Has to be Arsenal. I don't know about any of you but i have a lot more Scum fan friends than any of the other clubs. Not too bothered on which other team, can make a case for all

Dippers and Manure, just because their fans are cnuts and there are so many bandwagoning pricks here in Aus.
They still talk like we are nothing compared to them, does my head in.

Assuming Chelsea coast to title, my ideal top 4 will be Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal. United & City to be in Europa League spot. Arsenal to be 4th provided we finish above them. This would mean Wenger could potentially extend his contract for another 2 years and settle for the 4th spot instead of competing.

This will ensure a even playing field next season with everyone in Europe. May be we could improve & go for the title.

Irrespective of where people finish this season and who has what appeal in the summer transfer window, I wouldn't expect any improvement from us next season. Wembley will not feel like home and other teams will relish playing there. It will be some achievement from Pochettino next season to keep us competitive over 38 games next season.

I didn't expect improvment this season. But team & manager has till now proved that notion wrong. I agree Wembley will not feel like home. But I disagree with the notion that we cannot improve. End of the day, its getting used to the condition.

Also, I feel there were few mitigating circumstances this year in CL. For instance, Rose, Dembele, Wanyama did not start or available against a very good Monaco side. Kane, Rose, Toby did not play against Leverkusen. Ofcourse, we won the CSKA game. The dreadful games at Wembely also coincided in general with us being out of form overall. We couldnt score in open play, Kane wasnt available etc etc...

So, I don't accept this simplifying of Wembley failures. We have a strong 14 or 15 players. When they are available, fit & in form, they can beat anyone.

As long as we improve the depth of the squad, add some quality in creativity next season, we should do well and could improve further,even at Wembley.

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.

I don't think he'll stay even if they get top four. I'm also not convinced that his replacement will get them finishing any higher in the league.

My dream would be an Everton resurgence and a Chelsea collapse, leaving the Top 4 Us, Man City, Everton and Man Utd (in that order) with Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal missing out.

Arsenal and Liverpool for me.

Arsenal: would mean we've finally finished above them and their record of God knows how many consecutive seasons in the Prem would be over. Wenger might see this as the time to step down and they'd have to try to deal with finding the right replacement.

Liverpool: Klopp has got them playing good football at times this season. They are on their way up and anything to slow them down is good for me.

Scousers: Obnoxious fans and irritating manager.
ManUre: Irritating fans and obnoxious manager.

has to be the scousers and united. would be utterly humiliating for the pair of them, one with the so called messiah in charge and the other having spent trillions and still missed out.

the lols would keep me going all summer. plus both sets of fans are detestable.

I know on talksport or 5 live they were talking about some bloke in Italy that they rate higher than Conte. Can't remember his name though. Or where I left my spare pants.
