Chelsea vs Arsenal: Match Thread.

Is being 4th best even something to brag about? Since when did anyone ever brag about being 4th? Oh right, I forgot, Arsenal invented a new dynamic in which being 4th gets some trophy.

 

You can judge it whenever you like TBH, and right now, Spurs look more likely to finish in the top 4.

 

There's a goal coming at WHL

 

Well it's the only trophy we're going to win over the next few years.

 

And who is bragging about it? Or did you covieniently decide to skip over the "4th is the bare minimum" part?

 

You answered your own question. Nobody brags about coming 4th.

 

Wenger does.

 

Mark my words .

If/ when we dont make 4th it will be a quick change to , " well 5th place in such a league is a very good result , you still get to compete against the best teams in Europe "

 

The same guy who said its a GOOD THING that coming 4th year in year out is seen as a disaster?

 

I can see OXO saying that.

 

He does? In what context?

 

We made fun of Spurs for playing FC Marsbar/FC Haribo (whatever they were really called). That'll be us next season at this rate.

 

A87 if you insist on ignoring what everyone says to you and just acting like a twat people will just ignore you

No-one is bragging about finishing 4th, no-one is celebrating it like a trophy. Several people have made it clear why 4th place is important for the club and it's clear to everyone. You can choose to continue to ignore the very obvious facts, but then please don't insist on going on about how everyone thinks 4th is like winning etc.. when nobody has said that on these forums that i have ever seen.

 

He considers 4th place a higher priority than any trophy. That speaks for itself.

 

OXO will be like FC Haribo are the Cypriot champions so worthy opponents, and if we beat them, he'll be like we just beat the Cypriot champions, a noble and worthy feat.

Then Piskie will come also highlighting how good we looked against FC Haribo, comparing Coqualan to Vieira and Yaya Toure.

 

AGain, I don't give a **** what you think. I've said before 4th is the bare minimum, but of course ignore it so you can spout your BS.
You still didn't answer the question.

 

Why must you always use profanity? Relax, things are fine, we're currently the 6th best team in England.

 

We have gone backwards as a team, but what would we have won if we did not go for the new stadium?

With Chelseas money and Man Us revenue we were always struggling to compete financially and then those 2 and Man C started putting wages on offer out of our reach so the top players would have started choosing them anyway. and we would have dropped behind. As it is Wenger has kept us consistently the top team other than those three with the battle for 4th effectively being the title challenge for teams without bottomless pitd of money. So by that standard we are doing well. And during that period we have developed the top grossing stadium in football (well that and stupid prices).

If we are now in a situation to compete more financially we may actually be doing well.

But if we want to be there at the end of the season we need to spend and spend now. A top striker and DM are top of my list

 

You think 4th place is a trophy, end of story.

 

The only option then is to WIN the CL.

Wenger has a plan im sure.

Trouble is , its called the Bradford/Bayern plan .

Doesnt bode well.
