Well yeah because City fans are really cocky right now and perhaps with reason. If United gain more ground on us their fans will be just as bad. They've been humbled recently but they are worse than City fans IMO.

That's true, but in my opinion, the United fans I've come across seem better than City fans haha.

Plus I could not bear seeing Lampard win the league or any trophy with them.

They wouldn't be if they won lol especially after the gap we had.hopefully we van get job done

After we lost watching this makes me smile

Apparently he get`s behind his team.

Yesterday just reinforced my suspicions that football is indeed corrupt, in all countries.

I find there to be far too much coincidence that Chelsea lose earlier in the day and Man City have the opportunity to close the gap in the title race and they do it undeservedly. We didn't play well but we should have had the opportunity to play a 10 man (arguably 9 man) Manchester City for the majority of the game starting at 0-0 but instead a very controversial penalty was given and what do you know? It gives Man City the opportunity to score and of course, they oblige and that's why it's 'the most exciting league in the world'.

I'm just really fed up. Barkley got booked today for diving in what was exactly the same kind of tackle that led to the penalty and he was booked because the media harboured on about his dive versus West Ham which has earned him a reputation, the referee couldn't wait to book him when it was obviously, not a dive. However, this will continue because Everton aren't currently at the top of the table, they don't have a chance of winning 'the most exciting league in the world' and it keeps the clubs that Sky want exactly where they're supposed to be whilst continuously stopping other clubs. In stark contrast a player not too far from Goodison named Raheem has spent more time on the floor this season than he has on his feet but he won't be castigated for it because Liverpool were title contenders last season.

Not only that but it's the third year in a row we've conceded a penalty at the Ethiad. Incident #1 Fellaini tugging a shirt from a corner (Tevez I think) Incident #2 Coleman grabbing a hold of Zabaleta's hand in the box Incident #3 Jagielka shoulder barging Milner. They've all been very soft penalties and it's no coincidence they've been given over the time that Man City have propelled themselves to title contenders.

It's absolutely tragic.

Pretty much, the FA want competition in the title race so it makes the league look good. If we kept winning and City kept dropping points, there'd be 0 competitors for the title race, it'd be the Bundesliga basically.

I don't know what's going on behind the scene with FA, City, etc. Yes maybe there are some controversial decision that 'looks like' swing on to City's favour.

But what I want to pointed out is that from our side, from Chelsea side. Is it referee fault we have a draw against Sunderland and losing against Newcaste? No, it is us who under perform and not deliver enough, plus like Jose said, when they are facing us they have a large motivation and play the game of their lives. If we play our game as usual we could get more points from those two match.

So I don't think FA or City have any power to 'fixed' Chelsea results, to make it PL looks 'more competitive' on purpose. It is all ourselves to be blamed.

According to the Sunday Times, Liverpool want AVB to replace Rodgers.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Not enough satisfied with agent Rodgers, they want agent AVB to takeover.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I still think Brendan Rogers is a good manager lol. He's been let down in the transfers department, and if they were his transfers then he should consider getting in a DoF. I'd find it hilarious if they got in AvB (but less so if he's a success there).. I find it more plausible they'll target Klopp tbh.

Btw, Zenit this season have only lost 2 games under André Villas-Boas, albeit it's the Russian league but it's still worth noting.

[kobematabryant 400]

Get well soon Aguero, huge loss for the Premier league and City. It sucks he's out for 6 months, oh well I guess this is an advantage for us.

Still not confirmed he's out for 6 months...

[kobematabryant 400]

AVB would make a disastrous mistake if he were to leave Zenit to come to Liverpool FC lol, it'd just wreck his career. Currently, he is building up, and he is doing a fine job for Zenit, leading the Russian League and doing decent at the Champions League. Plus, he is always guaranteed Champions league at Zenit, as long as he finishes 1/2nd.

According to DM, apparently we have won the League

I guess we should be happy they're writing something in our favour for once. But they're fools if they believe City are out of it with Aguero out.. This is the reason they've got Jovetic & Dzeko. Yaya has looked up for it lately too, David Silva still has to come back. Not to mention there's still another bloody 5 months to go!

Don't forget Yaya has ACoN, depending on the amount of time Aguero is out its still in our hands

haha!!!!one injury yeah its a big one but January is coming up.plus if we don't win our games it won't make a difference.daft from them again n prob to get a reaction

Last week we looked likely to go unbeaten...in November

Now the league looks won..in November

Urgh that.I don't think any fan in their right mind believed the hype more media

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Yesterday was the best day ever on Twitter.. Arsenal corning Chelsea for our first loss of the season while they suffered their 4th

Don't forget Yaya has ACoN, depending on the amount of time Aguero is out its still in our hands

Yeah true, I mean even with a fit Aguero I think it's in our hands anyway. They always seem to make the title race harder for themselves and require others to slip up.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I've adopted Villa as a second team, so go on Villa!

1-1
