If we were in a title race of just us and Tottenham while being 16 points behind them to make it 13, I wouldn't be happy with our players celebrating on the field. Certainly not one like Pogba who's been absolutely dire for a majority part of the season. Pogba has done nothing decisive yet, he scored 2 goals against a complacent Man City who had little to gain that match but an early arrogance trophy to flash at their home rivals. Celebrating like that was just embarrassing quite frankly, crack on with your job win things and then you earn the right to celebrate, not just turning up for one game every few months.

Being a bit harsh there Val, overall this is a good forum even if you do get the average idiot. I think given the circumstances our fans have been pretty level-headed this season, seriously compare this forum to TalkChelsea and you'll know what I mean.

Irritating twat, it's all about him, I would actually hate it if he won things, imagine how much of a detestable c**t he would be then. Your team came 2nd in the league and you were miles behind them, you've still not got a trophy to show for this season, why are you so happy? I don't care if it's a derby it's embarrassing. I would honestly want to put this season behind me if I was a United fan or player.

City have just had the greatest season they've ever had and probably will have for quite some time (I doubt they'll be this dominant next season, teams will improve around them, retaining your title is much more difficult) and they still haven't won the Champions League or been impressive in it. They're so dominant and they've won 2 trophies, they could have done better in my opinion. It reminds me of Pep's Bayern, they were awesome and dominant but still never won the Champions League, the only trophy that actually mattered at Bayern at the time. Pep has a hard job retaining this next year, not saying he can't do it, he definitely can he's got great players but there is a reason why nobody has won the league back to back in quite some time.

You're joking aren't you? Pep is just as bad as Jose if not worse

That's the case with De Gea on about 60% of his saves, he makes them look a lot better because he's smaller. Aguero's header was actually quite poor if that went in it would've been the keepers' fault. But no as soon as he makes a save like that the commentators have to say "Best keeper in Europe for me", he's probably the best keeper in the Premier League but f**king hell calm down.

De Gea made a save any keeper taller than him would've saved but the commentators are w**king about it.

Lukaku with another sh*t touch

That's why these high tackle rules are stupid. Refs will not make those calls in big games, only in smaller games with less atmosphere.

Lingard has got the most punchable face in the league, absolutely detest that c**t

f**k PED Guardiola, always happy to see that tosser get exposed.

Not just Conte, literally every side in the Premier League but Liverpool. And in this case United.

Offside, marginally offside but still offside.

If you're a football fan before a Chelsea fan I don't even know what to say.

I have no idea, the bloke seemed like a bit of a troll to me anyway.

Yes but after 25 Premier League starts you would think at some point Conte knows this isn't going to work right now. Meanwhile, you've got Danny Drinkwater on the bench who has played much better and oddly enough only performs in the big games. As for saying they're pro footballers they should just get on with it, again that's not really taking into account modern football. Football is much faster paced these days, you can't simply just deny fatigue when it's definitely a thing, a player can get tired from excessive training. With the growth of sports science in near enough every major sport especially this one, it's bound to take it's toll on players today. Yes, you can point out the times when Lampard played a 100 games in a row but football has massively evolved since those days, remember when Cesc Fabregas ran past the full Spurs side and scored when he was 19/20? Yet in the past 3 years he's been our slowest player. I do mostly agree with what you're saying but I massively disagree with your last paragraph with the exception of one thing, yes it's hindsight, it's massive hindsight. Costa had to go, he wanted to go, what did you expect Conte to do? Offer him a new contract? The bloke made it quite clear he didn't want to be here anymore. As for a mean partnership, we haven't played in a formation with two strikers since 2009, those days are long gone. I also would have hated to see Costa and Morata playing together personally, but that's my opinion. Unless you mean rotation wise, well the only way you're keeping Diego is if you give him a big fat cheque, so Diego sits happily on the sidelines and does what? Nothing? Meanwhile, we would have ended in the exact same situation with Morata. I don't see how the Costa situation could have been any different or better if he had stayed given the repercussions that would've happened if we managed to keep him, I think you have to write that one off I'm afraid.

It's okay I was a bit guilty of it too, but then I found out you don't even get a secret ending if you complete all the missions like you did in Wildlands. So as soon as I heard that I instantly stopped what I was doing (Fishing and collecting f**king baseball cards for somebody) and went on to fight Joseph Seed.

Going to play devil's advocate on your points here, this is pretty much my outlook on it, somebody in the middle. Individual errors, Actually, I think a manager can definitely take the blame. A prime example of this would be Bakayoko who is a disaster waiting to happen every time he plays, yet he always plays, why? This guy is making mistakes and he's starting game after game... That is definitely something Conte can take the blame on, consistently playing an out of form player just like Jose can be blamed with Ivanovic. Injuries, How do you know he's not responsible? From what we've heard Conte runs a very hard training regime where he always has the players training at 100%, this could have been the reason for us looking very tired on the field and getting an awful lot of hamstring injuries this season. Squad Strength, I fully agree, we are still in the dark about it but it's a pretty fair estimation given all the sources and interviews. His attitude, again I fully agree, only he can be blamed for his attitude and it has been atrocious. How can you expect to win things with such a defeatist attitude, I don't care what hand he's been dealt with, you can have half of your squad sold and club going into administration but if you don't try to be optimistic you'll have no chance of having a good season. That right there is his biggest downfall, and it's quite evident that he's looking after his stock more than he is this club, he's having battles with the board. Tactics, He's been hit and miss all season tactically, and that's not a good thing. For a manager you have to near enough always tactically consistent, you can be tactically consistent and lose games. However, Conte has made so many ridiculous gambles where it has cost us. Every Arsenal game he set us up wrong and too negative, even the first game when we put Fabregas in midfield we should have been more physical. We've bullied Arsenal for years under Jose, they were our bitch, now that's completely dissolved, we just let them do what they want to us. Don't even get me started on being tactically outdone by Roy Hodgson and David Moyes. Players under-performing, Yep definitely something going on here, but a manager also has to put his foot down or he'll get walked over. But it's hard for me to give Conte the benefit of the doubt here when he's constantly belittling the players in the press. I love a manager who actually clamps down on players, I loved it about Jose even though he kicked out some stars, it's what we lack in modern management. But fundamentally it's a managers job to get the players performing and from a blunt perspective he just isn't doing that is he. Fall outs, I don't know what to make of it. Costa, I don't fault him for at all, I saw Costa for what he is, we all did last season. That bridge was never going to be repaired unless we overcompensated him and no player deserves that. Blaming him for Costa and saying "well he could've done better" isn't looking at the bigger picture enough for me, watch Diego last season and his form dropped because he wanted to leave midway in the season when we needed to wrap up a title. That tells you all you need to know about him. As for David Luiz you might be right, you might be wrong, we don't know enough about that one. A manager does need to put his foot down and discipline his players so I'll give Conte the benefit of the doubt, however like I said in an earlier post, it's hard to do that with his press conferences.

Yes but it's not like Klopp has been spending no money, they signed a 75 million pound centreback and what have they won? We signed Victor Moses for 9 million, Conte reverted him to a wingback and we won the league, he contributed. We signed Alonso for 24 million who wasn't a top target for all the big clubs and he's been excellent for us.

The thing is City didn't get an away goal and Liverpool will score, it's just inevitable. If City got even 1 away goal there was always a chance but no matter how many goals Liverpool concede they'll score enough to go through, it's definitely Liverpool's round now.

It's because of MMO's mainly, they've made a sh*t load of money from doing it for years before so many people knew about Microtransactions. Elder Scrolls Online are terrible for it, they make it impossible for you to level up so they release these XP scrolls for you to buy just so the grind is easier and you can double your XP. But the worst part is it wasn't always that way, it was easier to level up then things significantly got harder on an update so they could con people into buying sh*tty XP scrolls. That was the main reason why I stopped playing that game.

I've always loved Ray, seemed like a humble canny bloke. Even if you had your differences with him on opinion I'm still gutted we released him from the club, I think that had a big impact in 2010.

Not at all, that's what I mean it was ridiculous, they couldn't play on the same day as Hillsborough so we had to play a fixture 48 hours later. In the space of 8 days we played Liverpool, Spurs & Barcelona. But what the scousers want the scousers get.

And that was all because of f**king Hillsborough!

Scary isn't it, have you seen how cheap the Witcher 3 game of the year edition is also? The DLC's are cheap as chips and they're like brand new games on their own they have that much content in them. What I do like about CD Projekt Red is that they're aware of how bad game companies are ripping off consumers these days. The leading director of Cyber Punk said Microtransactions are a definite no and an insult to gamers. That right there earns instant respect, I just hope their online features won't in any way downgrade the single player features that they have for the upcoming Cyber Punk game.
