When City play like this they are the best in the league. So much attacking talent. 

If they sort their defence and keeper in the summer then they'll take some stopping.

We only seem to play like this when Kompany is in the team, without him we are all over at the back

Having been to the community shield between Arsenal and Chelsea I have to say there is absolutely no rivalry whatsoever. Maybe a bit of "office bants" but nothing which effects the players.

If Spurs are at a disadvantage it must be because they themselves have wound up everyone around them. Perhaps because they have stepped outside of their box and the others are jealous of the new world order.

 

I can't remember what season now but probably one of the most lively and intense game in terms of rivalry I've experienced was Chelsea/Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and credit where it's due Arsenal fans were fantastic that day as well, it was one of the seasons where they got a flare in. I know a lot of Chelsea fans these days who actually hate Arsenal more than Spurs, (myself included in recent years) and I'm not trying to suggest the rivalry is as intense as some in this country but there's a good amount of hostility there definitely.

We've been lucky enough to have been to Wembley on many occasions over the years but for a mixture of reasons, Wembley doesn't bring out the best in Chelsea fans so much so that I've even felt disassociated with it, to the extent where I seriously think about not going to a semi final or final because I hate the environment and the atmosphere we create. I can imagine a Community Shield game would be even worse. Then again, you go to Chelsea/Tottenham last season and the atmosphere was unreal in Stamford Bridge that night and I can think of many London derbies over the years where it's been hostile, intense and a great atmosphere. Other Chelsea fans may disagree but for me Wembley has become a place that doesn't bring out the best in us, even despite the success we've had there in recent years. Oddly enough I've heard historically that St James's Park is another one as well for whatever reason.

Anyway, just because I feel a little defensive, here's a few:

Palace were poor today but weren't really allowed into the game, when City play like that they're tough to live with.

Stoke & Leicester both 1-0 up in a couple of dead rubbers.

This game sums up our existence as a club. Losing 2-0 at home to an already relegated team with fucking Billy Jones scoring and an offside goal.

Manchester City winning the quadruple would send this site viral.

This sites too small time for most City fans :4_joy:

As expected, absolute insipid shite from us so far. Swansea have everything to play for and we don't. Swansea should go on to win this 3-0 or 3-1.

Given Hull lost to Sunderland, we lost to Burnley, and Swansea have struggled recently. Then next week we play Hull and Swansea play Sunderland I think it's fair to say whoever finishes 18th deserves it.

We're down, only ourselves to blame if you can't beat Sunderland. Bit annoyed that Everton didn't help us out.

Without Sakho, Tomkins and Dann were there for the taking.

Clearly offsides, robbed a win... not happy with that ref.... but at least we are mathematically safe from relegation.

Awful. Just goes to show we need 7-8 new players this summer or we're nailed on 7th again next season. I'm not just exaggerating either just because we've lost a couple of games. Look at our line up today:

Stekelenburg - shite

Holgate - decent young player but not even a right back

Jagielka and Williams - aging and inconsistent

Baines - decent but not the player he was

Gueye - actually good

Barry - good for his age but still ancient

Mirallas - has one good game in five

Davies - great young prospect but not ready to be playing every week if we want to get into the top 6

Calvert-Lewin - don't want to bash a youngster but absolutely mystified as to what he's done to earn a five year contract

Lukaku - obviously not arsed now that he's probably got the golden boot and he'll be off this summer

Couldn't give a shite who we help out and how we play. We're done for the season. 

Sign loads of players, Walsh.

easy win as expected. Watford were shite having nothing to play for. Off-field speculation about Mazzari/Deeney (or both) leaving. Manager and captain both distracted, no other leaders on the pitch. Shit form and tough fixtures coming up for them.

Stroll in the park for us, pretty much. 3-0 flattered Watford as it could have been much more.
