Special Juan

Last week Belotti, this week Lukaku. Just more scatter gun news hoping they get it right somewhere along the line.

No injuries, everyone is ready. Lets go win a title boys.

The sound of failure

It will be tomorrow.

I certainly don't think he will leave, what he has done this season has been quite brilliant. I said in another thread, he needs to be backed and with the cash and players HE wants, not what the 'club' want. Of course money is a factor whether it be a player or manager coming and going, money is life and show me someone who isn't money orientated and I will call bullshit, everyone is. But in this instance you have to look at a few things and see the whole picture. We have no idea what his family feel, and anyone who has kids/family will know exactly what I mean, they are you, they factor hugely in every decision you make and if for some reason they can't settle here then that is going to be tough for Antonio, no matter if they can be flown in and out at regular times, he will still miss his family. Conte is a very private man, you can tell that from his demeanor, and if his family for whatever reason can't settle here or even don't want to then that's going to be very tough for our gaffer. The club and Roman then come into it. They must back him and do everything possible to allow him to build a dynasty, and by doing so they allow him to make every decision as to ins and outs starting this summer. No more transfers that are forced upon a manager because they think it's right, the right signings, the right areas and the right sales. For a bloke to come in and now is facing at winning the double, winning the title in his first season and turning so called 'average players' into superb players says that that is enough CV scribble to back him every step of the way heading into the CL next season. Not just what he has done with certain players but as a club as a whole. He's likeable, he isn't a media dream because of him moaning, he celebrates like a fan and he involves himself because he's a peoples person. The Mourinho days are long gone and thank god because this club needed drastic changes from him and someone to arrive with an identity that was different and fresh, we have now got that and he needs to be cherished and allowed to do a job that he is fucking good at. Back him 100%, the guy is a class act and can steer us to great things.

I want us to win it on our own doing, I want fuck all from Mourinho because he will try and take every credit because he's an egotistical twat who always want the limelight. Win it Friday please.

2-0 us.

Carragher proper laying into Neville last night and calling him out about JM style and utilizing players with attacking talent into defensive robots.

How it was ever in doubt is more laughable.

The mentality of this team is sky high, we can touch and smell the trophy right now. WBA are a tough side but they won't be standing in the way of us here, we will outplay them and get it done. Come on Chelsea.

Proved a lot of people wrong including me, but I have always said I loved being proved wrong when it comes to this team.

He's as passionate as a fan and it's fucking great to see.

Like a cat playing with a mouse this one. Boro are woeful, possibly one of the worst sides to ever grace the PL. A very professional job done, Cesc was immense all night and it's now onto Friday. This team of ours have been brilliant this season, couldn't be more proud of them. We are so many miles away from that washed up boring side Mourinho had and this Conte fella is a breath of fresh air.

First big test.

Doubtful on Friday but I reckon they will be fine.

Puyel confirming VvD will play for Southampton next season....hope it's true as it's 50M saved.

Imagine if Conte had spent 200M which includes a 90M player, praying for EL success to a point you drop players v Arsenal and be in a battle for 5/6th.

I think Cesc will start.

My Facebook feed is going to be great later. Around about 7pm it normally starts with "UTFB(up the fucking Boro) or "Come on Boro beat these Cockney twats"

Feast or famine with this donkey Traore, lots of foreplay with no penetration....I'm more worried about De Roon than Traore. Anyway, he doesn't start much under Steve Agnew so let's wait and see.

Difference is we have 4 games left, 3 at home and Brighton had one with everything still to play for, massive difference. Of course it's not yet done but we couldn't be more in the driving seat if we tried.

Don't be worried, we got this.

Try being me living in Middlesbrough

Palace at home was one of the freakiest games you will of seen all season. Benteke's goal, two defenders collided and Zaha's goal was a shot to nothing that sneaked in. We battered them and if tonight our heads are fully focused this Palace game can be used as exactly the yard stick as to what can happen. The best thing that can happen is we score early, if we do Boro will cave and we will go onto score 4/5. After tonight we will be 7 clear.
