Right, no messing around today City. Grab an early goal and kill the game off. No messing around, we know dramatic things generally happen to those horrible reds. Get it over and done with.

............please, please.

A load of bookies doing boosted odds on city winning which is not a good sign

Joel Garner take a bow. Best goal i've seen this year.

Any relation to the former Somerset and West Indies bowler?

...no its not. In Ladbrokes yesterday they were offering 8-1 on the reds being top at any time during today. Money was pouring on, most thinking that they get paid if the reds score first, but even if they do City will still be top. For that bet to come in the reds and Hammers need to be winning at the same time during the course of the afternoon. Must've have been some money on it because it was quickly reduced to 5s. Lots of money too on Carroll to score and Hammers to win 1-0 @ 200-1. Hoping all that dosh stays in the bookies satchels.

has there ever been an english top flight season where more than one team has scored 100? shows how poor the quality of the league is atm, especially defenders as 2 of the 3 best strikers in the league have missed half of it through injury and been suspended for the first 3rd respectively.

not seen the stat been mentioned, but as chelsea have the record on 103 in the prem, i doubt it's been done in that era. no way the kopites will fail to score against that gash newcastle team so it will happen.

didn't realise cole, terry AND lampard were all out of contract this summer. mourinho can't ship all of them out of the club surely? chelsea would lose it's identity and leadership.

wow....clicked on the Man City live match page on the Guardian to be greeted by what seemed a latest update showing Carroll scoring and West Ham winning...

I wonder if I could sue if I'd actually had the heart failure I almost had!

...my poor confused hungover head..

In the premier league era only once has the team in second place gone top at any point during the day. United in 2012.

Anyway, how about this for a goal to win a game?

samaras scores his first home goal for 13 (it was a pen), in the scottish league! that's appalling, but what a 24 hours that man/woman has had.

...strange that I've hardly thought about our game. Oddschecker will be interesting to monitor, City 1-66 the reds 16-1. I'll only be happy when/if they stop taking bets on City.
