I'd love to see a team that had been in the championship in teh last five years get into the CL, without spending hundreds of millions, I don't think it'll be either of us though, losing their coach and half their team who desired to further their careers in CL football means it'll be Southampton, The irony is too strong for them not to.Little old Swansea will finish above you all!....................![]()
Trophy, singularArrogance is preferable to complete delusion. At least they have the trophies in recent history to back up their behaviour.
Depends if you think 2008 is recent?which is still more than you.

No, I don't see? And we do compare to them. Badly, but still a comparison. We are.year in, year out, the best of the rest after the top 4/5.See? They genuinely think they're comparable to Arsenal!
Recent history is probably the last 15-20 years.
If we beat Sunderland today, and Arsenal lose to £ity tomorrow, we go above them in the Prem.
Surely that makes us better than Arsenal?


lol, how for how many weeks have you been above Arsenal in the history of EPL again? we're not talking about finishing above them, which would be a freak result as it has never happened in the entire history of the EPLTrick, the important difference is very simple. The professional footy pundits expect us and Arsenal to be going hammer-and-tongs at each other all season, fighting for a top 4 slot. They don't expect the Hammers to be there or thereabouts, at all, and view any rise above us to be nothing more than a freakish blip.
