I've come up with a cunning compromise to unite our club once again and end the bitter fued of Arsene in Arsene out Arsene shake it all about once and for all, it will not only make all us fans happy it will tick all the boxes within the club board manger players sponsors everyone.
Ask your self this what if 4th really was the new 1st hear me out, how many teams have actually clinched the premier league title in April? Quite a few, but no team has ever in the history of the premier league clinched 4th spot in April many have secured top 4 by then but not 100% mathematically secured 4th place it's self, more often than not we go into the last game of the season where 4th is still all to play for between the 3rd 4th and 5th place teams so on these grounds I put it to you 4th is actually more difficult than 1st where all you have to do is win the most games thus getting more pionts than anyone else, now 4th is much more difficult because you have to lose draw and win exactly the right amount of games, win to few and you'll land on 5th but get too many and its a lottery where you end up it could be 3rd 2nd or even 1st.
And to win the league you have to spend well and get the best players you can possibly bring simples but 4th? You must not spend to much because you need a touch of brilliance but also just the right amount of under achievers to get the blend spot on but many or to few achievers and its anyone's guess what sort of crazy season you could end up having.
In view of this unarguable facts we have been under valuing our achievements for over a decade now without realising it, 4th really is the new 1st and its undeniable we really are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen.
We should embrace out 4thness with pride and have that open top bus and civic reception and once again enjoy being the envy of English football that we have been for so long without actually knowing it.

Because its the 4th place and most difficult and most prestigious trophy to win you actually get to choose the trophy you want, it can look just like the champions league trophy but bigger and more shiny or indeed the world cup or even the strictly glitter basically as the new undisputed 4th place champions you can't be palmed off with any old rubbish that's been handed down from generation to generation like the pair of family underpants we all remember having, part of the supreme honour bestowed on the newly crowned 4thplaceians is they decide what they get not some bloke from the 18th century with a dandruff problem.
