If we finish above Manchester United

[dm]

It would be the first time since 1986. 
  IF this does happen,  who would take their place as the club that’s finished above us for the longest time currently?
I suspect it would be Manchester City.
   I’m aware that I could work it out by trawling through final league tables, but I was wondering if anyone here may know without needing to look it up.

If we still had Moyes then finishing above both Man U and Spurs would have been a certainty.

With Mr flakey in charge I honestly don’t see us moving.

That Alkmaar lead will be wiped out within the first 10 mins on Thurs. Mark my words.

Spuds are the best team left in the comp unfortunately

Fwiw, I think Spurs might turn up on Thursday and turn AZ over, maybe even comfortably. Man Utd game interesting too.

They have a great opportunity to win the Europa League, so I wouldn’t get too cocky just yet.

It appears AZ Alkmaar currently have the greater opportunity, Chutney son, so I'd possibly take on some of your own advice.

Your sole achievement this season will be finishing above possibly one of the worst West Ham United sides I've seen for quite a few seasons.

Just imagine if I had said that to you at the start of the season, Chutney son?

[Mad Ferret]

Really can't see us finishing above Sp*rs 

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Finishing above Man Utd and Spurs should be the goal of this season. Fuck all else to play for.

There’s no need to be nasty mate.  It’s simply a football statistic and unfortunately shows how they’ve consistently been beater than us for a long time. Unfortunately.

I did mean currently.  For ages Arsenal and Man Utd were the two clubs that had constantly finished above us since 1986. But we did finish above Arsenal about three or four years ago.  
We were literally one missed penalty from finishing above Man Utd a few years ago. 

[Pshyco scored all 4]

I think we will finish ahead of them .  But so will Bournemouth Fulham crystal palace Brighton and notts forest . They are a poor side ATM but the media will never admit it . Same with Tottenham.

Blimey, I bet you're a racket at parties, mate. 

[Gank]

What’s your criterion here, is it the club who has finished above us for the most consecutive seasons in all of history?

Because that wouldn’t be Manchester City.

If it is the team that has finished above us every single season since Manchester United finished below us, that’s more likely to be Arsenal, possibly Liverpool.
