The race for the Top 4 - RUNNERS UP, a game to spare

Re: Finishing Second

I'd rather be 3rd where Arsenal are and going to Wembley

Overall disappointing season. Could have been worse, but should have been so much better. What's annoying is that this team was at its peak, and should have achieved so much more.

An awful lot comes down to Toure as many feared in the Summer.

I'd rather win two titles in 4 seasons.

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has guaranteed supporters the club will finish above rivals Manchester City next season.

This guy constantly enjoys the media portraying him as Mr Nice Guy, but he can't resist digs at City. He was the same when they were in for Nasri, but he came to us. Jack's by far the more tolerable Charlton,

He will never be able to resist digs at City..adored by many in his pomp for england and utd his hero status counted for nothing when he came up against a class Manchester City side late 60s /early 70s..for all his hero worship and undoubted talent, it wasn,t enough to stop City gaining the upperhand in derby matches over the period....that will have hurt Bobby, and that hurt shows itself every now and then.its understandable,i feel your pain bobby..

Re: Finishing Second

Its 8 ;o)

Very good. The fact they went off on their hols 2 weeks ago has no relevance here at all. ;-)

The only FACT is its 8 at the moment, of course it could be 5, 6, 8, 10, or 11 after the final game, and that'll be a FACT as well.

.... could be 7 as well, if we were to draw on Sunday and Chel$ki were to lose, or it could be 9 if they were to draw and we were to lose.... sorry, just pointing out the facts lol 80)

Re: Finishing Second

It's the gap between second and first that is the concern, absolutely no way should we have got ourselves more than ten points behind Chelsea with our squad.

Not being funny but we have finished 2nd. Be it by goal difference or 30 points it matters not one jot and there are 18 other sides that would give their right hand to have our position right now and over the last 4 years, probably all 19 would swap with us.

An incredible period of results and success with a huge summer spend to look forward to.

Positive blues, positive.

come on sam its because we`ve had an awful second half of the season instead of the chavs being great!! Chelsea have won it fair dukes but if we had played even close to our potential we are the best team NOW in the league let alone if we can get pogba, sterling, de bruyne, wilshere etc! lots to look forward to mate so two titles and two runners up in four years is something 6 years ago couldn't have been dreamt about.
