I don't think that's even necessary. The post itself displays obvious sarcasm. Particularly with the ManCity bit.

A very moment from RP.

Thanks. I thought so, but you can never be certain how voice tone comes off in text!

Final answer, or would you like to phone a friend?

Chelsea

Bloody hell, they're good at the moment!

They could seal the title before April.

Unlikely...

They've hit a rich vein though and I wouldn't be surprised if they start to pull away from ourselves and Utd now. Its theirs to lose.

Ancellotti seems to have struck up the right balance between maintaining possesion and dominating the midfield and being ruthless in the final third.

Certainly think that Chelsea are joint favourites for the CL if they can keep this form up.

They beat Brum and Sunderland at home whoop de fucking do. They've got a shite away record and that's where their problem is.

Been agreeing with you a lot lately

That generally means that you're wrong...

RP is never wrong

You just have to watch the style of football in those two games to realise that they're clearly in form though.

Sure, against more resilient opposition the scorelines might not have been so flattering but since Cole has returned they've been noticeably more cultured in their approach.

I'd like to see them youse that cultured approach against us

Without Drogba.

You will lose to those teams without rooney.

Rather than beating us 3-0 on our own turf; ie, away from home, you mean?

Please, did they adopt a gung ho approach that day like they have in recent games?

Nonsense. Our record without Rooney is fine.

People just overate Chelsea constantly. They just had a super terrible run of form ending with a fortunate 2-1 win at home to Fulham. Since then they beat Preston, and two home games v Brum and Sunderland suddenly they're unstoppable again and on a great run of form.

Last two games in prem

7-2 and 3-0

United 4-0 and 3-0

So GD +8 Chelsea +7 Man Utd. Both got two wins. Difference? absolutely none.

Drogba was gone so fucking what.

Arsenal have RVP out. United had Vidic out. As important as Drogba.

By the same token, you were very quick to write us off as 'over rated' and 'finished' after a couple of draws.

Our record without Rooney is fine.

Let's see if it happens first.
