You've been called out on a mong post, either deal with it, and admit it, or continue being a mong.

The choice is yours.

Can I make Jew jokes instead? Or are you going to cry foul for your brothers and remove that?

Oh my bad.. not a mod anymore!

I see you opted for the latter option.

If the spuds qualify for the CL, 'Arry will bring in his Championship Manager wishlist. He'll get some top players in and they'll be a stronger side than the one that finished 1 point behind us. Regardless of whether Chelsea qualify for the CL, they can afford to get top names in and they make sure they are competitive next year. Just putting it out there!

Yeah yeah, they'll overtake us like people have been saying they will for years.
They will become a more attractive prospect for players of course but I don't think they're going to go nuts in the transfer market either way. Even if they do they've outspent us for years. In brief: Meh. It's not a good enough reason for me to countenance the idea of Chelsea winning the thing

Difference between points of Utd, City vs us= 19 points. Difference between Newcastle, Chelsea, Spurs and us... 5, 6 and 1 respectively. Chelsea is in the final of CL and bought numerous trophies over the years. Going by our trend, mid-table/above avg clubs are our closest rivals.

Just corrected your little typo.

Oh, and is this the trend where we're in terminal decline and will end up in mid-table this season?

Corrected your little mistake. Yes, one loss on final day and we could have been 5th. We look likely to be challenging the Newcastle's, Spurs, Everton's more than the city's, utd's and chelsea's. I am going by stats and trophies won/bought over the last few years.

Is 5th mid-table? Did you think we'd finish 3rd?

It wasn't a typo. Year after year people have said that we're in terminal decline, we'll end up in mid-table, Spurs will leapfrog us.

Well, here we are again. Above them. Qualified for the CL.

We should be winning trophies too of course but there is not 'trend'. There's stagnation.

Trend of stagnation probably? We've definitely hit a plateau. Clubs showing upward trend- City, Spurs, Newcastle. Utd and Chelsea are at the same place they were. Liverpool are the only team on the way down. Based on that, we are likely to be overturned in our top 4 comfort zone than are the chances of us overcoming the ones above us.

Which is exactly what people have been saying for years
