I've always thought Bellamy was quality.....just that he is an absolute arsehole, a real poison dwarf!!

My brain wanted City to lose, but my heart enjoyed every minute of them winning :(

 

Not sure why bridge has left england squad, isnt that giving up? If anyone, terry should be the one leaving the team.

LET’S do as John Terry keeps telling us he wants to do, and concentrate on the football. In his past four appearances, Chelsea’s captain has cost his team three points at Goodison Park, placed them in grave danger at Molineux, handed two gilt-edged scoring chances to Internazionale at the San Siro and seriously compromised their Premier League lead at Stamford Bridge.

Here’s the rub for Terry. Either the fallout from his myriad off-field indiscretions has damaged Chelsea’s spirit or he’s just not up to the basic job of leading a defence. Whichever judgment you make, the man is turning from self-created legend into self-destructing liability. Wayne Bridge detests him, though right now Terry must be Sir Alex Ferguson’s favourite footballer.

No Roman Abramovich team have capitulated like this, exchanging a comfortable first-half lead for a 4-1 deficit and having not one but two experienced internationals sent off for senseless challenges. Chelsea had not lost on home territory for 37 straight games and Manchester City not so much as found the net here in seven visits stretching back to 2000.


I enjoyed that but yes back to losing ways please City. It's natural for them so we should be ok there. wink

Reports have it Rooney might be rested for the MMouse Cup tonight. shifty

Splashed across TV news programs across the world, that look from Bridge and the shy from Terry was just so dramatic. Look of disgust from Bridge, and Terry avoiding his eyes. So well captured.

Ref bottled it because it was so early in the game.

 

Lots of players slipping on the pitch for some reason.

 

Milner looks pretty dangerous on the ball.

The Manchester United manager, who cast doubt over Rooney's involvement in England's friendly against Egypt on Wednesday after revealing the striker was struggling with a knee injury, praised his players' determination after they recovered from going behind to James Milner's fifth-minute penalty to retain the trophy.


Somewhat 'convenient' timing for that 'injury' there. wink
