I'd take 4th.
For many Spurs fans (and plenty of Arsenal fans it seems) their greatest pleasure comes from their most hated rivals suffering somehow.
For me, I enjoy my team doing well and anything bad happening to Spurs is simply a bonus.
Well thats a no brainer because 4th means you've won fuck all vs you'd have won the European Cup. Remember that if you win the European Cup now you automatially get to defend it; league position is irrelevant due to the Liverpool precedent recently when they were too shite to manage 4th and had a big cry about it, just like they will do when they cock up winning anything again this season.
He's also bought some utter dross. Lucas? My god, what a waste of space he is. He makes Kuyt look skillful.
Lucas is an utter joke. Not counting Cheyrou he's the worst player I have seen wear the red shirt since the managerial days of Souness...
What about Josemi (who peaked in pre season)
Also that 'winger' that was part of the Micheal Owen deal to Real Madrid, he was woeful!
Not forgetting D'jimmy 'the worst player to have a champion league winners medal' Traory.
Oh and Jamie 'The Wrestler' Water-Carrier (ok not in the same bad league as the others, but he's soooo overrated.)
+ Robbie 'Seven Million for Six months loan' Keane
(the only mistake the ref made in the match)
Add Dossena to the pile o'dross - I forgot about that slow loaf of a full back. The only class full back at the club (Arbeloa is good but not exceptional and I do not blame him for the goal, which was class) is Insua.
