    That's a fair point. They have over-achieved. No trophies to show for it yet though, please dear God don't let that change this season

    I don’t think salary spend is the gauge it once was. Man Utd spend the most, Chelsea the 3rd highest, Liverpool the 4th and we’re the fifth. And just one look at Ozil’s salary compared to Eriksen’s says it all.

    Been doing really well at home where we've had some really good results and we're well position in the top 4, worry is our away form, defeat to Everton and had Watford had 11 men they'd have probably beaten us as with 10 men they really gave us a tough time and could easily have scored.

    My main focus is the Europa though, great result against Napoli at home, not conceding was important, if we score 1 the tie is effectively over, our only worry is that we play like we did again Everton or Watford.

    We are all trying not to think about that scenario Letters

    That’s the sickener, they’ve spent nothing and reached a CL semi final. While us and the other top clubs are talking about needing x amount to compete despite being much stronger financially. Shame on everyone.

    I hope Liverpool win the league as well to show that being well run and coached can also deliver success, rather than it just purely being down to whoever has the deepest pockets.

    We will surely need at least 4 points from Leicester and Wolves now.

    I think I'm going to give up on 3rd, the only hope there is if Spurs drop some silly points at home with the CL in mind.

    Chelsea must be laughing, they're in the driving seat now.

    Spurs will qualify, given their home games - although with a thin squad and CL semi’s they could still f it up.

    Man Utd are out of it - they need four out of four - with Chavs and City to play.

    It’s down to the Chavs and ourselves for the other spot. They’ll have played one more by end of tomorrow, but I’d rather have the points than games in hand. Looking like us vs them in both the league and Europa.

    We're still ahead of Chelsea on goal difference.

    Both Spurs and Chelsea recent away form is as bad as ours.

    Spurs should therefore be fine and it's a play-off between us and Chelsea to see who can be less shit.
