It’s fucking depressing. I don’t understand where this sense of entitlement is coming from. I know this is disappointing but some of the comments are like we are about to go down.

Brummies are depressing. Not much depressing about our season and getting Champions League football for the first time in my lifetime, together with the longest European Cup run in 40 years.

Funny thing is I realised we're in the Europa League at the very least anyway, and I thought, you know, that's not bad at all.

I really, really, REALLY want to finish fourth, but fifth would still be our best finish in absolutely ages.

For us to finish 5th it will take a gargantuan effort by a team that’s lost 4 straight games. I know it’s not looking great for us right now but I’d rather have the 7 point cushion than being the team that needs to overcome it.

It would be difficult, given it doesn't exist. (unless you're referring to something set up by Aldaniti's jockey)

After the season we've had though, it would feel like getting a shit sandwich as dessert in a Michelin star restaurant. We also really, really need the income it would generate next season. We could also do with not letting Spurs have that extra income. We're miles behind our top 6 rivals in terms of revenue, so we need to grasp every opportunity we get to play catch up.

I couldn't bear to get fifth now. I know it was never a binary choice between trophy and league but 5th now will make the season feel like a failure, whereas if we missed out on CL but had a pot in hand...well, that might draw the sting a bit.
