How are they gonna get 48 balls on the penalty spot? Unless they are putting them in the goal where he scored them... In which case the question is how they are gonna get 48 balls in the bottom left hand corner?

4 points behind united is still 4 points behind united. You can say well we were 4 points clear, but then you have to surely give credit for getting there in the first place. RDM's win record is still great, so i don't see how you can see, this game would have resulted in a definite loss etc. How do you know he wouldn't have upturned it himself. All you can say is we made the change and just got away it, so it won't have an impact on next season. If you scratch 4 points off what we have, then i can guarentee you there would be very little in the way of thanks for rafa.

Lol. Breaking News. Mourinho isn't God... Slow news day then.

Mata is going to win Player of the year surely. How young is young player of the year? I.e. Is Hazard young enough? If so he is nailed on for that. Goal of the Year. For me there are 2 big contenders. Luiz's screamer and Oscars goal vs Juve. For me, Oscars goal, as that was just an absolute beauty the way he skinned 2 players to work that angle.

lol... So you mean, there will be optimism at the start, filled by thousands of posts hoping for the possibility of getting back to potential, until the eventual moment where everyone gives up and just wants them out... And in this scenario is WhattheMata torres?

This has got to be the longest welcome thread in the history of TC.

Isn't that just Perfect.

Depends if we are talking Dream football manager type or more realistic. Probably something along the lines of Lewandowski Di Maria Lars Bender Subotic Would be amazing, but its probably not that realistic. Or swap Lars Bender for Gundogen.

He's done what he had to do. It hasn't been easy. And imo, we still would have got top 4 with RDM, so he hasn't done a better job than him. That being said, we have won a european trophy, got top 4 sewn up, lampard has got a new deal. I will never love rafa, but i don't hate him. I hate some of the things he has done this season, and his substitutions will always baffle me. Even yesterday we made no changes. But Hey ho, we got there in the end and it won't come back to bite us in the ass. I appreciate the effort. And we can now both depart, and go our seperate ways, us with top 4 and a trophy, and rafa with a bolstered cv, that will say something along the lines of "battling through the hatred to get top 4 and win a trophy". Both Parties content with how it ended, considering how things were looking a few months back. Lets end this chapter and start a new one, with the special one.

TBH, this is actually pretty true.

The window isn't even open yet. At least give it a chance, before your write it off.

Tbh, it wouln't surprise me to see any number of those 3 getting another extension next year, depending on how they play. Cole especially, as we don't have anyone really ready to take over.

Yeah because giving lampard a new deal means that the club won't do anything else all summer. And i tell you what would make our team worse... Thats getting rid of Lampard.

Considering how this season was looking very bad a couple of months ago, we now have got guarenteed top 4, won the europa, Lampy signs a new deal and jose looks like he is coming back... What an end to the season!

Thanks a lot for all nominations, and votes. All greatly appreciated. Congrats to others who have also won any awards. KTBFFH

Might have to be another Lampard 8 shirt next season..

OH GET IN THERE!!! SO HAPPY WITH THAT! GET TO SEE THE LEGEND FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Happy birthday mate. Have a good one

Thats not the best of thing to say to win "most liked". I notice you haven't voted, can't vote yourself, because that won't come across well, but can't bring yourself to vote against you... Decisions decisions.

Subtle.

Any news on this, or has it just gone dead in the last few weeks. Technically the window isn't open yet, so perhaps its done, just waiting, but haven't seen many reports.

Best game in a while FT. I still think we should try and take whatever we can get for him and run. But if he was to stay, (with Mourinho coming in), he would only get played when he deserved to and we won't go into the season with just 2 strikers. In which case it wouldn't be the worst thing ever. Still would rather get some money back and save some wage bill to make room for whoever we want to bring in. But still, credit where credit is due for yesterday's second half performance.

Might have to get myself a matching polo. And another picture for the wall. One without boswinga in the middle which will be a welcome sight.

Isn't it great to know we have at least another season to be able to piss people off with our European champions song... .
