Summary
We've so nearly stumbled over the finishing line...
We begin with our latest edition of 'Why hasn't Mauricio Pochettino been announced as the new Chelsea manager yet?'
Then, there's a round up the exhibition match at the Etihad as the Blues were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City's B team. The less said about that the better - so we move on swiftly and instead try and be upbeat about the trip to Old Trafford and last game of the season against Newcastle.
As has so often been the case this season, at least we have the women's team to bring us some joy! Their commanding 2-0 win over Arsenal means the WSL title is all but definitely coming Chelsea's way barring a disaster against bottom of the table Reading on the final day of the season.
We'll be back for the final time this season next week to wrap up this strangest of campaigns, (hopefully) toast the achievements of Emma Hayes' side - and take a look at our highly accurate pre-season predictions...
