Summary
As the dust settles on the end of the Premier League season - and with Chelsea somehow qualifying for the Champions League by the skin of their teeth - our Blues experts Liam Twomey, Dom Fifield and Simon Johnson are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to pick the bones from a crazy final day.
We analyse the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, ponder team selection ahead of the small matter of the Champions League final, wonder if there's any chance Harry Kane will show up at Stamford Bridge next year - and answer your questions as we say farewell to the 20-21 league season.
