+1

Didnt Vidic get away with something similar earlier?

EDIT: Before he got sent off of course, lol

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 7:26pm

Fair play to Chelsea, they really turned it on today.

We were good going forward but absolutely **** at the back. When Petrov comes back himself, SWP and Robinho are going to have some fun.

EDIT: Nice sportsmanship from JT going down the tunnel giving '3-1' on the fingers to the City fans. :rolleyes: That's the sort of behaviour that makes people hate him

Considering that Elano didnt play,who do you think Petrov will come in for

Chelsea were awesome there. If they continue to play like that the premiership will be over mathematically in mid April.

professsional foul?

eagle eye · 13-09-2008 7:41pm

On the red card incident, my first thought is that he was last man back. Its easy to look at replays and say otherwise afterwards but at the time of the incident I was sure that if he beat Terry that he was away and gone.

At home I think it will be Hamann with maybe Johnson in for Ireland i.e. -

Kompany

SWP

Johnson

Petrov

Elano

Robinho

Jo

Away from home he'll stick with the two holding players. Out of the 6 above I'd say Elano would go like two weeks ago against Sunderland.

Thats seven players,he'll stick with 4 defenders I presume so eithr Johnson,Elano or Petov wont be playing

Is a professional foul a straight red? Seriously, because he definitely wasnt last man back.

Chelsea were very good today, but if I was a City fan Id certainly be optimistic.

Shit sorry, it's 2.54am here

I'd say either Elano or Johnson would drop out.

Kompany, Robinho, SWP and Jo all will 100% start. It's between Petrov, Elano, Johnson, Hamann, Fernandes, and Ireland for the other two spots.

As far as I know it is.

So only three at the back then?
I think the team that played today beat most teams in the Premiership except drop Hamann and bring in Johnson maybe. I like SWP in behind as well, he looks very dangerous there. I think when he and Robinho get to know each other it could be very dangerous partnership. I know Petrov is a class act but there are so many options in that side. Stephen Ireland it appears can play anywhere, he played well again today.

No, a professional foul excluding one in the last man back situation is only a yellow card.

_blank_ · 13-09-2008 8:00pm

Why is Robinho pointing to the crest?

I hate that kind of chicanery.

Chelsea were awesome, literally inspiring awe. Lampard was just fantastic, his goal was what he was playing like 2-3 years ago. Today showed how far City have to come.

eirebhoy · 14-09-2008 11:57am

Jesus I hate Lampard. He really shows why it's so hard to fit him into a system. He'll get the ball, lay it off and then make a run forward into a goalscoring position. Most of the time that's what he does. He gets into more goalscoring positions than a striker and he's going to obviously be marked less than a striker.

If I hear anyone say look at how many goals he scored "for a midfielder". It doesn't matter that he's categorised as a midfielder. With his amazing technical ability he should be playing a playmakers role like Fabregas.

Did John Terry do a "John Terry" after he was sent off, and get all up in the ref's face?

No actually. He seemed to just point at bosingwa who was in a covering position and I'm assuming say what everyone of us would have and then walked. None of the usual JT stuff. Maybe its a new starting point from him. Even lamps actually had a 3 second go at the ref and then that was it.

Chelsea were very good on saturday, Lamps was pure class as was Deco again. Great showing from the lads.

nothing wrong with Terry pointing out the current score line to the City fans that were abusing him.

the world is gone mad if there is.
