All that "they play better football now" is nonsense. They are the same as ever.
A mate of my husband's is a Stoke fan and he's a bit of a tit tbh.

I think they had a brief honeymoon period of not looking like thugs but it's business as usual again.

Well disappointing game yesterday, for all our possession we couldn't get a second. Credit to Southampton they played very well. I thought it was a clear penalty however it seems referees are on the look out for diving at the moment. Our previous diving shenanigans cost us yesterday with perhaps referees told to watch out for our players diving.
Luckily Man City slipped up too so we were let off the hook, i think the title race is well and truely on now. |

We'll see more incidents like the Fabregas one if Mourinho doesn't tell the players to cut that diving shit out. It's embarrassing.
IF we do go for someone next month, what do you want to see? Back-up for Matic would be nice, but I think Id rather see another attacking threat to take the place of the frequently underwhelming Oscar/Schurrle/Willian. |

Chelsea 'diving' conspiracy?
I think Mourhino has a good point and it's the lack of consistency with ref's that the big problem.
How many times did Suarez throw himself to the ground at the slightest touch last season? 15 times? 20 times? At least those numbers. And did he ever get carded? No. He invariably won a free kick or even a penalty. If that had been Drogba several years ago, the newspapers would be full of 'diver!' headlines. But not Suarez. It's similar now, and it also happened with Torres. Remember the sending off against Man Utd?! A crucial game that Man Utd went on to win. For some reason there is a bias against Chelsea when it comes to penalties recently and there has been in the past. Why?I have no idea but I don't think it's paranoia on Mourhino's part. |

I don't believe Chelsea are being "victimised". But I do think referees are wrong to brandish a yellow card for diving if they are not absolutely sure about what happened. If they are not sure, just wave play-on and ignore the incident, that seems far more sensible to me. If you don't see something, you can't make a decision one way or the other. The referee in the Fabregas incident would have been just as wrong awarding a penalty as he was ignoring the penalty appeals if he didn't see it. But why compound his inability to keep up with play by giving out a caution ?
The Torres incident mentioned above by Tip top was a disgrace. Torres was on the receiving end of an awful tackle that could have put him out of the game..he ended up receiving a second yellow card and being sent off. I will never forgive Clattenburg for that one. It wasn't just a genuine mistake, it was downright dishonest and vindictive. |

Quite unbelievable I'd be fuming if that was a Utd player rocking up at City. |

Lampard could well come back to haunt us a take City to the title, the decision to let him leave is looking silly(or atleast to a rival)

The thought of back to back titles for city would be too much. Hopefully still time for this carling cup curse to kick in. |
