love costa but watching eden's personal highlight as a cf makes me wonder  what  it be like if we had a ball playing striker, some one like kunt_aguero, with pedro and hazard flanking him

I think you are overestimating Kun's ball-playing/passing ability.I even think he is more limited/selfish in this regard despite being better technically. Costa on the other side has contributed multiple more assists this season and been working the channels, initiating counter attacks in a way Agüero would never even think of.

This guy is classy and knows how to treat and respect people.

No dis-respect to what Jose accomplished at the club.  His first spell actually laid the ground work for a lot of the success that came after he left, I really believe that.

But, conte is just putting his name all over this club in such a short period of time.  All the way from the pitch to the families of the back-room staff.

Very impressive stuff.  He wasn't my first choice before he was hired, truth be told.  But, I couldn't be happier to have him here.  thank Christ that the board don't listen to a word I say.  Best move the club has made in years.

Imagine we weren't 8 points behind after our sloppy start in September. The title would be ours already.
Hats off to this great manager who transformed us to a force in English Football again after that horrible season last year. With a few good signings I believe we are able to compete in the Champions league next season like we have to under normal circumstances.

Tough to say really. We've dropped only 8 points this season and out of those 8 points, the only time we shouldn't have dropped points was at Swansea. Had we won that, we would be 8 clear now, which is a big gap but title race would be by no means over yet.

In any case, I would probably only think the title win might just be possible if we still have a decent gap, say 6-7 points, at the top after the Arsenal game in early Feb (just a side note, Liverpool play all the top 6 sides by mid-March). Next month is a HUGE month for us.

Thought I shared this here. Would make Chelsea - Arsenal a very interesting fixture if Allegri takes over the Emirates. Conte vs Allegri.

There would be no story Conte is much better as a coach.The main asset of Allegri is luck.

Max Allegri was decent at Milan wasn't he? Won the title there in 2010 I believe. Then, Conte came to Juventus and the rest is history. I think Allegri is indeed in good fortune at Juventus thanks to what Conte did there a few years ago. Not saying Max is a bad manager. He isn't of course but I still rate Conte higher than Max. But either way for Arsenal it would be a huge upgrade because Wenger is finished.

Antonio Conte adds bounce to Chelsea at trampoline party for team's kids and gives staff personalised gifts

Heres the clubs Xmas party/ Looks like most are having fun. See Conte doing the rounds. I bet hes a really nixe bloke.

Look at the benifits these under 8s are getting. And we got to remember that some of the lads in the academy have been with us since they were 8. Only thing they dreamt of is to play in 1st team like theyre heroes. Only to be sent out on loan. Must be heartbreaking. But what an apprenticeship they got so they SHOULD have the skills to play anywhere.

Id give my left dangley to be at one of his meetings with Roman and or 'the board' to see just what is planned.

Didn't Wenger say he would "wait patiently" for a contract renewal? 

This would be the best thing if true. Imagine those plebs at ArsenalFanTV.

Lets not get too cocky. Lose against spurs City could be like 4 points behind or Liverpool 3.

[Adnane 1,101]

What did we ever do to deserve him ?

[Parky 739]

Hope Conte has something to say and work on in terms of our defensive concentration and organisation. Aollwing 2 goals at home to a shit team like Stoke is not good enough,
