Thought it would be 5th from the start and sticking with it now. Long way to go though. Lots of twists and turns left

I think 5th, but if we are to finish 4th I think it will be at Chelsea's expense more likely than Arsenal's. Arsenal look more dangerous attacking than ourselves or Chelsea, and the players they bought in summer are starting to click so I think that is a problem. We could definitely still finish ahead of them especially if we beat them at WHL but I think at the end 3rd-5th will be close together.

Arsenal have just had three home games on the trot, lets see how they do up North this weekend. I still they look very dodgy at the back, and overall we look a more secure and resilient team although they do have more cutting edge up front - at the moment.

Adebayor is absolutely key for me. If we see him at his best, or close to it, for the majority of the remainder of the season I think fourth is certainly ours to lose. We need the big man performing - then we stand a great chance IMO.

I went for 4th but think that 3rd ought to be an achievable stretch goal.

Tough run of fixtures coming up when we hit West Ham away. We have to finish off the lesser teams like QPR and Norwich to give us more of a cushion.

If only Sandro didn't get injured I think third would have been possible

We're in for a few tough games come March and April too, so we really need Ade at his best if we're to grab 4th.

6th for me
obviously I hope I am completely wrong but our form, if not totally our results,has started to do the traditional post new year slide and I simply dont see how we will score enough goals in tight games to win them.
Arse and Pool to finish strong and above us

Liverpool to finish above us? dear me

Wouldnt suprise me if Chelsea fucked it all up and finished 5-6th, something just not right over there atm. Then again we are known to bottle things way to often to:banghead:

Anyway feeling optimistic today so will go with third for us.

I've voted third.

We've been in and around fourth for a while now, including a time when we've had no goals from our strikers. The team has a better balance than before, and we are getting goals when we need them from other players. Our rivals for top four are all inconsistent and/or lack something, and I think that when Ade comes back we will push on.

(Now watch us finish sixth.)

Personally I think we're the 5th best squad in the country. So if we come higher than 5th that'll be excellent.

Anyone who reads the Chelsea fans forum showing how much they hate their coach who they call " FSW " ( Fat Spanish waiter ) will think we hve a great chance of finishing above them. 2 of the funniest things i have seen in years are the " Should Rafa be sacked " thread in the Matthew Harding Lounge and then try googling" Fat Spanish Waiter " I havent laughed so much in years and I'm sure AVB finds it pretty funny too. Such hatred can only be finding its way to their mercenary players.

5th. Of course.

If we finish 4th, Arsenal will finish below us and win the Champions League.

Yep, I'm a pessimist.
