One thing to worry about...

I don't think that any of us are disappointed with the team. The run we've been on has been fantastic and I think we are all satisfied with how we have performed.

West Ham played spoiler tactics in yesterday's game and on this occasion it was successful. It's part and parcel of the game.

For me what seems to be a common theme is that we tend to lose on bigger pitches. Wembley, yesterday, old Trafford etc tend to be matches that we struggled on the most. This could be a massive challenge for us next year...

I wouldn't be surprised if we did drop off a bit in the league on account of Wembley, but we can still have a good season by using it to our advantage in the domestic cups.

Top priority is a good transfer window. It will simply be unacceptable to have any more panic buys like Sissoko again. We should be drawing up a list of targets already and trying to bring them in early.

I reckon we'll reduce the size of the pitch next season,it's the playing surface needs addressing.I wonder if our groundsmen will be taking care of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------why reduce the size of the pitch? We are going to be playing on almost the same size pitch as Wembley when we move into the new stadium and so we get a season of playing on a larger pitch, and I think there is already a Wembley size pitch at the training ground--------

There have been complaints about the Wembley pitch being lumpy & not suited to passing football. Most teams seem to manage on it, so I think we need to adjust ourselves accordingly.

Not sure it will be as big as problem next season as people are keen to point out.

All eyes on the scouting team this summer IMO. Can't guarantee they'll all be hits but they've got to improve massively compared to recent seasons - when I say that I'm not referring to the likes of Wanyama and Alderweireld because any of us on this forum could have identified them as players to sign.
