Big, big match tomorrow morning. Figures that it's the early game. Conte and company have done remarkably well, but I think the Blues' streak gets stopped tomorrow. Should be an entertaining game.

Wow, just wow. How did DeBruyne miss that bunny? Devastating counters from Chelsea. How 'bout Fabregas' pass to Costa? City's D speed exposed. Sane is VVG.

Son, what a volley! That PK call was cheap, but Spurs not leaving any doubts. Is Lamela hurt?

How about Sanchez today for the Gunners? A dream game. 2nd in the table.

Crazy game. Definitely worth getting up early. City had so many chances, I have no clue how Chelsea survived. I think Matic was sorely missed today, but Fabregas eventually did what he does best.

And Arsenal must be happy with the result too because Aguero is now suspended for that game in 2 weeks. Reckless challenge.

Helluva strike by Can. Another VG acquisition by Klopp. Mane's just toying with the Cherries.

Almost positive Can joined before Klopp. But ridiculous goal in a more ridiculous game.

You're right, my bad.

The Reds new keeper was bad, huh?

Eddie Howe will be the manager of a big club, probably sooner than later (Gunners?), or the national team manager. Just love what he's done for Bournemouth and his style of play. Sure, they'll go down in flames, but they don't turtle for anyone.

Aguero gets 4 game ban and Fernandinho gets 3 game ban after melee at end of Chelsea match.

ok, i just watched it. brutal tackle by aguero; completely deserved the ban.

i had to watch alexis' third goal again to get the bad stuff out of my head. he was clearly offside but brilliant footwork on that goal.

He and Fernandinho completely lost their minds (channeling Costa?) at the end. Inexcusable. Will probably cost City, big time.

Still amazed that DeBruyne missed that bunny. He converts that pass, what, 99 or 98 times out of 100? If he scored, best Chelsea could do was a draw.

One thing Chelsea is really good at is getting teams to lose their minds. Costa and Fabregas are just plain dirty and will poke and prod until the opponent responds. Unfortunately, but the time that happens it's normally too late.

Costa is in a league of his own. Helluva striker though.

City implodes. LC back from the dead? Huge win for the Swans. Big matches tomorrow.
