I hope you go for the title next season and spurs play one I your rivals for the title. I would put out the kids just to get you back . Revenge is sweet as they say, the way you club said they would roll over for Leicester lacked class and has opened a can of worms for future seasons ahead.

03 May 2016 00:08:02
Raver, don't pretend your team wouldn't have done the same.

03 May 2016 00:08:06
you'd put your own kids out dude its a game of football maybe if you were a bit more humble fate may have been a bit kinder to you, no chelsea player said they would roll over stop crying because your lot lost there bottle and if you want revenge youll have to serve it twice don't forget 2012 when we cost you your cl spot 2nd still a great achievement though no doubt youll challenge again next year and who knows every club gets its day in time.

03 May 2016 00:08:47
Oh and talking about lacking class: your team became the first in EPL history to get nine yellow cards!

03 May 2016 00:52:45
I don't remember chelsea loosing titles and cups and reacting by gouging players eyes trying to kick them off the park all game and then to top it off shoving the opposition teams manager over at the end of a game to spark a mass brawl. But when you're not used to smelling success I guess you don't know how to react when more deserving teams win championships.

03 May 2016 04:41:15
In all fairness there probably should've been more yellows for them as well. Also lost track of how many "orange" fouls were commited by you guys.

03 May 2016 06:45:29
That Raver bloke is going to be even more bitter if Arsenal finish 2nd which looks likely if 3 of their thugs get retrospective bans. will also mean they could miss the start of next season.

03 May 2016 07:53:14
Raver,
You been drinking cheap wine again mate?

Bad case of sour grapes.

03 May 2016 09:07:12
Sorry, I must have missed something. when did anyone from Chelsea say they'd roll over for Leicester?! Give it a rest.

03 May 2016 09:09:43
Raver I know our players aren't exactly angels but your team was a disgrace today. How many disgusting tackles were put in the last 10 minutes alone? Showed their inexperience last night, absolutely bottled that second half. Think Hazard and Cesc's comments might have got to your boys. Also what a performance and goal from Hazard! 2-2 IN OUR CUP FINAL, 2-2 IN OUR CUP FINAL! Lol enjoy the rest of this season raver, we'll be back next year.

03 May 2016 09:39:13
Oh and congratulations to Leicester and Claudio Ranieri for an absolutely unbelievable achievement. Never seen anything like it and doubt we will again for a very long time.

03 May 2016 12:11:32
I still don't get why Spurs fans hate Chelsea players for saying they want to win against Tottenham. They want to win every game, and it's a derby. Of course they're going for it. Boggles the mind.

03 May 2016 16:13:36
Dier should of walked, and that prick dembelle.

02 May 2016 22:35:02
Have to say well done to the boys! 1st half was bad, but they really showed heart and desire 2nd half, and we were clearly the superior team then. Hazard made a huge impact, so that was fantastic to see as well.

Congrats to Leicester on winning the league. I'm not a fan of theirs by any means, but credit where it's due. They've had a great season, and they'll thoroughly enjoy it. Hopefully we'll spank them at the Bridge though :-P

Lastly, disgusting behavior by the Spurs players tonight. Their actions were inexcusable and how the referee didn't send off any of their players is beyond me. I'm hoping the FA take action and sort it all out. It looked like they were out to injure every Chelsea player on the pitch towards the end of the game. Really disgusting in my opinion and I've lost a lot of respect for them, not to say all of it.

02 May 2016 22:47:44
Yeah congrats Leicester. Shown us big teams up this season. As for us it proves our best tactics for our players is high pressing. And show some bottle. Costa although wasn't brilliant he plays with his heart. So does azpilicueta. We need to keep these two. Hazard played with his heart and I thought Matic tackled everything tonight. Mikel ivanovic and Willian frustrate me far too much.

02 May 2016 22:54:07
Hiddink, Begovic and Lloris are the only people involved that kept their dignity all match. I don't like losing, but I hate seeing loss of control. That match was borderline. Credit to Pochettino for his frank, honest and humble interview post-match.

02 May 2016 23:11:06
Loved it when Willian showed off his gold premier league badge to the Spurs players.

03 May 2016 06:47:49
Do you see what i meant now Jackson in a post some while back about the rivalry between Chelsea and Spurs?

03 May 2016 07:03:52
Yeah I do now, G8. I've never seen it like that before. And frankly, I don't want to see it again quite like it. Some of our players could've been seriously hurt by their tackles. Especially Dier's on Hazard and Lamela's tackle on Fab were shocking.

02 May 2016 22:04:44
I've now forgiven Hazard for being gone all season. THANKYOU EDEN!

02 May 2016 22:20:22
That wasn't his fault as well as it wasn't other players fault, they were simply burned after previous season.
Ask yourself how come no club succeeded to defend CL title. Nowadays football is much more complicated compared to football 20-30years ago.

02 May 2016 22:23:49
Antibot once again what are you talking about? Going completely off subject?

02 May 2016 22:24:26
The way Tottenham players played this match was disgraceful. After non fair play show tonight you don't deserve the title. Simply not sportsmen enough. Disgraceful performance.
They should be ashamed .

02 May 2016 22:27:45
Do not judge the players if you have no idea what was happening with them. Just think a little bit.

02 May 2016 22:30:34
Sorry, that was reply to raver.

02 May 2016 22:35:18
As if any of the season is hazards fault. Blame mourinho for being such a poor manager.

03 May 2016 09:13:42
Why is it Mourinho's fault? He's the best manager we have ever had. At six figure salaries the players take the blame. Mourinho could not possibly become a 'bad manager' inside six months.

03 May 2016 10:17:03
In some very small part it was down to Mourinho, he played the same players all over again without rotation. BUT it's much more down to situation that was created exhaustion and psychological melt down of almost all players. Things like this do happen. Next season will be much better!
HAVE FAITH!

03 May 2016 12:20:59
Agreed there must be a collective responsibility but "created exhaustion and psychological melt down of almost all players", they won the league that's all, had a pre-season extended break but as professional, highly paid players, they should return to training relatively fit which a number did not. The team was good but not as good as their title win might have suggested and they needed a couple or three new faces to create competition the exact words Mourinho said after he left BUT whomever, decided Pedro, Rahman, Hector and Djilobodji were the answer. We may never know the answer as to why a manager left months after signing a four year contract but I always suspected it was not Mourinho and the team but him and the management that impacted the team.

02 May 2016 20:54:23
I can't believe I actually thought we had a chance to get something off Spurs tonight I forgot how useless our team is my good god this is so hard to watch as soon as ivanovic gave the ball away u could see he goal. Ivanovic has to go matic has to go Cahill has to go mikel pedro Costa heck sell the whole team at this stage it wouldn't make a difference . people say William is player of the year for any of that crop to accept player of the year shame on them none of them have stepped up this season they have let all of us fans down badly really really gutted fan at the point I can't say any more.

02 May 2016 21:52:11
Have faith.

02 May 2016 22:02:08
At least they showed heart and fight tonight in the second half was a great game full of rivalry I love them games u don't see them a lot these days . I hate the spuds haha well done Leicester and ranieri well deserved . Let's hope we're back were we belong next season cfc til I die.

03 May 2016 09:16:47
What a difference to our play when we attack or counter attack at pace. We have to get away from this tippy tap passing backward sand forwards in front of packed defences. Spurs got complacent but when we upped the pace they struggled to contain us and of course rash tackles followed.

As we are arriving at the 'silly season' when speculation and outrageous rumours occur here is an off the wall test.
Conte has a list of high value players and has been told he can buy four:-
Bazoer Riechedly
Bonucci Leonard
Griezmann Antoine
Higuain Gonzalo
Icardi Mauro
Lukaku Romelu
Manolas Kostas
Nainggolan Radja
Neves Ruben
Vidal Arturo
Who would you pick?
However, he is expected to sell three of the following to help finance your picks:-
Azpilicueta
Costa
Courtois
Fabregas
Hazard
Willian
Who would you sell? For the sake of argument forget fees, just four in means three out.

02 May 2016 14:02:44
I would buy:
Vidal, Griezmann, Bonucci and Lukaku.
I would sell:
Courtouis, Costa and Willian.

02 May 2016 14:50:06
Bonnuci, Vidal, Griezman and Icardi in. Out Azpi, Cortouis and Costa.

02 May 2016 15:39:11
Are u mad . sell dave and Willian.
Best player this season and a player who has played out of position since he has arrived and always been constant.

02 May 2016 15:52:01
Out; hazard, Costa and courtouis as I don't think they have the ability to want to play when the going gets tough. There is no smoke without fire and these are constantly linked with moves away.
Ins: greizman, higuain, varane and kante.

02 May 2016 16:01:34
Wheely. you need to read the question properly. A list was given and you had to choose 3 players to go. As there is no way i would sell the others it becomes a process of elimination!

02 May 2016 16:40:52
4 in would be lukaku griezmann Vidal and bonnuci
3 out would be Costa hazard and maybe Willian. I wouldn't want to let him go but he doesn't reall for the 352 formation.
Ideally instead of Willian i'd flog Oscar and pedro and with that money of 4 out of the club I'd like to buy neves. I know that's bending the rules slightly but that's what I would ideally do.

02 May 2016 17:00:55
Again your mad.
Hazard doesn't want to be there 1.
Same with Costa 2.
Nor does courtios 3.
Dave and Willian do. Keep!

02 May 2016 17:42:49
Sorry guys, but there's every possibility that could lose Willian. Off course Willian would fit any usual formations that Conte is using, simply offer from China is too tempting (in 4 years in China he can earn as much as 20 years playing for Chelsea) . Interest in Hazard has been dropped at least for fee demanded from Chelsea (let's see what will happen after EURO) .
Courtois is candidate number one to leave if any of two Spanish giants come looking for him+ he wants to continue his career in Spain.
We don't have a luxury to sell Costa but to get Griezmann the only way might be to send Costa in other direction. Oscar and Cuadrado could be used in attempt to lure Pogba to Stamford Bridge ( will he decide to join Chelsea is a BIG? ) .

02 May 2016 17:57:03
As I have said many times football is about perception and we are all different; it will be certainly interesting as to how close some of us are. Although the list could be wider I think there are a number within that we are seriously interested in. My choice in: Vidal and Bonucci. I think their style of robust play is what Chelsea supporters like and they could become major favourites and gives the team some steel. Griezmann because he score with either foot and his head and similar with the more robust Higuain. Out: Costa because a) I never felt he wanted to come and b) we cannot have this threat he brings with bookings etc. Courtois because I am also convinced he came because of the loan deal and never wanted to really leave Spain. This is the tricky one and I will say Hazard. The reasoning there albeit I think his style of play is better suited to the EPL than any other league, something is going on with him not just injury and fitness and like the other two, out if he doesn't want to play for us, out. However, if his issues were resolved and he was genuinely committed I would keep him to play alongside the others I mentioned and I would sacrifice Willian. Our best player amongst a poor team and as much as I love his work rate, I really do not think we will get much more out of him.

02 May 2016 18:34:38
Greizman Bazoer, Vidal, Icardi
Courtois, Costa, fabragas although I really think fabragas will come good again next year.

02 May 2016 20:25:04
In: Griezzman (for obvious reasons), Vidal (biggest need in our team is a box to box midfield man to cover more ground), Lukaku (really high cieling and would provide competition as well as top class competition for Costa), and a centrehalf (of the players were linked with I'd prefer Marquinhos or obviously Varane) .

Out: Dave, Willian, and Fabregas. This might not be popular but Courtois, Costa, and Hazard are world class players in premium positions and one/ both of those statements can't be said about the three I chose to sell.
