We have no chance of winning it, top 4 would do me !

I would still right now class them as title contenders. Not near one of the favourites but still a top team in the league and with Van Persie scoring goals for fun who knows?

I think Chelsea didn't do us a favour. That was massive win for you and now you can go on and have couple easier games and take points. We now are against City away just after they've lost and if they lose that Utd are likely going on top.

So I think if City had win that would have been more of a favor to us.

I was thinking that this weekend you got three points closer to the team who are top and if you beat them next week you have gone six points closer to them in 2 weeks.

Well yea i see your point there and it's always good to get closer to the lead, but just cant see us catching them. We'd need to bee unbeatable rest of the season with majority of those games wins and that's not possible with the squad we have.

Also City players know now they cant lose 2 in row.
 
Why isn't Torres playing? AVB waiting to buy players more suited to him or something? Not a Chelsea fan but I'm happy to see AVB getting some success.
 
After the first goal, I feared the worst, but when we scored, the atmosphere was electric around the ground. That will send warnings out to the rest of the Premiership, Chelsea are back with avengance.
 
I have to say I didn't expect a win which makes it, in a way, even sweeter.

Still have huge reservations about Ivanovic at centre back, bar the Silva challenge Bosingwa did ok and defensively he swept round and covered the centre backs well on a few occasions.

Wasn't overly impressed with Drogba, certainly nowhere near the form he had 20 months ago.

The midfield was superb, somehow between Romeu and Ramires they stopped Yaya Toure's line breaking runs.

Don't think anyone should go overboard on this, I think if City actually maintained their early movement and patience the game would have been a lot more difficult.

Perfect result at the perfect time for the club and AVB though.

Some reports in Italy that Isla is available in January, Udinese prepared to sell, if he comes up I would imagine Chelsea would throw a lot of weight behind signing him.

If you had to pick a perfect right sided player opposite Cole in AVB's system, I would argue he would be the prefect man for it.

If Alves wasnt Ronaldo-like or Busquets-like (*put a shammer name here*-like), he would be a perfect RB, although he is such a ****, you cant take the pure football abilities away from him. he is/was controlling completely the right side of Barca, and maybe we need source like Opta to tell us exactly how many balls and passes he sent from the right last season. Not sure if he is as good in defending though.
But apart from his (football)abilities he is a ****. nuff said.
 
Nothing really in the kick but the slap was totally uncalled for. Mata did well not react like most players do these days.

IMO that was not a slap, Toure just tried to sort of pat on his head, but Mata pushed his hand which made it look like Toure swung his hand. On the other hand Kick was not needed. And Massive respect for Mata for not doing theatrics.

You pat the top of the head, not the cheek.
 
Personally, I think Toure was acting like a petulant little child. What an absolute ****. And how unsurprising that no action will be taken.

Mata without doubt showed who the bigger man was. Full respect to him. Nescafe handshake to Toure

What kind of pats to the head do you get?

Against United we saw Balo and Aguero incident right. I though Toure was doing something similar but Mata pushed his hand which made it look like lot uglier.
 
A friend of mine at work is a city fan, and he called Toure's actions throughout the game last night a disgrace.
