    If you say so. Conte is still a big pull. We only won the title last year too. Of course no CL is a big hit but we'll be fine getting the right players.

    Conte is not as big as pull as Klopp,Guardiola,Mourinho or Wenger though. Done a great job at Juve. But Conte by all accounts has outdated training methods with lots of running which players don't like. He will target some Serie A players who could well struggle in the PL too. Serie A is a much different style of football I think Conte will struggle. Unless players like Matic & Costa in particular improve. Hazard I expect to be back to his best.

    Both Chelsea and Liverpool have no European games so that could be an advantage in the league, far too unpredictable just now though to state facts, Lpool could quite easily finish ahead of Chelsea with a couple signings, or it the impossible happens and Sturridge stays fit

    Real Madrid in another Champions League final in these 3 years after struggling a decade to reach it. They're were they belong again. Just few hours left. #AporLaUnDecima!

    you can't even argue any of my points lol. Chelsea are back where they belong mid table since they now don't have a huge financial advantage with the new tv money.

    Lol theyve been competing for the title for well over a decade and they can still spend more on transfers and wages than the majority of PL teams, its attracting top players without playing in the CL thats the issue.

    You sound bitter. We've had one bad season while a lot of your recent ones have been medicore.

    You said contes methods are outdated but that's not really something you can prove. You said were only after Serie a players but a deal for lukaku is almost done.

    I have a gut feeling that Athletico will take the crown tonight. These guys already deserved it two years ago.

    Lukaku will be a great signing, where does that leave Costa though?

    Real have been poor in there run to the final. I think Atletico will win 1-0.
