Wow Skrtel, REALLY?

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

roberto mancini is definately part of the mob, and has some match-fixing going on this is utter bullshit! it aint just Sir-alex we gota beat now, also Man-City. beating one is okay but two match-fixers!?!? impossible.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

YESSS Yaya Toure in pain! (insert evil laugh here)

Yeah I want some teams to lose, like City, Liverpool, Arsenal and United.

But to wish a player get injured and enjoy that is not something that seems cool to me.

It's not fair play.

And I don't want to win like that!

See, this is how hard it's going to be for City to drop points this season, even when they look defeated, things go their way. Liverpool have handed this to them, unbelievable..

[Tomo 21,751]

In the 2 first games (at the moment) City have only had 4 shots on target against them...all have been goals.

[Tomo 21,751]

I genuinely do not care what happens in this game. Liverpool will not be finishing above us (i can honestly see them ending below Fulham or maybe even Swansea) and we won't make up a 25 points gap on City in one season.

The teams we need to drop points (Arsenal and Spurs) have twice.

I follow the same rule really, with the exception of Yaya Toure, Suarez and Bellamy. It's not about us winning or them dropping points, I just have a need to see them SUFFER!

atleast its a draw. unless they score in the next 2 mins. as much as we could hope for i guess

Oh fuck off, I don't want Mourinho's back to back titles to become worthless and lose all value, because that's what will happen if City equal it. Any team can splash the cash and win back to back titles, Jose' wasn't special etc, this City team don't deserve that, they don't deserve an equal place in history on face value.

And to think that Skrtel is, according to Carragher, half of the best cb duo in the League...

A draw is after all a good result. We are 5 points clear of City who have 1 game in hand,

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well city were gifted a point, but at least they didn't get all three and more importantly their attack looks very very unconvincing in my eyes, all their goals so far have been absolute gifts.

Its not like we have to make up 25 points, they can easily finish with less points than last year.

If we don't sustain any major injuries, and keep it up during the December period where we usually do bad I don't see why we can challenge for the tittle?

[Nando 106]

Liverpool must be SO pissed! But Sterling will be great for them in a couple of years, if they manage to keep him

We can worry about that later. Chelsea need to get back in the top 4 this season and our main threat's to that happening have 3 points between them currently.

[Zone 290]

So frustrating when you watch a good match and a fucking idiot like Skrtel decides to fuck it all up. City didn't deserve anything in this game.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Well a win would have been better for us, but can't have it all.

So a draw is still not bad for us.

City and United a couple of points behind us, and Liverpool with only one point.

Not bad.

Now to go get something to eat at Red Lobster!

[Jase 43,479]

Great result for us.

[Term-X 7,891]

History only remembers who won what and when, not the small little statistical details. They hold no value in the grand scheme of things.

I personally cannot see it, to go from 6th to 1st is a huge ask, especially considering we have loads of new and young players to gel.

I would love to be wrong tho.

I think our best bet this season would be to try and make history by retaining the Champions League.
