It's a very real possibility. The rest of Europe is getting stronger, especially in Germany. Wouldn't be surprised to see this the case in a year or two. Fourth might suffice this year, but probably not indefinitely.

Pretty valid point if you look back at the next set of co-efficients to go from 2008-09 where we had 3 semi-finalists and 2 finalists again compared to pretty much just Bayern for Germany.

It's okay though because van Staplecunt will propel United into the latter stages even though they're not a great side and thereby allow us to continue scraping CL qualification with 4th place. Wenger you crafty bugger. Arsene knows :barscarf:

Still more points than Italy or France so far this season and it doesn't really matter if you're third or second :wink:

Good, hope it just goes down to the first placed team, i.e. the champions, like it should anyway.

Scare mongering. So we've dropped from best in europe to number 2... ahh! we're doomed! :roll: :lol:

With teams like Citeh, Chelsea and Man Utd around, I think it's a bit OTT to start worrying about a dark age in English football.
