Applaud the man Great Ranieri!

I've long given up blaming Hiddink for the team selection, as i believe someone else (or a collective of individuals) chooses the line up, or that same someone ties Guus' hands on who to play. It is absurd how we have Tomori on the bench and yet we persist with Ivanovic. At least Traoré is getting the start, which is always nice.

Costa was and i forgot otherwise i was right.

Also, we're going to play with the new kit right? Hope as fuck we don't lose. Two losses out of two with the new kit is ominously worrying

Hasn't Guus said no youngster is going to start?

Bring this match on and then bring on the Euro and the summer finally. Been too long this season. Hopefully we can go back to our winning habits. Loud mouth Azpi-Ivan-Cahill-Baba Matic-Fabregas Pedro-Willian-Hazard Costa And let this be the last time i see this formation and that devilish back line.

Thank you for that one header you scored sometime at the beginning of the season. Now no more washed up players, thank you.

Imagine a team of 11 Oscars though.

Sign him up

That's awesome Go Guus!

Young player of the year. Another shocker

Got the POTY award. Who would've thought!

I think you meant to write -useful- got me confused a little.

I think it's a little premature saying "the board's offer is insincere." we don't even know the details of the new contract. Is it a possibility? Yes, of course it is,it would not be a surprise, but we don't know it for certain. The timing is a little bit embarrassing, could've been done earlier and set everyone's mind at ease. Also would earning 75k a week, as a 4th choice cb, be too much of a pay-cut? I don't really think so. The real dick move is cancelling the farewell party. Bloody cheap bastard didn't want to spend money on a proper cake.

Yes, this is definitely possible, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. In this case the club would come out "clean" at least in the eyes of those who don't follow closely. Although if this is the case, why don't do it earlier and cancel the supposed "farewell party" Now it's up to JT to sing the deal up. Fingers crossed.

Disagree, ideally he should be 4th choice behind a new cb, maybe zouma and/or someone else, zouma/ JCS or Tomori. He has become too slow and has shown a few deficits during the season, don't get me wrong, i'm delighted he 's going to stay but his role in the team should be definitely reduced as being the voice of reason and experience for next season. This is the perfect opportunity to blood one cb from the youth team, and with Terry staying we could think about getting rid of Cahill. At least in a perfect world. Guess we'll see what happens, fingers crossed.

A rare moment of lucidity! Now it's up to JT to sign it up.

I wouldn't say I'm upset at him. Nor Cech or Lampard for that matter. In José's case, we sacked the guy twice, he has earned the right to manage whichever side he wants in england, be it United, Arsenal or Spurs. Always will be a legend here, if he'll earn that status at United, oh well...our loss.

Matters little if he doesn't want to stay and/or unsettles the dressing room. Team over individuals is the most basic rule to build a successful side over the long term. There's no proof that he does unsettle the dressing room, however, should that be the case, the manager would do well to kick him out of the club personally.

Can't wait next season when we'll face United. Conte on one bench José on the other. Proper football match that.

Even last season's one was superb, with all the fog and Oscar twisting in hand in that awkward manner, and Costa puffing out his chest in a ridiculous manner and so on. It was pretty nice. Probably for next season we got that failed attempt at amateur porn because it was already known (by Adidas) we wanted to terminate the deal with them.

Good stuff. Hope the oily moaning little twat lands the Newcastle job, match made in heaven.

Undeserved. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance, as we played as a proper team after a very looooong time. Liverpool made it partially easier for us, but fair play to the boys. Matic is slowly getting in there, we need to keep him, had a very good first half followed by a poorer second half. Hazard has to show up for the entirety of next season before I'll even consider forgetting about the shameful season he has had. Abraham! didn't do much but oh well...more minutes please, as well as Traoré and Kenedy. RLC sub was a joke.
