Who is/are going to finish fourth?

Whilst obviously we are all concerned who the bottom three are going to be at the end of the season, the top three places look to be have been claimed already - but who is going to finish fourth?.

It wasn't that long back that the big 'four' included Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool - but it seems at least two of these clubs won't make the champions League next year - maybe all three!

So who will finish fourth this season?

hard one to call, because they are so inconsistent, (for them), but I think Arsenal might just creep in there, especially as we are going to dent Chelsea's chances even more when we meet

I think Arsenal will do it. Chelsea will come back but too inconsistant ATM.

I will say Chelsea just because I think they will sack AVB and bring in a top manager who will get them playing again........most probably before our game with them in 2 weeks.

I refuse to comment on this thread until sluffy corrects the title.

Haha, welcome back Nat.

Should it be 'Who is going to finish fourth?' - otherwise you're going to have to spell it out for me because I don't know where I've gone wrong?

Think it will be Chelsea myself!

Yes.

Sluffy out.

Actually Sluffy could be right as Football teams names are a collective, and as such would be "are" instead of "is".

You're Dutch, what do you know?

Tottenham are going to finish fourth?

I've only lived in Holland 5 years and 6 days, if you don't mind, matey!!!









And, anyway, there are more Dutchies who speak and write more perfect English than English people. They are taught english from the age of 5 in schools.



The worst thing is one of my friends who is English, actually cannot spell Wednesday. He spells it Wensday!!!

I'm no grammar expert but 'are' sounds right and 'is' sounds wrong to me.

I had to tell my girlfriend how to spell February today, she didn't know it had 2 r's in it. It's ok though she is only a primary school teacher,

Arsenal will finish 4th because they have Robin Van Persie (or because they don't have Torres or Carroll)

No Comment! I actually trained to be a primary school teacher, as well.

"more perfect" doesn't look like perfect English to me.

'Dutchies'. We always knew them as cloggies, (not in a nasty way). Stationed on the German /Dutch border, and found the cloggies to be an excellent bunch of people. Very pro-British as well

When you see how a lot of British people write and think they are perfect, of which even I know I am not, then you will realise as to why I used "more perfect"



Problem is we all fall into bad habits when writing, but still believe we are good at our own language.

They are a good bunch of people, and as you say, they are very pro-British, which is fantastic - in fact both our cultures are very very similar, yes there are some slight differences but not many at all. But that can be a problem when trying to learn their language as when they hear the accent, they respond back in English!



And yes both terminologies are used - Dutchies and cloggies
