What day is it?

seeing as this forum is heavily populated by top 4 'fans'....I know what the responce is going to be. The top 4 needs breaking and I'm glad its looking likely to be my team that breaks them. Villa where unlucky not to do so aswell last year |

Succeed in breaking the top 4, it's becoming stale and boring knowing who the top 4 teams are going to be every year. The gap between 4th and 5th was big last season and Arsenal weren't even good in the first half of the season. I'd prefer it if a club like Everton or Villa were the ones to do it with not spending as much money. I don't want City winning the league.

I want somebody to break the top 4 but most definitely not City and their millions. I'd much rather Everton did it than Villa too, because of their lack of spending. City's overspending is absolutely ridiculous and it will be interesting to see if they end up getting a new manager every few months if Hughes fails this season and nobody else can succeed. Maybe it'd become as much a poisoned chalice as the Newcastle job Actually, no, that's not possible is it?

Don't think there's much chance of Everton or Villa breaking into the top 4 for more than a one off season. You saw last year how Arsenal didn't perform wel lfor the first half but still ended up comfortable in the top 4 come the end. |

villa and everton wont do it unless they spend!!!!! what was the main action that secured arsenal in the top4 last season??? It was when they went out and signed arshavin! Everton and villa didnt have that luxuary and thats why they couldnt break the top 4 |

Sure they probably won't break the top 4, especially now Villa have lost Barry. But I don't think City breaking the top 4 would offer much satisfaction to people because of the amount of money they've spent. I'd like to see the top 4 broken but by fairer means I guess. It wouldn't be an incredible surprise bearing in mind the money they've spent, would it? After this season it won't be a top 4 it'll be a top 5. Wow, big changes. Not. |

Obviously I'd like us to succedd... But I doubt it will happen this season.... I think top 6 is much more realistic, and then the season after we can really do some damage |

I don't think it's possible for a club to break and then maintain a position in the top 4 without spending big money to ketchup. Not a surprise but it'd be somebody different at least and some club to actually challenge the top 4 instead of it being predictable. |

Exactly, it'd be nice to see a proper club like Spurs, Everton or Villa push the top four close. |

The main reason is that Arsenal were too good already and Villa crumbled. |

I hope they succeed. The top 4 sides upto last summer had the pick of who they wanted, now another team has entered the mix it will create more competition at that end of the table. Everybody knew it would take such a senario that occured at City to break the top 4, fair play to Moyes and MON for getting the maximum from their respective teams but talk of either breaking the top 4 was fantasy, money and lots of it is the reality of how to challenge. |
