The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Matt]

I have two free ten pound bets.

I want to win some cash. Ideas?

City to win both halves?

David Silva anytime.

Not sure what odds they'll bring, mind.

[Summers]

Kun to score first with City to win 2 - 1 would make me 450 quid richer. Tempting.

[METALMAN]

I'm quite tempted to go for that one and I never bet.

I personally see City getting 3 or 4.

Also, is it me or were all the black Chelsea players and white Chelsea players in separate groups for the warm up?

[MJB]

Insert John Terry remark here.

Interesting line-up for Chelsea tonight, hopefully signs of how AVB wants the Chelsea midfield to be long-term. Could have easily brough Lampard back in, but Ramires is undroppable and Romeu+Meireles is the best pairing to go alongside him.

Really looking forward to this game. Two midfields with excellent passing skills and in-form strikers up front.

[METALMAN]

I think this could be a really good game. It's times like these I wish I had Sky Sports.

[MJB]

Fucking hell. Couldn't even last 100 seconds.

[Matt]

I'm calling it: Balotelli's getting a hat trick.

[Summers]

Thank god I didn't make that bet. Tonight is gonna be gooood.

[Baddar]

Fucking hell. Couldn't even last 100 seconds.

That's what she said. Nightmare start for Chelsea.

[MJB]

Petr Cech has PC1 on his face mask. Jeez.

[Baddar]

Yeah, he had it the first time he wore it I think. He's just accessorising everything now. What a twat.

[METALMAN]

what's PC1?

[Matt]

Petr Cech. 1.

[METALMAN]

oh so it is. legend.

[MJB]

1-1. Game on.

Meireles scores from close range after a good ball in from Sturridge.

Yesssss! Beautifully poised for the second half, this. Chelsea needed to level it up ASAP. Glad they did.

[Starvinho]

1-1 suits me very well, can't see it staying like this though. A couple more goals in this yet I think.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Shame that Chelsea have levelled it up, but hopefully we can play in the same vein as the first 20 minutes or so. Also, Merieles is getting a red. Calling it.
