    I love how Man City fans are pointing to May and claiming we won't have any trophies or a manager.  This coming from the supporters of a club whose last major honour, aside from an FA cup last season, was winning Division 1 and getting promoted.  Have fun playing on Thursdays (which will likely make that league trophy a little more difficult)

  • Watching this game, I can't help but wonder "Can Man city get their shirt right?" -- Their Red jersey look like "fake AC Milan", their blue jersey look like "Chelsea-lite", their white shirt with red diagonal stripe is even worse, looking like "Forever South America underdog - Peru National Team". 1 billions Pound and couldn't get their shirt right. 

    Fair result for Champions League Team against Europa League Team.

    How dare you call Peru Forever South American Underdogs. We've been to the World Cup, can Chelsea claim that?
    Besides, that particular honor belongs to Bolivia.

    To add to my previous post, those of you who haven't seen it - Andre's 15 minute Q&A (before he was appointed Chelsea manager).

    Wanted to say this for a while now, and will do tonight. It's always so refreshing to hear Andre's post match interviews, be it rants or just thoughts on the game, his grasp of language is second to none, better than most English managers, dare I say it. And the things he says don't really sound like your typical cliched 'football management speak', as he always tries to let us in on technical details, as if we were on his seminar. You gotta love the guy!
