True, but finishing above the Woolwich mob has to be a means to an end, not an end in itself. A sign that we're moving in the right direction, if you like.
Believe me, I want that monkey off the club's back, too. I've had more than enough of those patronising, arrogant bastards at work or in the pub. Fortunately, there aren't many Goons where I live now, but in Walthamstow...
I want us to finish as high as we can and being above that lot will be an added bonus. There's extra money for every position and a bigger carrot is that we could avoid a qualifying round in the Champions League by being second. Liverpool could well win the Europa League and I think, though I'm not entirely sure, this would mean that the side in third would need to play a qualifying round as we did against Bern when we last got in. I'm confident an English side would get through but if we can avoid it we should. Although I was confident we'd beat Southampton, I'm also very confident we'll beat Newcastle and we only need a draw.
