Conte will be found out next season when they are on a level playing field with everyone else. It's up to us to take advantage.

The title is over now obviously and it's worth noting that indeed without us Chelsea would have been in cruise control since early into the new year.
We gave it our best shot but was never in control of our own destiny always playing catch up which is physically and mentally draining to have kept going like we did.
Our home form has been awesome and the best I've known in my lifetime and it's a pity our away form wasn't better otherwise this may have gone down to the last game.
As the season draws to an end I sincerely hope that we really draft in some quality game changers for next time out, and push on for bigger and better coys.

I think Pulis can do a number on conte and beat them

Then watford and Sunderland will both draw with them...

We win the league on GD with 86 points

Chelsea win this 8-0 we could beat them by 1 goal

They can never beat us on GD if we are level on points

That would be epic

Next season;

Must improve away form.
Must win at at least 1 of the top 6 away grounds.
Must improve the bench.
Must have incoming transfer business done by start of season.

(Must hope Leicester or someone doesn't take advantage of no Europe to screw us again!)

Number one priority is learning how to replicate our WHL form at Wembley.

Not too fussed if we don't sign anyone as long as no one leaves, especially signing squad fillers

I'd prefer incoming players to be signed before pre-season training, so that they have as much time as possible to settle into new surroundings and get to know their new teammates on and off the park.

They probably will and then just send him out on loan like the other 35 they have done previously.:)

It's about time there were rules limiting the number of players a club has on its payroll (or associated schoolboys) at any one time, including the players out on loan. Or maybe there already are such rules, but the authorities turn a blind eye to certain clubs breaking the rules.

If it wasn't for Wembley i'd be quite optimistic. Everyone is plagued with European football now. I don't think even Everton will get away with it. Still I think we'll get used to Wembley eventually and we'll be at least 4th which would be brilliant heading into the new stadium.

We definitely need to improve the squad though. A quick quality winger is a must as well as more pace at the back at Wembley. We need to get it absolutely right as every single one of our rivals will spend astronomical amounts. It will probably be £1bn between them.

As you said no fucking around from Levy would be nice but his track record regarding that is horrible. I suppose the reality is that we can't compete financially though.

Part of me is just glad the title is now over. We would all be having this false hope having to rely on shit teams like Watford and Sunderland to do us favours that we know never would happen. Even if we won every game, we wouldn't of won this league. Or say a miracle happened and Chelsea did drop points, I honestly still don't think this club has that winning mentality to push us over the line for the title. It's been a great season but let's be honest another trophy less one. Let's hope next season we actually win something because it's about time.

I remember betting on the top 6 with mates after our 4-0 against west brom

http://prnt.sc/f5r43r

As it stands despite our impressive run we have gained the same number of points as chelsea from game week 21

Just shows chelsea have been immense

Must figure how to score from corners and get the CBs to chip in with a few goals.

With 3 games to go, Newcastle trailed Brighton by 7 points...

Just saying...

In other news, I saw a pig swoop past by my 4th floor window this afternoon!
