Some result if Chelsea turn this tie round ... at their best it is possible, Benzema or not.

It's a pity

I hadn't realised they had lost so few matches. That's pretty impressive.

I reckon Benzema will be the difference again tonight. He's an absolute twat, but one hell of a player.

He's a fantastic player, almost as good as Lukaku - hahahahaha!

This is true but I can't say that I am brimming with any confidence at the moment.

We've dug ourselves out of plenty of deep holes before but negating the Mendy gift might be a step too far.

If we had the same set-up as the start of the season (3-4-3 with fit Chilwell and James as WB's) when we were really motoring up to December in the EPL then maybe I would be more confident; although we probably would not be in the position we are in tonight.

Still, that's only ifs and maybes and the fact of the matter is we trail by 2 going away to a very good team and it will take some doing to overcome that.

You haven't looked at the run-ins, have you? Liverpool have got Manchester United and Everton both at Anfield and City have got an easier run in? How'd'ya work that one out? There's six points and a large influx of goals for the mentality monsters right there. Two easier teams could not be brought kicking and screaming to Anfield for ritual humiliation. AND Liverpool get an almost certain bye into the semi-final of the European cup while City have to try and hold on to a marginal 1-0 from their home game when they travel to Madrid. Then Manchester City have got Steven Gerrard's team as their last game at home while we also have to play them for another easy three points.

Liverpool's is the easier run in unless Manchester City don't have to bother with the faff of that European nonsense.

One of the things I've never understood about football is why Liverpool fans have a reputation for arrogance.

One of life's little mysteries I guess.

..... and we get a rematch on saturday

I'm lucky enough to have been at the Etihad on Sunday and have tickets for the coming Saturday too.

Cracking game, felt we edged it and that last minute Mahrez miss will stay with me for a very, very long time!

Very happy to be top of the league with seven to go, but anything could happen yet.

I've also got tickets for Villa on the last day :-)

It's a pity good teams have fans like you because it makes people hope you come crashing down.

Shame really.

And that bothers me how? Let's not forget who made that comment, Derby boy.

I'm sure it won't bother you at all.

Now at the risk of repeating myself, what is this Derby thing all about?

Is it your sense of humour I'm somehow missing or have you some misguided notion saying 'Derby' is somehow offensive or have you genuinely got something wrong with you?

I'm genuinely intrigued?

It's quite strange to say the least.

To be fair, Paul is normally fairly level headed.
Not sure why Paul's got this idea that you're a Derby fan.

But I think that traditionally, they all tend to get a bit giddy, slack eyed and silly at this time of the season regardless. 🤭 You kind of allow for it.

Nasty spot for RM free kick.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Superb goal from Mount.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Tension building now...

Rollocks - top goal.

What a match - makes the weekend's big match look insipid. 🙂
