Man City vs Chelsea

[toddandrewblue 19]

This'll probably be the most unpopular post on here, but seriously, will you lot take the blue specs off for a minute and have a look at the 'performance' we put in? We were so fucking off our game today we made the draw specialists look good.

Instead of the 'wounded animal' you'd have expected to come out fighting after we at least battled our arses off mid-week, we turned up whingeing and whining like little bitches. Ok, so Webb's a dickhead of the highest order but bad decisions happen week-in-week out in the Premier League and a side is either big enough to take it on the chin and get their heads together, or they'll act like petulant, arrogant fuckers, and lose in the manner we did today.

Both Ashley Cole and particularly Didier Drogba showed shades of their former selves most of us would rather not be reminded of - mouthing and bitching at every opportunity, Cole's back turned to the ref, Drogba standing over an injured Bridge moaning about a nothing brush of the shoulder he'd somehow been 'injured' by earlier. Shameful.

Fair enough, Citeh got away with fouls time and again whilst we were getting booked for some nothing challenges (oh and Carvalho's a total cock for the needless kick on the Argie midget) but if we're going to challenge for the title rather than fall apart like we did at exactly the same stage as last season, then our players need to drop the 'victim' attitude and fucking earn it.

Dead on misschief. We looked terrible today and deserved nothing better than a draw, if that. I felt like that CC loss might be a bad sign, but hoped to chalk it up to use of the "B" squad, and that we'd get back on track today. Looks like it was a bad sign afterall, and I feel like its time for the "Christmas Crisis" to strike again. We've lost our cushion at the top. The next mistake will probably take us out of the lead, and I'm afraid once we're out of it, we're out of it for good. A shame the team hasn't been able to keep up their form.

You know, everyone shrugs off the Carling Cup, and yeah, if we're going to lose in any one competition in a season better it be that, but losing that game to Blackburn allows the seeds of doubt in, whether we're playing our "A" squad or not. You lose a little of your edge almost anytime you lose - no matter the circumstances or the competition. You start second guessing. As soon as that CC game ended, you could almost hear the air start to come out of the Blue baloon. Let's hope a win (a convincing win, although we'll probably see the "B" team again) against APOEL and our fairly easy upcoming schedule allows us to patch that hole. I don't want Ancellotti to become another Scolari, another coaching casualty to lend yet more instability to this squad.

My final statement will probably piss some people off, but it is my opinion so here goes: Lampard needs to sit 1 or 2 games. Not CC games and APOEL. He needs time to address whatever his problem is of late. He's a shell of himself of late, and he needs time off. Perhaps he's still injured, I don't know. But he's timid, he's got no ofense in him whatsoever, and that penalty today was mediocre at best. Before he shot I told my son, "He's going to miss. He's been off his game and he's going to miss." Needless to say, I hated being right.

Get your act together boys, and win this league! It's been too long! Win the CL!

^ this is the talk of a mid-table club fan

if you don't like Chelsea being a Big football club go support a mid-table team, the aim is to win the league, not to give man-city fans back rubs.

I love CFC being a big football club, I've supported CFC since we were a mid-table team buddy, I'm just saying that on this occassion they were better than us, we lost our heads and didnt deserve to win its as simple as that.

Im sure normal service will be resumed in our next game, Im just obviously disapointed with our performance today as I know we can play alot better.

consistency is key, it's all well and good losing games and then getting back to 'normal service' for a few games then back to disappointment.

I totally agree, you and I both know CFC can play wonderful football, and as you say, consistancy is the key, we can beat anyone on our day, but today just wasnt one of those which is so frustrating.

We do have the ability to win the league, and we will be up there, I also think this year we can go all the way in the CL.

Lets get our blips/silly mistakes out of the way now and push on towards the end of the season, the players will learn from this and come back strong in midweek and hopefully sustain that for the rest of the season.

WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT GUYS!

Keep the Faith

Yeah thats true. Time to go on another unbeaten run...the next 8 games should see a sizeable lead regained, and Yernited should slip up looking at their fixtures.

Man City played players who are willing to take defenders on -SWP, Tevez and Robinho. A criticsm af selection would be that Joe Cole should have been at the top of the diamond instead of Deco and malouda would have given their defenders a problem with a bit of width

No complaints about yesterday really, yes Howard has probably been paida few grand from a Dubai bank account, but basically they were more upfor it....
