I'm just pumped for next season. CL and a title run. This is the best we've had it, we've got an amazing team of kids and the best manager in the league. Tonight's disappointing but I have real faith that we're here to stay. First year of many to come challenging at the top.

Not really bothered personally - title was gone weeks ago, and it's only because Arsenal have fallen away that we were even the closest challenger to Leicester. Chelsea were always going to play this game like a Champion's League final and even if we'd won, we all know they'd have rolled over for Leicester on the last day.

I didn't actually believe this, perhaps because I didn't want to, but I thought surely professional footballers would be concerned about their pride and wouldn't be so concerned about fan rivalry when they know each other outside of the premiership e.g. the Belgian connection etc..

But after seeing them run it into the corner at 2-2, I think even if we had won tonight they would have definitely let Leicester walk it

We're building the best stadium in England to go with the 2nd best training facilities (Behind City ). We're based in London.

We're set up to stay

My biggest fear is that we will find it hard to repeat this again, Kane will have to score 25+ goals again, Dembele will have to stay fit for the entire season unless we get a quality like for like back up, Dier will have to have back up as well, we need another striker and we need to get all this done before the first whistle blows next season so we can hit the ground running if we stand any chance.

Absolutely no way Chelsea (without European football) City, Arsenal, United will be this bad next season so it will be much tougher that's for sure, I imagine the points we have now will be required just for fourth, there are so many variables for next season.

That being said, I am immensely proud of our lads and I truly believe in my heart this isn't just a one off season for us and irrespective of what other teams do we can learn from our experience this season and be even stronger next season and I think Poch has changed the mentality of our club, all these draws and the losses we have suffered this year we will take into next season and improve upon, I am sure of it.

It is absolutely VITAL we get any transfer business done early so we are ready for the season and no long haul preseason games right before our first game, we need to be ready to go from minute one right until the end because every point counts.

Do I think we can win the title next season? Absolutely! But it will be much tougher than this season that's for sure, however I know deep down our lads are good enough to step up to the challenge. COYS.

After watching Hazard only turn up tonight for the first time this season and play his best 45 mins against us I am 100% positive that Chelsea football club is full of unprofessional scumbags.

That whole club, everything about them is small time and unprofessional and corrupt, they would have rolled out the red carpet for Leicester and frankly Leicester would have beaten Everton anyway in my opinion.

I just really really wanted to beat them tonight, we should have quite frankly, we are a better team but passion got the better of our players.

We will be in and about if we keep the team and improve the squad. Challenging it and hopefully have the nerve when it matters

People need to take a good hard look at Athletico. With the right manager and squad mentality, you can punch above your financial weight repeatedly.

We have that now.

I said from the start this would be a season too soon and experience would come in to play, but I am absolutely convinced after falling short, our hunger next season will be tenfold.

COYS!!!

Other teams need rebuilding....we don't. other teams need time to work with their new coach and new style..we don't.

A few additions to the squad is all we need, cover for Harry and Dier.,

We, unlike the others, will hit the ground running and i believe will be right up there again.

You seem to think that we will automatically survive the summer unscathed when in truth we are one good Euros away from losing Kane. Liverpool supporters talked about the Suarez side challenging in future seasons and that side didn't last past the summer.

This season was a massive opportunity for us, not for the league, that was never really on but for the cups. And we massively squandered that opportunity and next season will be even more of a challenge on that front given that we little chance of winning the CL.

We have been very fortunate this season to have had the elite clubs in so much disarray, we won't have that luxury again especially as most will now be managed by some of the games best managers. We may challenge again (if we can call our finish that) but it is in no way the given it is being made out to be by some.

I disagree with everything you wrote.

Kane is going nowhere this summer, even if he scores a hatrick in the final.
The league was never really on? how do you work that out? this is a wind up yeah?

Leicester have proved what you can do with team spirit, organisation,and heart, we have that and more, we have that and a top quality group of players that WILL challenge again next year.

I don't regret for a moment not winning a cup for what the team gave us, i am sick of being labled a cup side, this year our team filled me with pride the way we performed and CHALLENGED for the title...

You can't drag me where you are fella...

Self pity is one of the reasons we always miss out.

We need to always take responsibility for our own failures and keep improving.

The only players leaving this summer are those that MP agrees can go(regardless of how they act up). He has been told he has the absolute final say on every in and out, and the financials are completely irrelevant Harry Kane will be going nowhere even if he scores a hatrick in every game in the Summer.

One good euro away from losing Kane? if the super clubs don't know all about Harry by now then they never will. The lad is not going anywhere, no amount of money will prize him away.


This season was a massive opportunity for us, not for the league, that was never really on but for the cups. And we massively squandered that opportunity and next season will be even more of a challenge on that front given that we little chance of winning the CL.

Why was the league never really on? If we had won last night then mathematically we could still have won it with 2 games left to play.

By that token, every other club should have been just as fortunate? Why couldn't they capitilise like we have? Is it because we are a very very good team perhaps?

In short, do fuck off and take your negativity with you. Grow a set of bollocks.

We fucked any hope of the title long before this game, Leicester were as good as champions they just needed it to be official. Nobody thought we'd be in the mix this year so I'm incredible proud. We still have to finish the season strong, I'll be more gutted if we finish Third as us finishing Second was actually in the realms of possibility despite all the media's title mongering merry-go-round shit talk.

We have the foundations in place to completely dominate the English game in the coming years.

This season wasn't our only shot. It was merely a practice run.

My biggest frustration last night was drawing the game. Honestly wasn't bothered about the league situation cos I fully expected Leicester to go beat Everton next week anyway. I'm annoyed that we had a 2-0 lead and were looking comfortable at HT only to draw. Don't get me wrong, I felt like our players gave it their absolute everything and I am immensely proud of them.

As others have said before, there's been a number of crucial games that we should have killed off and didn't and in a season where we've only lost 4 times, 13 draws has been what's costs us. I'd also argue that whilst I love us being the youngest squad in the league, you need some experienced heads in there to help manage the younger players through these games. We need to be smart in the summer and sign some good young talent but equally, an experienced campaigner (possibly in CM) would be massively worth it IMO.

It's important to remember that we weren't even in this title race until the last 8 games of the season when we suddenly found ourselves in 2nd after all the other apparently elite teams didn't have the stomach to challenge Leicester. We've then had to put up with the Leicester city bandwagon bullshit from the likes of BBC, Sky Sports and ITV (anyone seen Good Morning Britain with their LCFC flags and mugs, fuckin embarrassing). In many ways I'm glad it's over and done with and we can just focus on finishing 2nd and looking back on a brilliant season.

Bright future ahead that's for sure.
