Palace certain to get an equalise against bar codes

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

That's it the biggest upset today :

1. Burnley couldn't beat MU

2. Stoke win against City

[Blue Traveler 256]

YES YES YES YES YES

I NEVER bet on Chelsea games

Should bet on opposition, that gives you either Chelsea win or some money in return

Unless we play someone like Barca where is no doubt that we will win...

Zaha should have stayed in London.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Ok City down, last year we NEVER took advantage of rivals loses. Win vs Everton would now be even sweeter.

BTW swansea third straight win, title contenders?

[Barbara 15,149]

Neither team seems that great tbh, but I'll be fair and credit it to early days.

This City team doesn't scare me at all. And they gave the ball to Liverpool and played with tons of players behind the ball, but you know, when someone else who isn't Mourinho does it, it's great, when it's Mou, it's parking the bus, ofc.

[darrus 422]

Now we need to win.

[iseah100 5,612]

STOKEEEEEE!!!!!

[edetarod 2,155]

just got home to see this:

Burnley 0-0 Manu

City 0-1 Stoke

get the fuck in!!!

[Y123CFC 69]

Don't want to get too carried away but just think if we win today, and then City have Arsenal away after the internationals, whereas we have Swansea at home.

We could, albeit a small chance of it happening, go to the Etihad being 6 points clear of them.

Come on Chelsea!

But City have 4 top strikers.

I was led to believe that their abundance of striking talent guaranteed them the league.

Stoke have always had a well organised defence. It will be a tricky place to go also for us.

I am particularly fond of Ryan Shawcross. For such a orthodox defending Stoke side he is a pretty modern defender. He is anamazing header of the ball tall with a big leap too, strong and rather quick for a defender. Ok ball control and passing. Also he is so consistent I don't remember a bad game from him. Could be one solid back up for us.
