That's entering more in to subjectivity, I think we will be Top 4 for what it's worth though.
We could always win the Europa League I guess.

We'll need several of the genuine contenders to go total FUBAR for us to float above them in the final reckoning. It's not up to us where we finish, it's up to other clubs. We don't have enough consistency, organisation or stability to take things into our own hands and we are always one teetering step away from total collapse and a million miles away from genuine control.
Bloody dreadful manager in charge here, and an owner who couldn't give a rat's arse. What do we expect, I suppose?
You really would think we'd have a crack at the Europa. Arsenal FC FFS! Of course we should be looking at winning that. But we won't. Wenger will find a way to fuck it up.

If we were talking about the title I could understand your first paragraph.
Any man can try to do a job and do it badly, even if he makes the best effort. He can want to succeed, he can strive to succeed and he can fail. There's nothing wrong in that. The problem comes when he turns around and starts blaming everyone bar himself for the failures. That's where the vitriol comes from. Everyone was prepared to say you tried, you failed, thanks for all the times you succeeded and we wish you luck in your future endeavours. That was thrown back in our faces as betrayal and disloyalty. We became the reason the team failed, in his eyes. Along with chav money, transfer inflation, fixture schedules, the wrong kind of leaves on the track, anything he could conjure up. There comes a point where goodwill runs out and that time has come and gone. And to get a pay rise for taking us out of the CL, that bare minimum he covets as the trophy of all trophies. He has no problem taking advantage of inflated salaries himself, I notice. He could have faced the stone cold facts of his record over the last 10 years, accepted there was widespread discontent with his performance and resolved to compensate for his shameful acceptance of a new contract by trying something new. But he's pushing on with the same tired old shit, utterly unrepentant. A figure like that can't be liked and can't be respected. He's brought it all on himself. Not that he seems to care. The ultimate man in a bubble.

I despise him because of the way he’s used his position of power and misled the fans. If he’s able to bypass the usual pecking order to speak directly to Stan Kroenke about renewing his contract, why hasn’t he been able to convince Stan to invest more money into this club if indeed that’s what’s holding us back? If he has the owners respect and trust, why is he not taking the concerns of the fans to the owner?
I won’t forget the way he has backed the club to raise ticket prices on fans or how he’s back not lowering ticket prices since the new TV money has come through. He’s able to get the club to greenlight projects for a new Youth Academy training ground, a new stadium and all, a socialist wage structure but I’m supposed to believe he couldn’t have squeezed more out of them when it comes to transfers and buying the right player? The guy is out for himself and has been allowed to indulge in how own vanity projects. He sits with the fans week in week and hears the concerns from grounds and even from his own players but he doesn’t give a shit. Any appeal to do things differently gets disregarded. How happened this summer is enough evidence.
