Would you be happy if we finished 3rd but Arse won the league?

Would take that all day. If we stay i touching distance before we play them it will be close as we played them off the park last time

I believe we are better than them. We should have enough to finish above them. Whether that means we finish 1st or 3rd...I believe will be the better team over a season come May. Bold statement...but I genuinely believe we are the stronger side this season.

We're certainly more consistent than them. I can't see us suffering the sort of loss they did against Southampton against anyone. But they've got a few world class players (particularly ozil and sanchez) that can win matches single handedly.

They're also better than us at breaking down parked buses atm. If we can get better at that and turn some of these undeserved draws into deserved wins then we can finish above them...

I honestly think we should be aiming to win the thing... We've been the best team so far after all. Those EL hangovers are loooking pretty costly now aren't they. We'd be top.

Right now no I wouldn't really be happy with it because I believe if we sign a really top class striker we can win the whole thing. We've got the likes of Bentaleb, Mason and Chadli to come back in to form and fitness. Our squad has wonderful strength in depth. Someone like Lacazette would give us a real chance to win it in my opinion!

Third would be great, and as other have said, couldn't give a monkey's ringpiece where the Arse finish.

When we finished 4th in 2012 I spent the whole season worrying about losing Bale and finishing/not finishing above the arse, and totally missed out on just enjoying the excitement and fantastic football that that team played at times. This time round i'm throwing away the negativity and trying not to think of the inevitable connotations if we fail to reach top 4 in the next year or so...

I'm just going balls out delusional molly head ecstatic and daring to dream every week. I think of the bus parade down the high road and the statue of pochettino they will erect in 10 years time. I think of Kane smashing Greaves' all time scoring record and being able to tell my grandkids I watched the great spurs team of 2016.

No offence but we seem to get this question asked every fucking week recently. We'll finish where we deserve to finish, be that 3rd, 4th, 15th or otherwise and what other clubs do is their business.

I'd be happy if we finish top four, doesn't matter where Arsenal finish.

This. This was supposed to be the season where we'd be lucky to hold on to 5th. Top 4 would have to be seen as an achievement. 3rd in Premier League for first time? Deal

That said, man, this season is turning into one hell of an opportunity

I would be exceptionally happy if we finished 3rd. Nothing else would matter.

It could well be the other way around, Chelsea doing us a favour at the moment!
