    With 2013 merely hours away, what do you want from Chelsea next year (and any other clubs)?

    Obviously the big hope is that we somehow overhaul the deficit and steal the Title from the Mancs. I think it could be done, but realistically I expect us to finish 3rd. Then there's the Capital One Cup, which if we don't win, I will be very disappointed. Considering how many Cups we have surrendered this term, I think it's a must. A nice run in the FA Cup wouldn't go a miss. I'd actually really like to win the Europa League, despite the toll it could take on a possible title charge. Also if we did win, we'd get another shot at the Super Cup. I also think it's realistically achievable, as long as we can avoid Athletico (well, Falcao, who will play in the knockout stages), and balance the squad rotation with league commitments.

    I think signings are self explanatory. Get a couple back from loan and sign a striker. I also want Lampard (more so than Cole) to have a new contract.

    With other teams, I'd love it if Everton finished 4th leaving Arsenal and Tottenham out of the CL. Also, let's hope there isn't a QPR revival. They have to go down. <laugh>

    Finish in the top 3, win one of the trophies that we are still involved in, keep lamps and have benitez at the helm for next season. As for other teams i would like to see united blow the title on the last day of the season.

    Benitez is a good one. I'm actually in favor of him staying on, especially if the alternative is Pep.

    Hopes Get a great midfield controller
    Expectations Expect to see 2 managers come and go by this time next year, and Nero the Roman Emperor spend another 100 mill like he does every year.

    Expectations: Third plus one cup. One new striker and stuck with Torres after he scores 20 goals (12 in the premiership)

    I have said on another post - you should be aiming for the runners-up spot!! And expect it!! Trophies: Capitol One Cup!! As for the Europa I hate seeing Champions League dropouts picking up that trophy! I´d like to see one of the German teams win that one as I have no particular love for our original three PL participants.

    Fair enough. I'd never heard a Chelsea fans who thought it was a good decision before.

    As a Spurs fan I'd be happy for him to stay too :)

    Benitez > Pep imo, said it as soon as Rafa joined the only other guy i'd want at the end of the season over him would be Mourinho. Benitez is a bloody good manager.

    Anyway hopes - League cup, and League hopefully. I still think we can win it tbh, need the refs and officials to start hardening up a bit on United then they can finally drop some points and we can hopefully capitalize
