Weekends other matches 19/20 April

[dmishra]

You are presuming City win 5 on the spin though, can't see that happening tbh the way they are going.

I'd rather not rely on City dropping points to win the title. Sunderland did us a massive favour by bringing the target down from 12 to 10 points. That's all we should be thinking about at the moment.

 

[Skullflower]

fucking called it

 

[HC]

There's no way we are getting more than 1 point tomorrow now. 🙁

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I think that Sunderland penalty decision was the right one, Altidore lost his footing on Azpilcuetas sliding leg. If the challenge wasn't made Altidore would've been able to stay upright.

Stupid Azpilipuletalipilipala whatever. He should've left Altidore standing because the oaf can't do shit with the ball anyway.

 

[etchy]

Woooohooo!!! How many points do we need now?

 

[dee]

I'm now more nervous about Crystal Palace

 

[dee]

Woooohooo!!! How many points do we need now?

Same as before - 10

 

[Red Mullet]

Woooohooo!!! How many points do we need now?

Still 10

 

[Shadey]

My boxers are a mess

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Max points Chelsea can get is 84 which is really 83 when you take their goal difference into it.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Woooohooo!!! How many points do we need now?

All 12. Win it with style.

 

[StevieM]

Another tactical master class from uber-manager Jose Mourinho.

When it comes to the crunch - Ivanovic up front.

Cockend.

 

[doctor_mac]

My God. What an amazing, amazing result.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

By the way, free likes for everyone in this thread before I go to bed. Come get 'em! I'm in da mood to be generous!

 

[RedZeppelin III]

and wasn't mourinho banging on earlier in the season about how lukaku being at everton was good for them as he was damaging their rivals with his goals. And now one of our loan players scores the winner against him . ha .

 

[Woland]

I reckon that was just mind games so we take it easy from now on.

 

[Hansern]

First home loss for Mourinho ever in the Premier League

 

[Hyena]

WOOHOOO.
Chelsea should have learnt from the Man City game. Guess not.
It really is up to us not to fuck this up now...

 

[Fallon]

Meanwhile in Liverpool...

 

[Mersey86]

Tomorrow now is absolutely huge. Win and we're 5 ahead of Chelsea. If they have a tough game against Atletico which leaves them in with a chance of the final, they might prioritise their energy for that second game and not have the stomach for our game. Norwich is the biggest league game we've had in 20+ years for me.

Fair enough but you are pretty much saying Chelsea losing doesn't mean anything, of course it does, that was a massive result for us.

 

[Athens]

What's that then?

My phone knew how to spell it, it must be a word.

 

[etchy]

Chelsea is crumbbbbling. Take that mou-face.

 

[peterhague]

It takes the title out of their hands, but doesn't really benefit us in any way.

Of course it benefits us. They're one of our two rivals, and now much less so. That has to be good. Eg, if City were to draw another before the end of the season, this result means we could actually afford to lose against Chelsea and still win it. Or draw against Chelsea AND Palace. Etc.

It's great news.

 

[Shadey]

First home loss for Mourinho ever in the Premier League

Like x999999

 

[Mors]

Agent Borini you beauty!! Mourinho's home record gone too

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

About Borini - I thought that was a decent performance from him by Sunderland standards. He looked like the only player bar Alonso who could actually pass and move, and I thought he kept it simple and helped with their ball retention (or whatever little of that they had). Wickham played a big part in their game in the first half as well - he looks slow, but he held up the ball well for them when they lumped it to him, relieving some pressure on the team well.

Chelsea? They're a fucking mess. Ha Ha Ha!

 

[Red Astaire]

Sunderland were 18-1 to win this with 20 mins left.

Mrs Astaire had £10 on Sunderland to win @14/1 - She knows man! 😀

What a fucking boss result. I'm off to fan my balls - I need to de-stress...

 

[Hansern]

Insane result for us. Doesnt mean a thing though if we dont do the business tomorrow.

Dont think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Biggest game tomorrow in fucking yonks.

 

[dee]

Fuckme

Chel$ki 31 attempts 15 on target and lost
