juan

I watched the game and you could just tell all along that City could move up a gear and score when they saw fit. Villa are incredibly poor, very bland indeed.

Sanchez gives them a different type of threat to what we are used to from previous seasons, but I am confident we can shut them out. I think the movement of our front 4 will be too much, in fact Costa alone will be too much. 2/3-0

It's OK because Villa will be ready for their cup final when they face us.

Just scored for Bremen to make it 1-1 v Freiburg.

Balotelli dropped for today's game and replaced by Lambert He was pathetic in midweek and rightly dropped.

Yes I agree, it's just so disappointing to see him make so many wrong choices in a game, it's not like him.

It's not just his finishing, it's his decision making too.

But he shakes hands before the end.......

So so is another way of saying average/in between when he isn't in a good moment.

Opinions on him are like his form......it varies.

Sorry I have no idea what you mean

I don't think they have risen.

Jose: No reaction to Spain selecting Costa. Is ready to play against Arsenal. No advantage mentality wise, 6-0 happens every fifty years. Amazing achievement by Wenger for 18 years at Arsenal, congratulates both Wenger and the club. On Cesc: Not sure what reception he will receive from Arsenal fans, as long as the blue half are behind him. He's been phenomenal for Chelsea since joining. On Welbeck: He's a threat, was before and is now. On Schurrle: When he plays on top of his game he is phenomenal, when he isn't, he is so,so. Ramires and Drogba both out. Everyone else is fit. Martin Tyler asking about Azpilicueta's 100th game: Fantastic player, left back or right back it doesn't matter. Now finished.

Mourinho PC at approx 1pm.

Hope he suffocates them with his passing and vision on Sunday.

Won't even be close in either leg... Big they need these big European nights ya know.

He played well last night, and also, Spurs are fucking shit by the way. Soldado is complete mince.

We have been so used to and for so long watching a striker he couldn't be that aware anymore let alone look dangerous. Right now there is no better striker around that is as sharp and consistent as Costa.

I don't think I did, but I knew he was very good, if that makes sense. It's the actual impact he has made that's made everyone stand up and pay attention.

You couldn't be anymore transparent. This is simply a continuation from another thread and you know it. That's all I will say on the matter. I have a feeling your time here is very limited because you simply don't get it at all and your words today have been nothing short of disgusting.

They wish.

What the fuck is your problem? Seriously why bring something from another thread and continue it here?

No point, we have Dave and Brana for that position. Shouldn't even be considered.

Right this is now locked ladies and gentlemen because two of our members cannot follow a simple instruction of staying on topic. I will let Choulo deal with this, but for the time being this locked to prevent more crap being spouted. I seriously worry about some on here, I really do.
