If Liverpool lose to Norwich and draw with Chelsea then City are back in it (assuming we don't screw up against WBA). I think Liverpool will win both games but a loss and a draw are plausible results.

During the 11/12 run in City were hugely boosted by United dropping points before each of City's tricky away games. If City were to kick off at Palace minutes after a favourable result at Anfield then I would expect us to beat Palace and go into the Everton game in the same frame of mind as when we won at Newcastle in 11/12.

If either Liverpool or Chelsea win their next two games then City will drop more points at Palace and/or Everton.

Embarrassing interview by Mourinho.

The goal chalked off because the Sunderland defender fell to the floor rather than challenging for the header.

Ramires goes up to head the ball. Sunderland player barges into him without even attempting to bother with heading the ball. Goal kick to Sunderland.

Azpilacueta slides to cover the cross, the Sunderland player moves his left leg about a foot to the left to make contact with Azpi and crumples to the floor. Ref gives pen.

Mourinho was right about the refs and Riley. They are shocking. But they are shockingly pro Liverpool, like they were shockingly pro-Man Utd, so that's okay.

But Mourinho was wrong about the Chelsea players leaving everything on the pitch. We just weren't good enough.

Did Mourinho mention the Ramires incident were he should have been sent off?

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:06 pm  

Ramirez should have walked

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:13 pm  

Yes, Ramires should have got a red card.

But the Sunderland player did go in late, did throw himself to the ground at the slightest contact and did go running to the ref straight after pleading over it.

Ramires should be banned for that stupid act. He probably will. But then so should Yaya Toure for kicking the Norwich player but he wasn't.
