If you could choose who finishes outside top 4 ....

[Always Offside]

Obviously City are away and we all want Spurs to finish 2nd (the best of the rest) but who would you really like to see miss out on top 4 ?

For me the final result would be as follows:

1. City
2. Spurs
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool
5. Man Utd

I really have a serious dislike for Jose' and would love to see his team fail to make Champions League football for next season.

Man City

Love how Arsenal aren't even in the discussion. For me it's Chelsea though. The ****s.

 

[Gb160]

As long as it aint us I honestly don't mind.

 

[nferno]

Arsenal will suffer most from no CL, and I want to see them on their knees after having to balance out lack of CL with high wages that are unsustainable long term.

 

[Basil Brush]

Chelscum for me.

The most plastic, souless excuse for a football club I have ever seen.

I may hate Le Arse more but at least they are not a fake club and i think they are in a world of hurt long term anyway.

Hope i don't sound bitter at all....

 

[ernest_lowrider]

CIty
Spurs
Liverpool
Leicester

It’s tricky but I’d choose Liverpool as I think it would hurt them more to miss out and we could see a gap develop with us in a genuine top four.

If Man Utd miss out they’ll still be able to pump loads of money at the problem and sign top players due to their name and crazy salaries but could see Liverpool getting rid of Klopp losing Salah and starting the whole rebuilding process again.

 

[ARMASPUR]

Liverpool, hate them!

 

[The Scarecrow]

Liverpool and Arsenal for me. They are more dependant on CL than the other three clubs.

I would love to see Jose lose out, especially after spending so much money on a team that he has coached to new levels of turdginess!!!

However, I think it will be Chelsea (and obviously Arsenal) that out. I reckon Chelsea are about to hit the doldrums and can see Conte and Abramovich parting company before May.

 

[stevenurse]

As mentioned previously, Arsenal would suffer most. No CL revenue, EL attendances will be awful and would make them less attractive to potential signings.

Liverpool are going to spend big again anyway I would guess. Chelsea are a mess anyway so I do think it matters for them

 

[Bobbins]

Arsenal, obviously - they’re practically a given.

After that Liverpool just edge out Chelsea - trouble with Chelsea is when they aren’t in the CL they tend to have a brilliant league season.

 

[cider spurs]

Liverpool and Arsenal. The Manchester clubs and Chelsea can still attract top players with their financial clout regardless of failure to secure champions league football.

Impact would be far greater to Liverpool and Arsenal.

 

[guiltyparty]

Realistically, Arsenal and Liverpool. As others have said, the other three are so financially doped/enormous it won’t affect them. Altho I wonder how long we can keep saying that about Chelsea

That said, despite the rivalry, all being possible, i’d prefer Arsenal to get in over everyone else as I do have a begrudging respect for how they’ve grown the club rather than bought a new identity, something we are clearly trying to emulate. And a romantic, nostalgic part of me would love the title to be fought out in north London rather than Manchester.

As long as we finish above them every year, of course.

 

[easley91]

I never used to mind Liverpool as a club too much, though their fans can be draining. However, Klopp’s face just annoys me on a whole nother level. Would love to see him squirm at missing out, but then the same could be said about Conte and Mourinho..

 

[Gassin's finest]

Arsenal.

Would rather Chelsea made it to the CL. If they finished 5th or lower then they'd just sack Conte, drop half a billion on manager and players, and storm the league again with no European distraction.

Agree with this - these are teams that will genuinely be competing with long term. City, Utd and Chelsea are on a different financial level.

A sustained period outside the CL could really hurt Arsenal and Liverpool, and by contrast, help us. The others will just blow cash whatever happens

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Arsenal and bin dippers

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Arsenal and Liverpool, our nearest rivals and the ones that it would hurt the most financially.
