Richard Parfitt:, external Newcastle fans booing one of the games of the season. What a negative club.
Chris Chin:, external Rodgers selection once again costs us points. Gerrard does not have the pressing or movement in the middle of the park. Awful.
Tom Chance:, external Lampard's late goals have directly earned Man City at least 7 points now. The title would be Chelsea's without him...

Chelsea XI: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa.
Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney: "We haven't spoken to him [Alan Pardew]. Keith [Millen] told us before the game he would be there and that gave us a bit of boost. He is an experienced manager and he is inheriting a great bunch of players. This team will do anything that is asked of it."
It says a lot that a man sitting in a chair is arguably the most exciting thing that happened at this game - the presence of Alan Pardew being the big talking point at Villa Park. Here's what Palace defender Damien Delaney has to say...
What a game! Mistakes, we've had a few, but then again, too few to mention...
Bolton manager Neil Lennon
BBC Radio 5 live at the Etihad Stadium
"The pivotal moment in the game was the Yaya Toure goal that opened the scoring. Sunderland were dogged, but once Toure scored, the game opened up - and Sunderland played their part in that. Man City come at you from all angles, though, and their attacking play in the second half was outstanding. It was a joy to watch."
The whistle is blown and Everton slump to their fourth successive defeat.
Lampard's done it again for City.
Steven Gerrard!
Over the bar...
Bolton manager Neil Lennon
BBC Radio 5 live at the Etihad Stadium
"Man City have been different class in an attacking sense in the second half. They could have had seven or eight, even more. The quality they have shown since half-time has been fantastic."
Kevin Kilbane
BBC Final Score
On Swansea goalscorer Wilfried Bony (16:47): "He is going to be heavily linked with a lot of clubs. He did sign a new contract but I think that is with a view to moving on."
You can go home now, Pards.
Charlie Austin somehow skews a shot wide when it seemed certain he would score and the referee blows his whistle, all over.
TP will be pleased with that spirited performance.
A third chance in as many minutes for James Milner but it's a tame effort at the keeper this time. The City stand-in striker is running around like the proverbial bull in a china shop, smashing into Sunderland's defenders.
INTO STOPPAGE-TIME...
Liverpool scramble one away...
