Yeah, I wouldn't worry about us.

Obviously it is preferable to finish 4th but I would not get an ounce of satisfaction from it. To me, this season is finished now and frankly it's never really got going anyway.Originally Posted by Charlie the Gooner

Agreed, I've not enjoyed a game for a long time. This year has been a shocker, on the back of a few that had so much promise.
I know what you mean, really don't think it matters any which way tbh. The next 13 weeks are going to be Unberable tbh, Can't see the players caring too much once they go out the CL in 2 weeks.
I'll be surprised if the team even manages to lift themselves and finish 4th. A few of these guys probably won't even be here next season, so I expect many of them will be just be going through the motions and counting down the days until the summer. A bit like the post-Carling Cup final form last year.
It's pointless as we only spend the money it brings on (shite) player wages. Plus we'll never, ever win the Champs Lge.
BUT
I'd hate to see Spurs in the Champs Lge and not us.
It's going to be one hell of a battle and I doubt we'll do it but I really hope we get 4th.
To be honest I really don’t understand a lot of the attitudes on this thread. I don’t know if some of it’s a knee-jerk reaction to last week’s humiliation or just people realising we probably won’t finish fourth and doing the classic “I didn’t want us to anyway!”
Personally I want to see us playing against the best teams in the world. Yeah, granted we’ve struggled when up against the top teams in recent seasons, but I’d still rather be playing these games than not. The 2-1 win against Barcelona at home last season was by far the best night we’ve had at the emirates. Why would people not want to see us playing in games like that again?
This whole “we’re never going to win it so why bother” attitude is quite frankly ridiculous. We’re not going to win the premier league anytime soon so does that mean we might as well get relegated to the championship!?
I can understand the idea that missing out on the champions league might be the catalyst in kicking the board/manger in to action. But personally I can’t see this board saying “oh shit, we’ve just lost out on a shit load of cash, let’s spend a shit load of cash then”! They’re gonna want to cover those losses from somewhere and the transfer pot seems the most likely place.
And as Grebbo says above, sp*rs playing the champions league and us dicking about on channel 5 on a Thursday would be utter utter shite!
I think its more of a xase of people feeling us being in the CL is no point as were just making up the numbers, Like you say missing out on it may not change anything at all, so its a case of lets just see what happens one way or the other.
But i agree Spurs being in the CL and us not would be shite, so yeah id rather we got in it.
I agree with you. But just to play devil's advocate - fans desperately want to see the predictability of all this broken. A season further away from the limelight and Sky and 'club in crisis' and "will x, y, z leave?" bollocks; rip everything up and start again. Travelling away to Dynamo Bucherest and fighting some Eastern European Nazis. Lets just have a bit of fun even if we are shit.
