Have another look at the goal but ignore what we're doing and have a look at Terry and Ivanovic. Some teams come to the Etihad and park the bus but this from the league leaders at home is a fucking joke.

When we have Arsenal & Chelsea both playing like Stoke in order to try & pinch points off us, we must surely be on the right track.

Yeah shame we couldn't beat either of them though. Oh and Stoke beat us didn't they, perhaps it's they who are on the right track Ted...

If that's how you prefer to look at it.

I recon I'm right though.

Wasted opportunity was that.

Fernandinho and Milner were excellent, our corners and use of the ball in the last third not so. We are in touch, just, but must now put a run of 5-6 consecutive wins together and then see where we are with 10 games to go.

I'd snap your hand off for 5 wins out of 6, whatever order they come. 3 points out of either of Stoke or Liverpool away & lose/draw the other, will do me.

Chelsea have some easy fixtures to come, on paper. But I don't think any top 6 side including Chelsea, can take anything for granted from now on. There will be some intersesting twists involving everyone I recon.

That's a turn-up for the books.

I know I was shocked. I find it amazing he can type at all with where his head has been lodged for years.

I'll refrain from taking this in a 'yo mama' type direction.

Can't agree with your opinion of wasted opportunity Goaters 103 , it was a mustn't lose game , we bossed it but couldn't find a way through 6 or 7 buses parked on the edge of the league leaders penalty area . The game took its toll on them and the season is taking its toll , they are down to the bare bones and Maureen is panic stricken . This title race will almost probably go to the wire ! It's not for the faint hearted but neither has our last two title run ins ;-)

Totally agree with that. Very worried man.

I suppose one slight positive for Chelsea, from this game, is that Zouma looked fairly useful, certainly more so than Mourinho's current centre-back incumbents.

If either Cahill or Terry were off-loaded, that might make their back line even more scrooge-like.

I haven't been paying much attention recently, but from Sky, MOTD and the papers, I think that's accurate.

Nasri, Yaya and Bony are just fringe players, they are certainly not going to dislodge Milner, Navas and Fernandinho when they return.

I did chuckle at Sky's comparison of City & Chelsea's players, putting Fabregas up against Fernando. Sure, that's a fair comparison.

Well they did cost the same and came in at the same.

He did look quite decent but so did Mangala when they came to Manchester. One thing I did notice in both our game and the Dippers game was his propensity to head clearances straight back down the middle which more often than not landed at an opposition player's feet inviting more pressure on.

Think your mixing up your Ferns.

Fernando cost £12million.
