I'm with Dave on this one.  I would never dared dream that we could be in a serious fight for a Champions League place never mind leading it.  Of course it would be a disappointment of the cruelest kind if we were to finish 5th - particularly when in any other year British teams performance would have been enough to secure us the extra CL place - but if it did happen I would still be proud of our team and take the Europa league spot.  It desperately isn't what I want at all, but Unai Emery has transformed this club from being no hopers under a over hyped has been to a real contender and I know he will be far less happy than any of us about finishing lower than 4th and not winning a European trophy. Thanks Unai and let's give it a real go today and Thursday!
