Would you be happy with 4th place? (as of January 2014)

[Bjornebye]

Surprised you have left Everton out there. 

[GH1234]

Would take 4th in a second especially if Suarez stays with Champs League, but can see the worst case scenario pan out. United, knowing they can't win the PL and probably won't finish top 4 throw everything they have in the Champions League and actually win. I'd be crushed

[Trucker Paddy]

Yes

I'd take 4th but, I don't see why we cant aim higher. If we can stay there or there abouts by time by time the CL starts up again and maybe bring in one or two quality additions in January I don't see why we can't finish 3rd at the very least. We wont have the added distraction of CL games like our rivals and Arsenal have got an absolutely horrendous set of fixtures in February and March starting with a trip to Anfield. So it can be done.

[Bjornebye]

Tough one. 2 months ago it would have been a swift yes thanks but we have the easiest run-in and are better than i thought we were. We have a genuine chance at the title I reckon. The flip-side is, not finishing in the top 4 widens the gab between us and those that do 

 

Yes.

Seriously? Do you honestly believe this to be the case?

Is that sarcasm? 

[Captain]

No mate, straight question.

[Bjornebye]

Yes we obviously do. 

[Captain]

No, we don't. But I guess time will tell.

I'd love to win the league, but I think City are likely to get further away from us then us reeling them in.

 

I think anyone who wouldn't be happy at the end of the season with 4th is living in a fantasy world. I'd be very surprised if Utd won the CL and they're the only ones of the English clubs who could finish outside the top 4, so I think 4th should be fine for CL football the following year. (Yes, we'd have to qualify, blah blah). With the squad we have, and the defensive issues, I think finishing where we are now would be brilliant.

[Captain]

Anyone who thinks we'll finish ahead of either Man City or Chelsea is fucking deluded. There really isn't a more polite way of putting it.

[CWD82]

In the last 10 years of the Premier League the title has only been won once by a team losing 6 games. It's not been won by a team losing more than 6 games.

 

So based historically you'd think we would have to go unbeaten till the end of the season to win the league.

 

If you look at the teams that have less than 5 losses they are City (4) Chelsea (3) Arsenal (3) and Everton (2). The winner of the league will come from that lot and it won't be the shite!

[Bjornebye]

How the fuck don't we have a genuine 'chance' at the title? We were top 8 fucking days ago 

 

8

[Captain]

Because our squad isn't good enough.

[Bjornebye]

I don't think we will win it, but we can. 

[Captain]

And I don't think I'll shag Jessica Alba this spring, but you never know.

 

Seriously, third is the very best we can hope for. 

[The Golden Eel]

4th would be great, let's be honest, something totally build on. It would be a massive breakthrough.

How has Code not risen to this?

 

He's displaying some impressive restraint here...

[YNWAViking]

Top 4 is the best we can hope for imo, looking at our team depth compared to the other top teams. I'd love it if we were on top come May of course, but when looking at the competition, clubs spending much more money than us, having the double amount of 1st team players than we got, it's really hard to see us on top at the end of the season.

 

Top 4 enables us to rank in the £, and equally important, yet again make us interesting for the top top players out there that needs to play in CL.

[Dr. J]

We've still got it all to play for. One or more of our better rivals is going to get used up in Europe. Shoot for the stars and hit the moon, I reckon.

As in gone for good, hiding on the MF, or reincarnated under a different user name?
