Who do you want to miss out on top four?

[DIEHARD]

Next season will be our biggest test... We will be at a disadvantage due to Wembley. So we potentially could be fighting on four fronts playing at Wembley which could hamper is.

Next transfer window is going to be huge... Last summers was somewhat huge and we kinda fucked it up in my view.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Liverpool and West Ham to miss out please.

 

[Buggsy61]

Normally Chelsea would be the first name all day long, but I will go for Woolwich with Wenger staying and Man Utd, just to shut up the annoying glory hunting fans in our pub and Mourinho to get fired.

Chelsea and Arsenal

 

[JerryGarcia]

Would anyone take West Ham dominating the Premier League and Champions League for the next decade in return for back to back relegations for Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool?

I would take it, only because I know West Ham would cock it up somehow...

 

[Chinaspur]

I want Wenger to stay so 4th for them.
Am thoroughly enjoying Man U go through so much chaos since Fergie and want to continue
Always good to see Liverpool fail too so them and Utd.

 

[talkshowhost86]

If we get top 4 I don't really care what the other teams do.

I think City and United are the most objectionable from a footballing point of view because both just basically want to spend their way to success without any hint of trying to be a football club.

But obviously you can't throw any support behind Arsenal, and Liverpool's supporters are just so so hateful.

So yeah. Let's just do our thing and let the others scrap it out behind us.

 

[ardiles]

There's still enough time and games for Everton to finish fourth. As such I'd like United, Liverpool
and Arsenal to miss out on CL and finish 5th to 7th ( in no particular order).
I'd also like the FAC & League Cup to be won by a top five club so that the 5th, 6th & 7th placed teams will be involved in next season's EL and not be allowed to have so many free rest days as Chelsea and Liverpool have had this season.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Tempting fate with this thread...

 

[Dennism]

Arsenal and Liverpool.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

Man Utd and Liverpool - them staying out of the CL for a sustained period will have a huge effect on the attractiveness of those clubs. No longer will they be seen as guaranteeing trophies or CL football and makes them less of a threat in the transfer market.

Chelsea won't happen, and whilst Arsenal missing out would be funny, I don't think it would have a large effect on them - players don't go there to win trophies, which is why they have the sort of player they do.

 

[heelspurs]

Pool and ManU. Love seeing Mourinho fail and missing out on CL may affect summer recruitment for both.

 

[tommo84]

Liverpool and United. They've got the most arrogant fans in the country so to see them still miss out even when Liverpool have had no European distractions and United have spent massively would be very enjoyable. If Arsenal were to finish 4th too and continue their Wenger in/out hokey cokey that would be close to perfection (apart from Chelsea winning the league obvs, but that bit looks inevitable from here on).

Not for Man Utd it won't.

 

[wishkah]

Arsenal from a heart POV.

But realistically Liverpul as it stops them being able to compete with us for signings next year. I know we're dizzily looking at the title but step 1 is to be a consistent CL team. So I'd rather let City and maybe arse have a spot if I means we can consolidate ourselves there. Alongside Bindippers it would be arse or man utd fixing themselves as the 5th best team. i.e. not a CL team.

 

[Athan]

Would like Liverpool and Man United to miss out. United to win the League Cup, Us to win the FA Cup. This means the top 7 have Europe to deal with next season, which i think will see us benefit the most, I hope anyway.

If United miss out on the top 4, they lose part of their massive deal with Adidas, it may not seem like much but it could be the start of other commercial deals not being the size they have been use to in recent years. It will also put massive pressure of the Manager, players and board, this can only help us.

Liverpool missing out again, helps because it will give us the edge on transfers, future Income with CL and being Liverpool, expectation is just not realistic with their fan base and the media and this puts undue pressure on Klopp. The added fixtures in the Europa League should help us pull away from them as they are less equipped to deal with 2 games a week with their style.

Arsenal, well it would be nice to see them miss out, but I don't think it helps us as much as the other 2. Wenger should stay, Sanchez will leave anyway I think, maybe Ozil too, there is always a risk with replacing players, so may be weakened and the rest of the squad are aged and injury prone.

City and Chelsea will never be part of this discussion while being run as a glamorous toy to show off to their billionaire friends. No matter where they finish, they can offer anything for any player, manager and pay whatever wages they need to.

Would like Everton in the Europa League too, so United to win the League Cup and if we don't win the FA Cup, then anyone of United, City, Chelsea or Arsenal, don't care. Don't want Everton being the only decent side with 1 game a week all year, we all know how that goes.

 

[nailsy]

I'd prefer to see the two Manchester clubs in there with us and Chelsea. If those two sides missed out on the champions league it wouldn't affect their recruitment at all. If Arsenal miss out then Wenger will be gone and so will Ozil and Sanchez and they go into a transitional season while we're playing the season at Wembley. Liverpool would just be funny.

 

[Shadydan]

If Arsenal get top four it means it's likely Wenger will stay so surely we would want that seeing as he's made Arsenal totally stagnant.

 

[Cavehillspur]

I see that ALL of the Soccer Saturday pundits on Sky have us finishing 3rd or higher (Merson has us 2nd) and ALL have us finishing above Arsenal - this does not sit well with me ... its too tight to call with 14 games remaining. If I had to pick a team(s) to miss out it would be Arsenal/Liverpool.
