So we finish the season a point above the soon-to-be Champions of Europe. Respectable enough.

Conte the new Inter manager apparently

3rd.

Incredible considering how ordinary this team is. That's an indictment on the league as a whole.

Felt a bit like a friendly, and 3rd place sealed. A good ending to what has been a very tough watch this season.

Jesus Christ, we have to be better than that if we want a chance of winning the Europa League. 

beggars belief that we finished 3rd when we play such dross; we were helped out by everyone else taking a dose of the wobbles but we finished ahead of better teams

Our attack is pretty bad.

It's just finishing now. We should have been 2-0 up at half time.

Leicester are a class team and we were better than them. Hopefully we can fix these problems in the summer as I think we've started to look good.

I think this is one of the worst end of season games I've seen in a long time.....sums up our season I think...

You must have missed last year’s 3-0 loss at Newcastle.

WE ARE 3rd IN THE LEAGUE

 

GET IN CHELSEA

It tells us more about your obsessive dislike of Sarri. Why not give it a rest for now? We’re in the CL and Europa final FFS. One can data mine to prove or disprove just about anything. Your comparison looked a lot better about 10 games back. What about the last 10 games? Last 5? Man U went on a tear when Solskjaer was appointed. That had precisely zero do with Solskjaer’s managerial ability. 

How did it look better 10 or 5 games back? United were even closer to us then, and Solskjaer only had them convincing looking for the first month or so.

At least we aren't United, they are so bad it's unreal. Ole isn't going to last long there.

The story of our season, some decent build up play, fluffed crosses and when they do come in not clinical enough.

Amazing today the back cramps that always appear in the 75th min for RLC  disappeared.

Below City and Liverpool we are all pretty average to be honest.

Don’t know if anyone has heard but Liverpool’s 97 points is the highest of a second place team, enough to usually win the league. Stop going on about it you arsehole commentators, second is second is f**king second. 30 years without winning the league. f**k them.

He won 9 of his first 11 games. Don't be obtuse. 

Look, Chelsea, Arsenal and United might have won the Premier League a few times, but have they ever had 97 points before? Sorry but I know who the real winners are.

Um, so you’re basically proving my point? Which is that the initial surge under Solskjaer skew the data somewhat?

So we are the best of the rest? That’s quite funny....

It’s quite satisfying to have given Spurs a chance to grab third only to see them spurn it, as expected.

Thank f**k for City. I have some major problems with City and their owners but at least they’re not Liverpool.

Quite a strong league though, no?

Thank f**k that this season is over...the football overall has been horrible to watch, I'm still scratching my head how we managed to get a top 4 spot, although the teams around us have been thankfully and surprisingly poorer than us.  We are miles off City and Liverpool but I'm sure the Board fail to see that with the players that they have bought in this year.  A big 'F' for the Board, and an 'F+' for the manager, both should be dispensed with in the off season together with half of the first team squad whether we win the Europa League or not.   I would gladly suffer a mid-table position and see the kids play with heart and passion than this lot we watched today and for most of the season.

Oh yeah definitely. One of the best if not the best I've seen in terms of overall quality. The fact that it's all English teams in both European finals shows that.
