At this point I'd rather Liverpool win than City. Because Pelegrinni is such a cunt and Liverpool has been magical this year.
Dreading how annoying the fans will be thoughsorry arnie
Not a problem. There are naff fans at all clubs, and in my experience the larger and more broad the fanbase the higher the frequency of tits. Liverpool is no exception to that.
As a footnote to this, though, Liverpool also have a remarkable set of fans that when on song, as they are now, are above anything else this country can offer. We'll see that again on Sunday. Before, during and after the match.
The game wasn't dire because Chelsea played defensively, plenty of games like that are pleasant to watch, it was however a dire game.
Brilliant result for Chelsea in any case.

Mourinho is legit worse than pretty much any other manager in football. Most others suddenly become myopic to controversy, but he goes off the deep end.
I'd have Mourinho as my manager in a heartbeat, but I'd still be absolutely forthright in my opinion that he's a total cunt.
He's like the player you love to hate in the opposition side. The Roy Keane. An absolute grade A massive wanker. You'd still want him in your team. But unlike most fans if there's someone at my club who's a tosser I'll call them one rather than pretending otherwise.
Yes, but his tongue was so firmly lodged in his cheek with his follow up points that it was hard to take him seriously.
Since I doubt Chelsea will park the bus next week, I'm sure that we'll see goals on both sides.
Pro player that...
Feorax, you see the Ayre quote?
Ayre on summer transfers: "It will cost what it costs when we decide who the manager wants to buy."
Barrett is suggesting the Kono story as well, not seen anything on the Mkhitaryan rumours again. Also seems to suggest we have £50m minimum to spend in the summer.
Need to go for Shaw next.

That's why I want City to win. A team that can't even fill out their stadium, we even only got 2 posters in this thread and one of them won't realize they won the league until sometime next year.
Pro moment....innit?
I'm 22 tomorrow, have the rest of the week off work.
Waking at 11, slamming a Burger King at Euston at 12:30, be in Preston by 3, meeting some good friends for beers in town. Be home by 6:30, dinner with the family then unwind in front of the telly watching two European superpowers headbutt each other.
That killed me.
But what are you going to have for dinner?

Don't forget your top of the league cigarette
Seen 3 different reports tonight released at the same time. One says £40 million, one says 50, one says 60. I hope we get in a few real quality players, that's all I ask.
Good to see Rodgers will be getting players he wants though. Means they might actually get game time.
I wonder if the weekend will be like the game in 2012 when Di Matteo took a real sub-par team to Anfield when the league was done, but the CL was in sight.
In other news, Vaan Gaal has apparently told "friends" that he's very keen to take over Manchester United, according to Goal.
Indian.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY [TOMORROW] YOU LOVELY CUNT!!!!!!!!!!
just in case I don't see you tomorrow
I KNEW IT! That explains the puffy lips, you fucking cannibal.
I think everyone is letting Madrid Athletic FC off the hook way too much for todays non football. Yeah Chelsea parked the bus but the home team were hardly putting on a master class of incisive football. Lumping crosses in for 90 minutes was a failure of tactics. It was premier league-esque. I expected better from the La Liga leaders.
Time of your life, Arnie. Time of your life.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's father has passed away due to stomach cancer.

He obviously left the squad and is travelling to Denmark.
DvB also left, because his wife is giving birth

And what? We know he's our tosser. But you were complaining about the hypocrisy as if it's unique to him when it's not, it's a trait of virtually every football manager. Then you said he doesn't get called out, when in fact, he's been getting called out more than ever recently. And if the hypocrisy really is why people complain about the "boring" and "negative" football, then complain about it, rather than saying "park the bus" as if it's not a legitimate tactical tool regardless what Mourinho may have said a bunch of weeks back.

JT and Cashley are cunts too. So was Drogba but he's away now. Ramires does a fine line in attempted leg breakers as well.

I use "park the bus" because well that was a Mourinho invention remember? And his brand of hipocrisy is worse than pretty much any other manager in football. His constant need to shit stir is why he was over looked for the job at Old Trafford and we all know that's where he'd have went if they'd came for him.

Their squad depth is fantastic though and Mourinho is about setting up a team right, not individuals anyway so not sure this changes much.
Terry is a big miss however for the way they play.
EDIT: Happy Birthday btw!
I like Mourinho in the sense he is a winner, would love him managing England although I would prefer someone like Rodgers. His football is really hit and miss, puts a lot of shackles on his players. I really don't like that he puts zero faith in youth and grinds out the ability from them, attacking fullbacks may as well kill themselves. Shaw is a Chelsea fan but would be an absolute mug to go there. He said this team is a young one and that they can't be expected to challenge, it really isn't. And by comparison Liverpool have younger players brought through and playing much better football. He will have a moan about people parking the bus, does it himself but also moans about attacking teams trying to say things like Football is not basketball. As if Football wasn't attacking as fuck long before basketball had any relevance.
Makes it hard to like him, but if he wins a champions league, that is great for England and English football no matter what as the so called good playing teams from England choked as usual.
Thank you little prince.HAPPY BIRTHDAY [TOMORROW] YOU LOVELY CUNT!!!!!!!!!!

Be utterly mad. Like a mountain of hot wings with a side order of Paella.
It really is.
So much is happening I just can't keep up. How's this team won 11 on the bounce?
I want my life to stop so I can just take stock.
Lol at these Chelsea fans who have convinced themselves it's a shtick and the man isn't just a massive cunt.
Ditto. My bartender is Irish, and a supporter, so I would be happy for the old guy.
I would much rather City win the league than Liverpool or Chelsea. Genuinely pleasant and humble fans despite their circumstances, probably because they know what it's like to be relegated and to be in the shadow of their neighbour. Good luck to them.
Beat Chelsea and it's all over, City's spirits will be broken - they have to play Palace and Everton away before Liverpool's next game and I can't see them taking 6/6 points from those in that scenaris. If Liverpool can't beat a weakened Chelsea and somehow conspire to throw the league away in the following weeks, the Samaritans will be working overtime. You might as well ditch Gerrard from the World Cup, he'll be broken.
Calling Mourinho to publicly concede the league in his pre-Liverpool press conference. Cue howling from the media about him fucking about with the sporting legitimacy of the league when he states his intention to play a weak team. Secretly he'll be hoping that'll unsettle Liverpool who'll be thinking they've got it easy.

You support a team full of cunts (Biscuits, Mascherano, Alves, Valdes, Alba and a wife and tax cheating Messi) and to add on top of it are tax frauds and child traffickers. Maybe you of all people shouldn't talk that much about the morality of football clubs. Where's Pulga when you need him.
Your team are going to be just as boring tomorrow.

I would still rather City just because I don't think we'll ever hear the end of it if Liverpool win. That said, I'd be hard pushed to say they don't deserve it. All you can do is win games and get the most points and that's exactly what Liverpool have done. Best man wins at the end of the day.
It's not the mere use of the term, that's fine, it's the laziness of people just posting it as if it's inherently a bad thing. Also, let's not go down the he'd of taken the United job road, because in actual fact, the only real evidence and quotes we have on the matter only point to him going back to Chelsea. Hearsay about him crying doesn't really cut it. Anyway...
don't think so, we aren't playing an english club tomorrow
If you're a young player looking to take that next step in your career, to become a colossal footballer, and Brendan Rodgers comes in for you can you turn that down after we've seen what he's done to the likes of Sterling, Flanagan and Henderson? And Sturridge, let's not forget.
Going to United is a gamble, bordering on career suicide (at this very minute). Chelsea can offer money and London and Mourinho (but not first team football). Liverpool offers the best working environment given the makeup of the squad and the manager in charge. Not to mention a project that's bursting at the seams.
