Just incredible run... ???
Its unbelievable what we've done! I reckon that had we got conte in the summer we would comfortably be third and within touching distance of pool and city. As it is, since matchday 13 we have 12 pts less than city!

With some monet to spend and a full preseason, we could be in the race. Perhaps not win it, but in it!

Cannot overstate the importance of that NLD.

From our perspective it wasn’t just the 3 points, it was the manner in which we won and the fact that we did it when the pressure was really on

the manner of the defeat completely messed with the goons‘ heads IMO - they got stuffed 3-0 and as Garry Neville said they were brutalised by our fans in that stadium. It was loud, mean and nasty from their perspective and they took that fear into the Newcastle game.

They went into the Newcastle game mentally f****d because of we did to them on the Thursday night
Quite simply, when the big games have come we have been better than the scum. That is the conte effect.

Our studium is built to be intimidating, I’d like it to be a grim place for other teams to travel too as it could be worth so many more points each season.

While we can all appreciate the job Conte has done, and that this would never have happened without him, I still think this has been a titanic effort by the players.

Especially when you consider the amount of injuries, sickness, and general fatigue in the squad. We have the likes of Bentancur, and Kane, playing with injections. Dier and Davies ever present in the last few months. Hojberjg too not missing a minute of playing time. I think everyone has been immense this last couple of weeks, and they’ve all done themselves proud to have turned it around and qualified.

We outperformed my expectation, made when Nuno was in the big corner office… which was 5-6 but from the minute Conte took over I’ve been certain we’d get 4th. Post Christmas we’ve been superb, and fun to watch.

Mad we finished 13 pts above United and they beat us twice. Genuinely no idea how that’s happened.
No. Ronaldo beat us twice. Utd are shit. If he didn't play we would have beaten them twice.

If we played them 10 times in a row now, we beat them 8 times!

Didn’t expect Champions league football for a good few seasons yet and still didn’t believe it until the third goal went it. Conte is one hell of a manger that makes players better, gives them belief and sets a winning mentality. He must be backed and given what he wants this summer. If Levy mugs him off we will be set back a few more years again. Over to you Levy

I don't think fourth was ever on the table until Conte came. Even then, it was never likely, but this run we've just had has been amazing.

Crazy that in the end we only finished 3 points behind chelsea. Especially after the results in performances in the games against them this season.

That is on pace for 87 points for the season. And, that puts you in the conversation for the league title. Its still a little short, but you are in the conversation, and that could change the trajectory of a few games down the stretch.

Now, imagine the core of this team, which is already drilled on Conte's tactics, and you add a handful of players who improve the overall quality of the team. Now is the time to dare. Now is the time to do.
