Last game of the season could be very interesting as Newcastle could need a win to stay up and Chelsea just might prefer the title to go to a non-London team.

That`s it, Stoke and I are finished, for good. Where was the leg-breaker when he was needed?

He came on with quarter of an hour to go, got booked in a few minutes then did nothing of note for the remainder. We are talking about Charlie Adam, aren't we?

No, Shawcross, Charlie Adams is an amateur in comparison.

Except for the fact Chelsea and Man City and maybe even United have won the league in that time, plus other trophies. Even Arsenal bagged a brace of FC cups.

I think Spurs are an exciting team, but this seasons performances don't mean that they will become the norm and expecting to be challenging for the next five years is a tall order. City and Chelsea will be stronger next season and it's anyone's guess what will happen at ManU. If Mourinho goes there, they will be challenging as well. Arsenal will still be Arsenal.

In the summer, the Spuds will have to invest in new players to freshen and strengthen the side. You can't stand still. Not doing so was Chelseas error and hopefully in the summer our clueless Technical Director will be packing his bags for pastures new.

By the way, Ranieri is still hugely popular from his time as manager of Chelsea and in his last game was given a fantastic reception by the fans and players. Hiddink has already said that some players seem to have their mind more on the European Championship, rather than the remaining games and there aren't that many Chelsea fans who will be wanting to see the Spuds win the league. I wouldn't expect any favours there.

This is GLC, not HHTel. (Wish he'd not stay logged in all the time :wink: )

Which area do you think needs investing in? Bar bringing in the likes of Messi, there isn't really much that needs to be done. The problem at Chelsea wasn't about not bringing in new players - it was about a bunch of prima donnas not putting in the effort. That and poor management.

Fortunately Spurs have neither of those of problems.

Oh and just to add... I think our Spurs team is somewhat younger than that Chelsea team of old.

What will you do if you do finish second? Good enough to win it next year with the team that didn't win it this year? Plus playing in Europe.

I think you're wrong about Chelsea. There have clearly been other issues, but not bringing in any top players has been a major issue.

Eden Hazard: Chelsea hope Tottenham miss out on Premier League title to Leicester

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard says he and his team-mates do not want Tottenham to win the Premier League.
Spurs are five points behind leaders Leicester with four games left.
Defending champions Chelsea host their London rivals at Stamford Bridge on 2 May and Leicester on 15 May, the final day of the season.
"The fans, the club, the players, we don't want Tottenham to win the Premier League," Hazard, 25, told BBC's Match of the Day programme.
"We hope for Leicester because they deserve to be champions this season.
"We have a good game next week against Tottenham and if we can beat them it will be good."
