    I do believe we're more likely to drop out of the top 4 than win the title anytime soon, however we've only been in genuine danger once, arguably twice of dropping out. As frustrated as I am about the club at the moment I do believe the team is more than good enough to secure the cash cow that is 4th. Spurs and Liverpool will be fighting with us but they, like us, have many inconsistencies to iron out as well. One thing is for certain though, City have made things very tight and competitive now and we must try to raise the bar ourselves as well.

    At worst, we'll finish 6th.

    At best 4th.

    Top 3 is done and dusted. Down to us, Liverpool and Spuds for 4th and the other 2 probably have the advantage over us in that

    It'll be a battle for 4th as usual for sure, I don't think we're a particularly happy camp at the moment though and with Spurs not being in the CL this year and Liverpool having strengthened and having a new manager they'll be more of a threat.

    The lack of signings is disappointing though, we needed some new blood, but we're getting very little....not really looking forward to the season to be honest, which isn't how it should be.

    The fans need something to get excited about. A big signing would be great. Wenger leaving would be better.

    Right now, as it stands, we have hit rock bottom. We have no hope in this team. I have seen nothing on and off the pitch this summer to wax lyrical about.

    I dunno...at present our top 4 status looks as precarious as it did 08/09. I think assuming we keep hold of Cesc & Nasri we should finish top 4, without them and if we don't replace them properly we may well finish outside of top 4.

    The sad thing is if we were more ambitious in the market we could be real title challengers with a few additions.

    True but as shown over the transfer windows, especially the January ones over the last 6 years, Wenger and the board would rather finish top 4 than go for the title. The couple of times we have been in somewhat of a title challenge, we have bought no one in January to strengthen and take us to the title. The times we have struggled to finish 4th, we've bought in players

    Could be worse tbh, we could be everton who have had no signings since for ever tbh. End of they day we havbe to accpet that we not going to win the league until we pay of the stadium and have proper money to spend.

    But our goal should be to win a trophie even if its the CC thats where the problem lies. we don't go for our realistic targerts and worry about ones we can't make tbh.

    Its obvious AW has no faith in this team but can't really change it that much.

    end of the day it don't matter which manager we bring in unless we get a new board any manager with this board won't spend anyway.

    But i agree this summer is make or Break for AW tbh if he don't sign quality and we don't win anything in the words or ACH "THE CUNT SHOULD FUCK OFF"

    It all depends on the other teams. We'll see more of the same from us and if two or three teams raise their game to really go for the final CL spot we'll end up outside of the top 4.

    The signs from pre season point to more of the same.

    This..

    I would say its good for us to be underestimated and how that could work out, but we all know it won't be if we don't get what we need.

    Oh, yea of little faith.

    Personally, I would predict that one of the guaranteed, lock-on, bet your savings on them top 3 will not be in the top 2 come the end of the season. And I think that it will be Chelsea.
