Let's be honest, fourth is a *bit* like a trophy, isn't it.

Otherwise why are we all getting so worked up about it?

Not sure who is nicking Giroud's though

After 16 years, the worm has definately turned.

Some might say we're being realistic, but there's an unhealthy dose of apologists in amongst the new mindset.

I really fancy us to win on Sunday, comfortably

We lose van Persie last season and we are 'bang average' to use your terminology.

Barcelona's standard would drop if Messi was missing for a period of time.

It is not unknown for a side to have a star performer, Bale is theirs at the moment.

He's a top level footballer in good form, the refusal of some on here to accept that is utterly ridiculous (not necessarily you btw). If he has a poor game on sunday it won't change that.

In general they're a decent side this year. We shoudl have signed Dembele.
