Top 4 finish?

We'll boringly finish in the top four just by default because we simply have better players than the rest of this overrated bobbins league and scrape though to a top four finish.

We look so far away from being champion though, considering our staring XI quality today (just Kompany and de Bruyne away from our best side), it's infuriating!

is anybody else like me concerned with the possibility of us missing out on the top 4 or at best coming 4th and having a qualifier in some tricky Eastern European place.
As it stands we are now down to 3rd with 2 teams above us who are winning for fun. Our performances have been hit and miss all season and after today's battering I can see things going one way.
Should the RAGS win tomorrow they will only be 4 behind us and we will seriously be looking over our shoulder especially with a more than loseable fixture next week.
I wonder if Pep has been aware how poor we have been this season and is taking a top 4 spot for granted?

If we miss out I don't think it will be as bad as some of us will make out.

It's clear with the money coming into the game and its distribution the big clubs dominating are likely to be a thing of the past.

We are as well placed as any club to continue to fight for trophies and eventually make a better fist of Europe.

Leicester might win the title this year and good on them but they are just as likely to finish mid table or be in a relegation fight next season despite being in the Chumps League.

I keep reading this about these so called amazing teams below the top sides because of the money in the Prem now but are any of the sides anywhere from 4th to mid table anywhere near the quality of us and Spurs from 2010 and 2011 when we were battling out to just get into the top four? Kompany, de Jong, Bellamy, Robinho, Tevez; Dawson, van der Vaart, Modric, Bale, Crouch, Defoe...?

Fucking no chance!
 
The state of this league this season where teams like Scousers drop points at home to Sunderland. And Arsenal drop points to any team who are up for it makes you wonder. We should be comfortably 7_10 points in front. But instead we fuck about and hand the initiative to Our nearest rivals every week
 
With about 10 games to go last season we had similar concerns. Same now.

Says everything about how this team has under performed under this clueless, inept manager.
 
There are certainly motivational issues within our camp. It's a farce that we petered out last season and this season looks the same.
 
Yeah I personally can't stand the Chumps League and all it stands for. But the fact remains that top players want to play in it and we will therefore still fail to attract the very best players if we are unable to guarantee Chumps League despite who our manager is and how much we can pay .

Yet when they had to they turned it on at the end of the season. I can only think their pay is heavily linked to where we finish because that finish made their efforts in the previous months look embarrassing. I would expect more of the same. We won't be winning the league though. That's 3 losses and a draw at home already. 11 points gone at home. It's not good enough. All against sides in the top half too. We are poor against better quality sides and managers that have the beating of our mediocre one.
 
I think we will still be up for the title come May but that's because everybody else is poor. Real changes need to be made in the summer.
 
I think we'll struggle on.

Hopefully we get top 4 but it's no guarantee and we look woeful.

Home and away.

Just shows how bad things are that in a season where we should be top dogs, we're looking just as likely to finish outside of the top 4 as we are in it.
