Perhaps Roman wants Conte to stay on here and look after his business interests which is why he hasn't sacked him yet....

@Davey 8aby An excellent post regarding Eddie Howe. I don't quite see how he could achieve much more at Bournemouth, they are obviously not going to win the PL, and finishing much higher than mid table you would think would be exceptional on their budget, so how is he going to win anything unless he goes to a bigger club? It may be that Chelsea would be too big a step for him to take, but I agree it would be brilliant to see a young British manager given a chance. Eddie is an intelligent man and a keen student of the game and I hope one of the bigger clubs in the PL gives him a chance. Perhaps Everton now that they have better financial backing?

I agree. Tell you what can we do a deal, you have the PL title and we have the FA Cup? Looking forward to the game, hope it's a good one!

I don't think it is irrelevant though, psychologically it could have an effect on the team that loses, we shall see. I do hope for a cracking match though between the top two in the league, may the best team win! Our chances of the league are very slim, it's yours to lose. We only got going properly after the New Year, your team have been good pretty much all through, a credit to your manager, he has done a remarkable job in his first season in the PL.

Spurs fan here in peace. I think the outcome of the FA Cup game will have a big influence on the title, if you win that you will go on and win the league, if we win it all bets are off. I hope it's a good game on Saturday without any dubious refereeing decisions or any sendings off.

What a great thread! And what an amazing season it is, reading through the predictions made in August, they would be broadly in line with what most of the 'experts' predicted, and yet this season has seen most of those predictions turned on their head. I didn't make any predictions, but had I done so in August, I would have agreed with most of you. What Leicester have achieved this season is incredible, but I am pleased for Ranieri as he is such a likeable character.
