    A win hopefully. Stoke like ourselves have won their last 3 so won't be easy. Big chance for Traore. Let's hope he takes it.

    That goal is enough for me for this game. Nothing else, even if we drop pts fine.
    Baba provides amazing crosses.

    Eden is the worst in slowing down our counters.

    But you conceded after Fabregas came on and Matic went off. Cesc lost control of the midfield.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say <laugh>

    That is all

    Will take a point. Great to see Traore get another chance and he continues to impress. Not just the goal but he links up nicely with Willian & Hazard too. Would've been nice to have held on but they deserved one to be fair. Not sure what RLC is gaining from playing wide right though....

    For us to lose control of it we had to have had control of it in the first place.

    Well we should really be winning games like this, but I guess there wasnt much to play for but a thousand to one shot at a top 4 spot.
    Think the top 4 is cemented now though.
    Hope Leicester go on to take the league.

    How can you say top 4 is cemented when Arsenal and Spurs are just hitting the annual collapse? West Ham and United are well placed to step into one or both of their places :emoticon-0100-smile

    Cannot see any of the top 4 teams wobbling so much that they are ousted.
    Maybe Spurs :)
    Arsenal we say this about them every year.."Oh they might finish outside the top 4 for once" but they always manage to scrape in by the skin of their teeth, that is Wengers (only) talent.
    Leicester are too far ahead to be caught by West Ham or United.
    If City dont make top 4 with that squad, hilarious as that would be, Pellegrini should be taken out and executed by firing squad. He should be winning the league with that team, not battling for a top 4 spot.
    That leaves Spurs......
    Still can't see it.

    Spot on mate.
    Thibo should be sorted out. Awful season by his high standards.

    RLC position is ridiculous tbh.

    It amazes me that the Oscar penalty that should have been given hardly gets a mention. If that was at the other end, the forum would be in uproar. Strange that.
