Are we going to finish in the top 4? - Achieved!

[Styles 9,790]

I take back what I said. We're going to finish in the bottom four if this clown stays. GTFO.

It has very little to do with the manager although he clearly isn't helping. The squad is not good enough for top four. Just imagine where we'd be now if we didn't start the season on fire? We would be hovering about in mid-table. We at least have the platform for a top 7-8 position.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

We simply don't have the squad depth and it's really worrying. We're leaking goals far too easily and it's evident that there's no cohesion in midfield because it's so unbalanced, with a lack of central & defensive midfield cover. Sigh. It's going to be one of "those" season..

I guess this is a real transition period From CL winners to midtable ... to .....Championship ????? IRWT

Sigh. Can't wait for this season to be over.

Not this year, we will finish 5th and will be playing europa league (better than nothing for xp).

I can see us losing against Sparta in europa league and against Brentford during the replay at home. How crap are we with this FSW?

But next year we will be really competitive if we find a good long-term manager and if we can get rid of Fernando

I'm afraid if we're losing 2-0 leads to the likes of Southampton and Reading, along with games/performances like QPR, Newcastle, Brentford etc. I just don't see where the points are going to come from at the business end of the season.

I wouldn't mind, but the performances just seem to be getting worse. At least if we lost with Robbie, we went all out, the players left it out on the pitch; but with Rafa, not only do we draw/lose, the players' performances make me want to gouge out my own eyes.

Why is there so much negativity here ? Soon, injured players are back, Moses & Mikel are coming from Africa the team will be much stronger & Rafa is guiding them to top four.

[Santiago. 1,500]

How the hell is he still at the club?

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

We have so many more difficult games to play. Both Mancs away, Liverpool away, Tottenham home (god I'm gonna cry if the Fat One fucks up our home record against them), Everton, Swansea... If we keep playing like this, then even the visits to St. Mary's and Villa Park will be anything but easy.

I just wonder how far the board's stubbornness will go. When are they going to do the only right thing 'to keep the club moving in the right direction' because we really are entering the vital part of the season.

[bushman 2,043]

Currently, there is hardly anyone to replace Rafa. Therefore, he stays for several more months.

[DDA 9,924]

After 60 mins or so in the game before the last one, we were 11 points ahead of Arsenal. Now its 5. We're fucked because we're a disgraceful gutless side with a shit manager. I now believe the top 4 will contain 2 teams from Manchester and 2 from scummy North London. 13 games to go including Tottenham at home, Everton at home, Liverpool away, Man Utd away, Man City away, we're in absolute shit street. Brace yourselves for a truly horrible end to the season.

Why is that worrying?

Rafa is nororious for beating top clubs then losing to shit teams. Maybe it will be an amazing end to the season if he stays true to form. Top 4 all the way.

Pills? No my friend, it is called Jack Daniels!

Knowing our luck Nigeria will beat Ivory Coast today.

Knowing our luck we won't win the CL going past Barcelona and Bayern with messi robben and schweinsteiger missing penaltys and basically playing poor the entire way through.....

Oh wait....
