Some real prats in here. Slating him already without official proof. Yeah, 3 newspapers might have reported that but have any of us seen the interview themselves? Doubt it. Let's just wait before we take things out of context. I am sure he did not mean it in that way and that is if those quotes are even true.

Are you taking the piss or what? I think you are on a thin line already and that comment is racist and not funny. Fix your act up you prat. Other people can take your comments seriously. Absolutely no need for that, especially when you have Jamaicans on this forum. Fool!

WTF? Unless you are controlling Korea's account, how the hell did you assume I was responding to you??? This was a response to Korea's post, not yours. I remember not too long ago liking your post when you were going to your first Chelsea game and I think it was and that was the last form of notification there has been between us 2. When have I had a problem with what you have said? I may disagree with some of your posts internally but can you please remind me of when I have been "aggrieved" with what you have said because I certainly don't remember nor have I have ever "slated" your posts. Lmao, what a wake up call I have been awoken to. Being lashed out for something I have not even said. Have you realised I never quoted you yet and have never from what I recall ever slated your posts? LMFAO

Maybe because he has has an excellent season? Most importantly has proved he can do a job at either LB or RB. Azpi is a quality fullback and deservedly travelled with Spain.

Do you just post unnecessary stuff for the sake of it? That was not the point. The point is that he is getting into a team full of world class talent despite playing shit. Just wonder do you troll sometimes as you always seem to discredit our team or players.

There is always a debate on whether he is going to score goals against teams that park the bus. Some people like me think he will do it whilst others think he will struggle. Simple solution: Give him a chance. Also no way am I reading into the assumption that it was all Lukaku who pressed for the move. Like I said if Jose really saw him as a key player for his team he would of insisted he stayed but I reckon it was kind of mutual and Jose could not guarantee him starts. Think about it. We had 4 games before Eto'o even joined. Hull: played remaining 15 minutes (I expected him to start because he was our most prolific striker in pre-season and was our most inform striker in domestic level. Even though it was at a lower club against teams who 'don't park the bus' he still done more than the strikers we had on offer but who starts? Torres....) Villa: Sub again. Comes on around the 60th minute mark. United: Does not even come on and we have a winger playing upfront... Bayern: Ok. We have now had 3 games where none of our strikers have looked convincing but once again finds himself on the bench and guess what. We sign Eto'o as well. I don't call that being given a proper chance and with Eto'o being brought in and him not starting a game, he had all rights to be concerned. He said right from the beginning of the season he wanted to fight for his place but when you go 4 games without starting when you know you are miles better than Torres and Ba, who can blame him for wanting to leave when Eto'o arrived. If Mourinho saw him as a vital part of his plans he would have reassured Lukaku for sure. That did not happen and he has scored goals once again like most of us knew he would. He could have stayed around but in no way was he weak minded. He just needed to show Mourinho what he is capable of. Now like I was saying I hope he is around next season so he can show he scores goals against teams that park the bloody bus

This goal was my goal of the season tbh. Surprised this did not get a nomination. Was simply fantastic:

Reminds me of Lampard in his prime. Every time I see him play you just have a feeling he will come up with a goal. Looking forward to see what next season holds for him.

He won't be but he will be at a team fighting for all major trophies and he still will get his games. Who knows, if he is lucky might even partner Costa up front. But on our perspective we need reliable strikers and if that means keeping him here then so be it. City have clinical strikers as do Liverpool. We need them now as well.

11 of his 15 PL goals have come in the second half this season. Says a lot. Perfect back up/impact striker needed for us and on top of that he hopefully will get some starts to. Costa and Lukaku next season. Yes please!

You are thinking way too much about the idea of youths featuring this match. Kiwomya, Feruz, Hutchinson and most of the other youths are not going to be involved. Kiwomya is one for the future but you won't see him near the first team for a while yet. Same with the other two. It is a game Mourinho will want to go out on a high so he will field out a very strong team. You might see brief appearances for Baker and Swift possibly but in the actual 11 I would only expect Kalas to start from the current 'youngsters'.

Rumours like this are completely unfounded. For a start I know Thorgan Hazard will go out on loan again next season. As soon as I read Hazard in that list I knew not to take that seriously because I think it is quite obvious he goes out on loan in a better league next season. Don't get your hopes up with any rumours like this unless you hear it from Mourinho's mouth himself.

I was refering to 'MrBlueGuy'. But yes we were very close to glory but have fallen short which is dissapointing. Next season we will have a trophy for sure but by no means a disaster.

Yeah, not denying that. Just stating that we can't say Ancelotti has had a bad season when he has just fallen short of the league (it looks like) and has won our equivalent of the FA Cup and still might win the UCL which would cap a fantastic season.

I like Willian a lot and think his stats bring harsh criticism as imo he has done well and next season I think we will see a lot more from him in terms of goals and assists for sure but I would not link him getting into Brazil with form tbh. He has done well but players like Julio Cesar have virtually played most of this season without any first team football yet will find himself as no.1 keeper. Diego Alves does not even get in there. Maxwell gets in ahead of Filipe Luis while players like Henrique are in ahead of Miranda. The manager of Brazil seems to pick players based on how he feels they fit the national team rather than based on actual club form. Heard it from other people as well. A main Brazilian football researcher who told me that players picked are never based on meritocracy but instead other factors. Can't be asked to mention them. No discrediting Willian though. Just reiterating that I doubt it club form that influences who is picked but on the other hand if Willian was awful he probably would be sitting at home this summer.

Yes but they can also end the season with the Champions League in Ancelotti's first season in charge there.

FAYC champions Without Boga and Kiwomya as well. Arguably our 2 most important players in this youth cup team. Solanke has so much potential. It is frightening. He is not even old enough to be considered a 1st year scholar yet. He still has 2 more years left of playing in this tournament. Same with the likes of Dasilva, Musonda and Colkett as well IIRC. The talent we have in our youth ranks is amazing. That Roberts guy of Fulham was very impressive to. 3rd time in 5 years we have won this competition. Excellent

Mate, don't think I was having a go at you. I was simply making the same point as The Skipper. I wouldnt say we played entertaining football as a whole this season. I would say we have done what is necessary to win the game. This is nothing to do with the big games btw. I am talking about games against lower opposition teams. Do I think the football could have been better? Yes. Mix and match for me. Some games we have entertained and some others we have been a bit more cautious in our approach. My point about Arsenal was not a dig at you. I was mocking Arsenal mate. Don't take offense to that. However some of the stuff you mentioned is complete rubbish and overboard. I have not ever "demanded success". I have always said as a whole I am content with the season. Annoyed about the league because we won all the big games but flopped up in the ones we should have won. Where have you got any proof to say I am one of those who demand success. Chill out seriously. Yes, we have challenged for the league and fallen just short but like I said we are ending the season trophyless and most likely 3rd place. That is no way an overachievement let alone an achievement. But it has been a solid season where we have provided a solid stepping stone for next season. I still don't agree with your reasons for saying we overachieved. Does not make sense to me. If I had been demanding success you would have seen me saying this season is a failure. In the actual poll I voted that this season was neither a failure or a success.

I agree with some of the stuff you said here but to say we "overachieved" is stretching it. Have we had a decent season and improved from last season? Of course but you can't say we overachieved when we are likely to finish 3rd whereas most people this season would of assumed it would have been us and City battling it out for first and second place. UCL, we got to the semis, definitely an improvement but could we have got to the final? Yes, but unfortunately not but we certainly done the best out of all the British teams. FA Cup got knocked out and same with Carling cup. So we are likely to end the season trophyless. No way am I saying we overachieved. I don't settle of Arsenal's mentality of 'finishing top 4 as a decent season'. I expect more but on the other hand while his football may piss people off we now have (hopefully) a stable manager for the next 5+ years who will improve the team as the years go on and like yourself and Mourinho said this is a transition season and that is why I will not say we underachieved as well but if have had a decent/solid season. Next season onwards I am sure we will go from strength to strength and hopefully regain our league title.

That is a stupid question. I was born in London and have a Jamaican flag. Do you know how offensive that sounds even though you might not have intended it to be? Many members here may be born in a certain country but have another flag. My whole family is Jamaican and most of them born there but I was born here. I feel more Jamaican for that reason. Is that a problem?

He might be controversial but MrExcalibur is stating facts. Mourinho is despised by other rival fans. Just look at the comments on skysports and goal for instance when we lost our match against Atletico. People rejoice at us failing. I am not bothered because I don't care what other people think. But he is spot on. Wenger has not won anything for years at Arsenal but like people have said he has done a brilliant job over the years when you consider the resources they have compared to Mourinho. Like it or not it does look like Wenger will win a trophy this season with Mourinho trophyless. But I was looking the reactions when we lost against Sunderland, Atletico and compared it with teams such as Arsenal and he lost much more respect when he slated Wenger. Other fans/teams just hate us/Mourinho. I also think that is part of the reason Enrique of Liverpool made that jibe against us when we lost to Atletico. Mourinho is generally hated by non-Chelsea fans. I respect him as I think he is a world class manager even though some of his antics annoys me. But just wanted to state that people need to stop casually throwing around him being a "fake fan". Comments like that. He may be controversial but his aforementioned post is spot on. Can't see how others disagree.

Most of his goals have been fantastic, well taken strikes tbh.

Last game of the season. I would like to see us go out on a high so would still like to see a very strong team out there. Play couple of the youngsters if necessary but not too many U21s. I would like to finish above Arsenal on points and not goal difference so hopefully we still see a good team out and finish the season of with a win.

Mourinho just said the team who needs to survive did not play to win bloody hypocrite. Excellent manager but the BS he sprouts out is quite ridiculous and hypocritical really. They basically done the same plan against us what we done against Liverpool. I am not worried though. Next season we will be back with a bang but irritates me that the games we should be winning easily have let us down. Such a shame because with our record against the top 4 teams we should be leading that table. Back to the match not much to say apart from disappointing to think we could not get 1 past Norwich. MOTM goes to Cahill. Cole was equally excellent.
