This time last season Man United were done, a bottom half team with no European football and an inability to make big signings. They operated well in the market, finally got rid of a coach who wasn't working go for them and ended up having a decent season.
They said we'd never get another top coach in, we got arguably the best coach available on the market. They're going to say a lot about us over the coming days, weeks and months, until the start of next season when the slate will be wiped clean.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, "reports of Chelsea's death have been greatly exaggerated".

J, spot on, mate. Next season cannot come soon enough.

J, well said. This season is now water under the bridge. The slate is clean. We start again. It will be really interesting to see who our starting eleven will be on the first game of next season.

Just to add, if any of the players in this squad can't look Alonso in the eye and convince him that they want to be part of his project, his Chelsea, then they need to be sold.

J, absolutely mate.

You are spot on with all you say, J.
