I actually saw a lot of positives this season until we completely **** the bed these past couple of months.
Was thinking 'I'm just glad it's over' but we all know Spurs are going to win the Champions League to complete our humiliation.
Faaaaarrrrkkkkkkk...

Watched it at work and boy Arsenal were gutless there. Feel for the fans who went to watch that.

Yeah me too, but you can only paper over the cracks for so long I guess. Time just caught up with them in the end.

I don't think Chelsea are necessarily going in a better direction than Arsenal. Although for whatever reason relentlessly sacking managers and ****ing up their recruitment doesn't seem to stop them winning trophies.

Because they're about to lose their only world class player and can't replace him for nearly 2 years?

Kante is world class tbf.
But yeah I wouldn’t be massively optimistic about Chelsea either.

Haha, I guess they’re not super optimistic, but there is a bit of talk of positives and progress when IMO they look like they’ll get worse before they’ll get better.
Allegri is a better manager but would it be worth the cost of making the change if money is as tight as it seems?

Kante isn't world class in a midfield three with Jorginho and Kovacic, but yes I would agree that he is an elite player.
They've got a squad that reminds me quite a bit of the Pellegrini side just before Pep came in. Defence is mostly washed and need some serious reinforcement (wing backs especially), forwards are on the way out (City still had Aguero but the midfield was aging with Toure, Fernando etc). The main issue for them is that they cannot reinforce and even if they could would the funds be there? I suppose if they sell Hazard for Coutinho money then it will but they are in real trouble imo. Who is gonna create goals for them?

They will be replacing him with kids on loan at Championship sides this season, that will really hurt them. Can see them struggling to make the top 6 next season.

Thought Sarri was supposed to be off to Juventus?

Always assumed he was keeping himself busy until he felt the time was right to take the Real Madrid job.
