We are winning the love, admiration and respect of our supporters, pundits, footballing fans across the world, sports fans, any intelligent sentient being...Crying shame we didn't win anything though.

I hear what you're saying but no one expected us to do this well this season. We were supposed to slip to 5th or 6th while the big boys got their acts together. I feel this is a team that is built upon defying expectations and hopefully this continues.Sad thing is, I just can't see us replicating this next season at Wembley or our first season at the new lane. Incredible achievement this year, such a shame that we end up getting pipped to the post by Chelsea.
Will be really interesting next season with the established top 6 all having to navigate European football. Over the last two seasons we've shown we can compete with that pretty well. Chelsea have benefitted massively this year in having a much clearer schedule.
We were poor against Leverkusen, and surprised by Monaco, but otherwise our games there over the past few years haven't been that bad.I would be massively confident for next year and then I think of Wembley ffs

Agree, and why I think we're well set for next year with all of the top 6 looking like they'll have European football.Jamie Carragher was really singing our praises last night on MNF. Said we are the best club in the premier, the one he most likes watching tactically and football...y and have been incredibly unlucky to have been duking it out two years running with sides who've not had European football. That it would certainly have meant Conte having to rotate, almost certainly losing key players at key times (like we have) and I completely agree.
Look at ManU, ManC and Arsenal. European football, all below us but some margin. Closest two teams to us, Liverpool/Chelsea, no European football.
Massive what we've achieved this year under those circumstances.

We'd be behind by a point?Just hold on for a draw and we're ahead on goal difference
Actually yes you're right I'm being retardedWe'd be behind by a point?
Title isn't over just yetCrying shame we didn't win anything though.
Sorry no, level on points ahead on G/d
Look, it's been a fantastic season, surpassed my expectations but I don't want us to be remembered as the best team never to win anything and Iam very sure if you asked Poch or the players they wouldn't like to finish their spell with us not winning anything.Apart from a shit load of games you mean?
