Their poor finishing doesn't make us lucky. They've done it all season and they did it in their last match against us in our stadium. If they can't take their chances, that's not out problem. We could have killed the game ourselves if Hazard had put away that one chance at the top of the box. But ifs don't win you football games.

More likely he goes to Madrid if Zidane gets the sack next season or the season after (which isn't unlikely if he has a sh*t season) but that's just me theorizing. As for Barcelona, it's extremely unlikely if not impossible that Pochettino would move there. He had a long career with Espanyol and managed them as well before he went to Southampton. He said it himself that his ties to Espanyol means he'd never want to manage Barca.

Tbo isn't going anywhere. He's actually just broken up with the girlfriend who's been pulling him towards Spain. Add his comments a few weeks ago effectively shutting down this rumour and there you have it. /thread.

Kante and Verratti in the middle, we'd never win another header there.

Has a lot more qualities Immobile could only dream of having. With all the qualities the kid has, it'll be hard for him to drop off completely. Dip in form here and there will definitely come but he looks the real deal.

For f**ks sake...

Pep-Conte is really turning into another Jose-Wenger, isn't it? So far, the only goals they've scored against us are goals we gifted them. Also, Pep must get headaches every time he has to visit the Bridge. The only time he's won here, he needed the biggest ref job in the history of football. And he technically didn't even win the match in an of itself but that's another story. I'd love it if Conte keeps getting the better of him even when they're stronger next season. Amusing case of pragmatism winning over idealism. Much like Jose vs Wenger in the past. Conte's practical enough to know we aren't going to f**king beat City at their own possession game and relied on our counters which we've used efficiently for most of the season. Neat job. 2-1. Next.

Fair enough. based on what I've seen, I'd spend that £60m on him instead of Lukaku.

Especially seeing as he's an incredibly sh*t dribbler and isn't the fastest bloke on the pitch. He should be looking to lay it off and get into open spaces.

Didn't think a Chelsea fan would make the mistake commentators make of mistaking Kante for Conte.

Wouldn't play 3 small players against that back line mate. I reckon Costa will get a tap in at some point.

It's not like Mitchy offers anything better.

Terrible error from Tbo but good recovery to regain the lead. I think we're doing alright so far.

We'll smash them by 3. Put a tenner on it.

I have a terrible feeling Zouma's going to concede a penalty or do something stupid.

How is it that BT have Slippy G and Rio for this match? Couldn't they contact Frank or Ballack?

Doesn't matter. A one legged Kompany is still miles ahead of Otamendi.

Kompany starting is not good news for Diego.

Azpi at RWB, Zouma at RCB

That's not true. Our loss to Arsenal was at the Emirates. EDIT: It is in fact London. I'm having a mare.

4-1 Chelsea Hazard (x2), Costa, Alonso | Sane Put a tenner on it.

Why do you lot keep predicting a 4-2-4 when we haven't played it (for more than 10 mins) since September?

Think we'll win this one. Also won't be surprised if Swansea somehow pull off a draw.

Just listened to Ray Wilkins on talksh*t a few minutes ago saying it's likely Conte wants to bring in Andrea Pirlo to replace Steve Holland as an assistant in the summer. That would be a great addition to the backroom staff.

Nothing rumour tbh. No reason Juventus would want to sell their first choice and one of the best in the world at his position to us.
