city won 19 league home games in a row
![]() IVe had the misfortune of watching them a lot recently and they have been woeful |

By:
Big back of City for this one - they are unstoppable at home imo.
|
|
By:
unstoppable? obviously you missed united and liverpool beating them there in the cups....
|
|
By:
'in the cups'
Three words that make your post irrelevant imo. |

chelsea have had very friendly fixtures so far since AVB was sacked. haven't looked likely to get a result in a big away game this season
home team is invariably always too big in these top 6 match ups |

By:
Is Tevez set to play?
|
|
By:
i do fancy city for this
|
|
By:
is tevez scheduled to return then?cos even if he aint fully match fit can imagine it giving city a big boost
|
|
By:
Chelsea look a different team under Di Matteo, Id imagine they have an incentive to do well here. (They have their own ambitions of getting into Top 4) I think they would accept a draw from here

By:
thats an amzing home record for city

21/3/12 Man City v Chelsea
12/12/11 Chelsea 2 - 1 Man City 20/03/11 Chelsea 2 - 0 Man City Chelsea WWWWLW City WLLWWW Not much to separate these two teams, the only thing that would separate them easily would be the fact Chelsea recently overturned a massive deficit to beat Napoli and go through in the most prestigious competition in the world and City were knocked out of that cup and Europa. Should be higher IMO. |

By:
City will maulicate these

Having a dig at Liverpool?
Paranoid much? ![]() |
|
By:
They can be irrelevant if there are mostly reserves playing,or if it is seen as meaningless, but the United/Liverpool games they lost were ultra competitive matches with everyone available out there.

City are going to blow chelsea to pieces.

It's not just personnel that differs, tobermory.
Attitude, tactics etc. make the whole thing irrelevant when considering a league fixture. Each to their own, but I exclude cup games from my thoughts when considering a bet on a league fixture. |
|
By:
I don't think City approched those games with different tactics or less commitment.
|
|
By:
I'd say it's a safe bet that they did.
During the game, a Manager's thought process will be very different for a knockout competition than a league game - no question. There's plenty of examples of teams doing badly in the league that perform well in cups, and vice versa... it's a different psychology for the players - league position is irrelevant, previous results are irrelevant, no points up for grabs, goal difference irrelevant. So many reasons why it's treated differently imo. |
|
By:
I can see Chelsea getting something out of this game. Confidence must be higher than it's been all season, whereas City seem to be getting the jitters a wee bit.

Dodd is after some prey today, tobermory in his sights, run for the hills tober!
As for the match I'm thinking City will win it if they have any bottle at all, It's time to start showing some, i believe they will. |

cob - I'm debating a football issue in a mature way - kindly leave your childish comments at the door, otherwise you'll be put back in your box.

By:
I think City may just nick it but I can see it being a tight and boring game. Won't be betting on it but will be watching with interest.
|

By:
I wouldnt be backing City here Chelsea are flying and everybody is fit ,under Di Matteo they are like a new team .
The B team that drew with Birmingham thrashed Leicester yesterday and City look as nervous as Tottenham. |

Massive lay of City

Thanks for your input Dawsy, even though we all know that you are slightly less familiar with a winning bet as Ann Widdecombe is with a playboy centrefold photographer.

Chelsea have an abysmal away record, while city have a 100% homne record in the league and people here are doubting city claiming chelsea will get something, LMFAO AT evens odds... this is a banker!
|
|
By:
abysmal!,lost 4 out of 14,not great either but....the city stat at home is just great as ive said,i might be looking for something that isnt there maybe

Evens for a team with a 100% home record and every motivation to win is a superb price.
|
|
By:
think teams have every motivation to win every game dont you?
|
|
By:
No. Often happy to draw. If Man City were 4 points ahead, a draw would be okay. 4 points behind, a win becomes more important as the title goes out of their hands.
Is that difficult to understand? |
|
By:
no its not difficult to understand,just hard to believe
