George Graham says we'll be dropping out of the top four.

It doesn't look like Wenger is going to correct the problems that desperately need to be corrected. Whether this is wilful neglect or a constraint placed on him by the unimaginably greedy, anti-football cunts in the boardroom we don't know. So not much will change and judging by how meekly we threw away 2nd and then 3rd spot last year I can see us throwing away 4th to Liverpool. I predict 5th or 6th depending on how well the spuds do (they will decide the order not us as we already know our lot will collapse should it be close). I think we'll still have just about enough to handle Villa and Everton, again provided we have opened up enough of a lead on them by the final third of the season.

Of course if Wenger bought the defenders we need plus got rid of that cunt Chamakh and brought in a proper striker - then I'd tip us for a title challenge.

What a load of drivel - we won't keep dropping just because we cocked up at the end of last season. By the same logic, having seen Norwich rise to the challenge and move up divisions year on year I can't look beyond them for a top 4 finish.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's right, I forgot - last year was the first time we've collapsed under pressure. You're right, if we look at the last six years and how we've performed then 4th place is assured. And the Norwich thing, that makes it certain we'll be at least 4th.

[cricketsi]

Nope, we've cracked multiple times and still not lost 4th place, which means it makes even less sense for you to extrapolate to us slipping down based on last season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Roy Hodgeson got us 4th last year, we won't be so lucky this time around. Unless Wenger does something for the club rather than the board, for a change.

[Kano]

what does he know eh, didnt some one tell him that we've got loads of money?

exactly, fuck all. he's at least 10 years out of touch

[Özim]

Not bad, that's only 4 more years than Wenger.

Two of our primary issues last season were 1. Lack of fight, which is think would be taken care by selling the non-believers and loanin/selling dead wood 2. Defence-I would expect another CB atleast and wish for another LB. For some reason with or without a new buy i have a feeling that our defence is not going to be outstanding neither will it plummet to the depths of this season. With Gervinho and possibly Ryo on the bench we could end up playing more direct than in the immediate past. In all I'am look forward to another top 4 finish.

[Daniele]

as things stand, we're going to end up 5th or 6th.

George Graham? was he talking about Premier League or Bung League?
