Man City haven't needed to get out of first gear. Chelsea have been awful in that first half.

Starting with Badiashile in defence is never usually a good idea (I was delighted when I saw him on the transfer vs is recently).

It's also nice to know the collective Arsenal pain when Man City score...

I don’t see how James gets booked there. He has control of the ball, kicks it clear and catches the player at the end trying to challenge him.

It’s going to be 89-90 again.  Emery after losing the title going full SGT.  ‘ Cuando ganas te quedas. Cuando pierdes te vas a la bebida’
¿Que?

‘When you win, you stay in.  When you lose you go on the booze.’  SGT 1990.

Cheers (in a manner of speaking)!

Exactly. Where else is he supposed to put his foot?

Agreed, but the Citeh players had been in the ref's ear since his first foul.

Chelsea are pretty inept; let's hope the score starts at 1-0 and then the visitors get a last-minute goal.

I think a City win is better for us to keep the rest further away. And the closer they get to Arsenal cranks the pressure up on Arteta.

You're welcome. I switched over to the 1% Club.

Did you get the 1% question right Jane?

Chelsea need to bring John Bumstead and John Spencer on.
