A ludicrous comment. Arsenal's average position in the PL is nearer 4th than 3rd and going farther back around 6th since being in the top flight. The Wenger years are abnormally good, not normal

Stats? Oh right, like I said football only started since we failed to win a trophy. I would hate to be a Sp*rs supporter since you've usually been behind us. Must hurt eh.

I have published my feelings on this topic elsewhere, but as long as Liverpool don't finish 4th I really couldn't care less who does (as long as we finish 3rd!). To be honest, and Im not trying to wum when I say this, but I don't think finishing 4th will be remotely constructive for Arsenal overall. Like last season, it will only serve to cover up the cracks that all but Wenger and your board are so blatantly aware of. In all honesty, I don't think 4th would be enough to hold onto RVP- which is a shame b/c he's a flipping class act and his loss (presumably to Barca or Real) would ultimately be the PL's loss.
Another season finishing 4th (perhaps with an FA Cup to show for it; with all due respect you are NOT good enough to win the CL!) would allow the clowns in charge of your club to merrily watch another transfer window stroll by w/o the MAJOR investments that Arsenal- quite frankly- are desperate for.

I can't see you finishing 3rd, simply b/c I feel Spurs are just too far ahead at this stage of the season and have already shown that we can cope quite well with mid-season distractions (whilst they may not be on the same magnitude as this, Harry missing a few weeks after his operation, the Olympic Stadium affair, and the recent tax trial all passed quite smoothly at THFC).

Whether or not Wenger stays, a 5th-place finish may- in the long run- do more good than harm for you, as it will galvanise long overdue action from your board and manager.

Might be on to something here spuddy! However I cannot see our hamfisted owners shelling out, to address the situation, if we were to finish out of the 4! If reports are to be believed, Wenger already needs to make 15-20mill profit every year on player sales... So we might fall further behind :(.

No it doesn't 'hurt'. On average we now finish about two places behind you. For the first half of my life it was the other way around. Big deal. But if I supported a team just because they were successful I would have had to change a few times in my life. I like the ethos of Tottenham Hotspur, the way we've always tried to play football the right way even when we've not had the highest quality players. Since Wenger, Arsenal do the same thing and I usually enjoy watching them: if they win I enjoy the good football, if they lose better still!
 
2nd time in 14 years Arsenal look in dire need of help to qualify for the CL. Potentially 2nd time Spurs will have qualified for the CL in 14 years. What a contrast.

There is no way Spurs will capitulate, Redknapp has galvanised them.
 
I don't think either fans can boast about their respective seasons. Spurs scraped 4th place after they had a really good start and middle and Arsenal scraped 3rd courtesy of a Spurs capitulation and a pants Premier league season for Chelsea.

The best thing to do is clear your throat, shake hands and walk off......

Hear, Hear! Agree 100%, there is nothing to crow about stumbling across the line to claim 3rd spot, really finishing in 3rd spot really feels hollow particularly on the evidence of our performances this season. The Manchester clubs have raised the bar!
