I said a few weeks back that I thought the 4th place trophy was yours to lose this season and nothing I saw today made me change my mind.
I'm sure some of you might be thinking we can do better than 4th and that might be true but you will have underachieved this season if your not in next season champions league, Leicester won't last the pace and Chelsea are having a gap year while Liverpool are behind you on points and in strength and qualitytoo at the moment.

Totally agree, its ours to lose. If he makes PL the priority 3rd or 4th is very possible. Why he's doing an AVB in the Europa and not a Harry is odd and could cost him his job, because as it stands if we don't get a CL place he should be sacked and playing your strongest team in the Europa borders on stupid.

I don't usually comment but Lucas Hood are you completely delusional, Poch has got us playing well and as a manager he wants what the fans want and that is silverware, would his CV look better with a Uefa Cup on it or a 4th place finish. Why wouldn't we want to win the Uefa Cup. We as fans should be eager to push on in cup competitions, I'd love to see spurs in the Champions League but it would also be nice to win something and this will bring a winning mentality to the team.

And winning Europa would put us in Champions League - so why wouldn't we pursue both options?

Tough ask winning the Europa league and finishing top 4, not impossible but very very big ask.

FA Cup or Europa? Which has the better prestige and represents the better financial decision?

Neither, they are both poor and nothing to gloat about. Play the kids off this supposed conveyour belt of world class youth we have got in all the cups. Concentrate on the PL like Harry and get 3rd or 4th and its job done. CL is the objective so who cares about FA and Europa Cups, they are just a drain on a squad that has a couple of players with a bit magic and one striker.

There is no point trying to get into the CL, Lucas, if we succeed and then either fail to get out of the group or fail to finish top 4. The team has to get used to taking Europe seriously whilst mounting a strong league campaign. That means doing what we are doing now.

CL has to be the no. 1 target Wulf. Weve been in Europes second tier 8 out of 10 years isn't it? Should we do another 8 years so that the likes of Mason, Bentaleb and Rose can get used to it? If the club wants to sign a higher standard of player and keep Hugo and Kane then the modern game says CL is a must. 5th and an FA Cup won't cut it.

So we should strive to win the 4th place trophy, sign some better quality players and get knocked out of the CL in the first or second round of the knockout stages?

Is that how we measure success now?

My point exactly bucks - and some amongst us laugh at them for it, whilst others here appear to aspire to be them.

How often do we get past the first few knockout rounds of the Europa then? Do you prefer signing players like Trippier rather than a Raf VDV? Anyone who laughs at a team for qualifing for the CL 18 years on the spin and means it, is showing their intelligence. Its really funny watching your rivals earn tens of millions from CL each year whilst we earn peanuts from the Europa.

Lucas you criticise Levy for his business sense when it comes to our team which in turn makes us financially stronger then claim we should measure our success based potential income from competitions, strange! Coming 4th isn't success, winning a competition is, just saying!

I get what your saying 1985, but in the modern game the best players want CL. The attraction and money it brings, you don't get that from winning the FA Cup anymore. Anyway I do like Levy and I think he is a top businessman. Just critical of him concerning the purse strings when we were on the brink of the next level.
