What's the point getting 4th place?

Would people really be Upset if we finished 4th

It's a Catch-22 I think. If we get 4th, nothing will change but we will have seen off chavs, Liverpool and Newcastle. If we don't, then MAYBE change will be forced on the powers that be, but we will be out of Europe (the real one).

Jeez. What am I saying. "seen off Newcastle". Fuck - it has come to that. :(

I see what you mean, and after seeing the mancs and city play today, i really don't want us to play in the europa league. However, id not want us to be in the CL if we are not going to invest for it, im sick off seeing us get beat by the big teams because were happy to settle for the 1/4 -1/2 finals.

If you look at the money spent on squads, you'd expect Chav supporters to be more pissed off than we are.

same with pool tbh,

So this is all we have to fight for, whats peopls Opions on it now, do they want us to get it or would it be better to finish 5th.

i think finishing 4th would be detrimental to the club's future, i think it's a prelude to another self-congratulatory board meeting about how well we have done on a shoestring budget, plastering over how lightweight and out of depth we look when competing for any meaningful silverware.

I want a complete disastrous end to the season, so that Wenger either resigns out of shame or is hounded out

Realistically we'd need to be in 3rd place 10 points clear of our closest rivals to stand a chance of securing 4th. We still have the massive choke to come and we're not high enough up the table to bleed those points and hang on to a CL spot. Perhaps if Chelsea and Pool choke even harder than us we could fluke it. But we're pretty damn impressive when it comes to choking, doubt anyone else could live with us in that department.
