    Well done plucky little Arsenal, was a great match to listen to on 5 Live. Speaking of 5, that's how many points City are behind Chelsea now - all a bit 'déja vu' eh? :wink:

    Don't know what I was worried about. Seems it was more like this.

    Always knew we had it in us. Bitter Sweet giving those Chelski boys something to cheer about though. :D

    When the Arabs took over at City one memorable thing I heard was "City will always be sh*t no matter who manages them or plays for them, because they are City" and while they might have won the league post-Arab era, they haven't done anything at all in Europe and thats what matters. Win the league by 18 points and I might be impressed.

    They've done a lot more in Europe than your bloody lot this year!

    I suppose if you count scraping through the Champions League group stages by the skin of your teeth as 'doing a lot more', then fair enough :)

    Anyway Timmeh, thanks again for beating City 'Chelsea style'. There's a little gift on its way to The Emirates from West London with a message that reads like this:
    'Dear Arsene, I guess I was wrong, You are not a complete specialist in failure. Thanks for helping me win the title again. Mega-ROFL, your friend, José' :wink:

    I'm still tripping the light fantastic and that's without 'my grandads bike's' help.

    One win against a big team doesn't make a season. All eyes on the Chelski City game...

    What difference will that make to Manure''s league position? You lot are scrapping it out with Southampton, Arsenal and Spurs for third and fourth.

    For now there are some Scousers to be outwitted :wink:

    Worse, London, just moved towards scouse ville during my school years. Father is a blue so I went red, just to ensure I disappointed him from an early age

    3-1 to Liverpool tonight, now I'll go back to work and stop dreaming. I think either 2-1 Liverpool or we get thrashed 3-0 without showing anything

    Chelsea can't care about the Capital One Cup. Liverpool are in with a good chance I think.

    Don't think so. Have you sen the team line up? Apart from Oscar its Jose's normal first choice team.

    Yeah, he may have been more conservative if it was league fixtures this weekend rather than FA cup but by fiedling a full strength team I guess he hopes to kill this tie off before the return next Tuesday.

    Going to plan so far, but it's only 1-0 so a bit disappointing...

    disappointing with the referee, not only gives a penalty but fails to give us one :(

    To be fair Chelsea were fairly average tonight. The shite were on top of their game, at home and they still couldn't win - snigger snigger

    Take cover City Boy, Chelsea Loanee putting you to the sword.

    His Mum and Dad are my Neighbours, they were gutted when he left Derby.

    Thought Stevo would be Slumming it watching his second team.... Should have known though he's Off Skiing. Anything were he gets a lift up hill.
