Top Four or final?

[domalino]

I still have hope we come 3rd.

I expect West Ham to beat Arsenal, us to beat West Brom.

That leaves us 1 point behind them and with a game at the Etihad coming up. I know our record vs. the top half is awful, but I maintain belief this team have got one more big domestic performance in them, and it's a completely different game with Kev, Kompany and Sterling all expected back by then.

5th would do untold damage and set us back ages, just at the wrong time with Pep arriving. So tempting though a CL final might be, we MUST focus on 4th or better in the league. I am not sure Manuel will agree though.

Top 4 place without any doubt whatsoever.

id have to say 4th, pretty much means we finish above United and they miss out and I'm confident we can reach a final in 3 years under Pep and new signings
so 4th for me

This, and it also keeps the rags out of CL so all the more merriment and piss taking to be had.

Can't we have both?

But realistically the chance of us winning the CL this year is very slim. Wolfsburg would probably progress at the expense of Real, but Bayern and Barca would likely get to the semis at the end. Even if by some miracles Benfica and Atleti won in the second leg, they are not exactly easy opponents (particularly if the Atleti attack turns up).

So a top three finish would be great (having to play qualifiers would be a nuisance).

Final all day long. Whether or not we finish in the top 4 won't have a huge impact on our transfer business this summer. And in a one off final we can beat anyone. Even Barca if we have our best players for. Big if.

Anyway FWIW there's no reason we can't do both.

Final!

As I stated in another thread some time ago IMO we will win CL. League position is therefore irrelevant.People knocking Pellars will be eating humble pie. :-)

Win the CL, anyone saying we are incapable are useless (not saying anyone has either), we can win the fucker.
I don't just mean by fluke, on our day we can do anyone!
