Was thinking about this the other day now that everything seems to be tightening up in the fight for 4th place. The team that i would most like to get 4th was a quite obvious choice for me in Aston Villa. As for the three others i found it very hard to think of which team i would least like to be in the Champions league next year.

First Liverpool, awful club and them not making it would be very funny as rafa continues to take the team further down the table. However should they get 4th I don't think they will be a threat in the title race next year.

Secondly spurs. Enough said.

Third is citeh. Now normally I would definitely prefer citeh to finish above spurs or liverpool, however they will attract some very big names with the offer of a fat wallet and Champions league football. That is a big worry for me and therefore why the team i would least like to finish 4th is Citeh.

Spurs. I would hate Spurs to get 19th spot when 20th was a possibility.

Tough choice. Obviously I'd hope Villa get 4th spot.

My heart says I'd hate Liverpool or the y*ds to get it.

My head says Man City must not get it or they'll be able to attract the players we are after in the summer.

But I voted Liverpool as I hate them the most!

Well, it is an obvious answer, but I would hate if we finished 4th.

i voted liverscum...let their decline continue...not fussed if villa or sp*rs get there...they will be knocked out in the qualifying round anyway...we have to face facts that citeh will get better and better so them getting in champs league is only a matter of time

Sp*rs by a mile. If the dippers don't make it Rafa could be out, and that would be a very bad thing.

Everton :D

My top-4 of the ones I hate to be fourth. In reverse I guess you could call it.

4. Aston Villa

- I like them. Doesn't spend fortunes, but still manages to have a good team. I would actually love if they got 2nd place after us even.

3. Tottenham

- Why do I dislike them? I honestly don't know. Is it part of being a Chelsea supporter?

2. Manchester City

- Sooner or later they're bound to be in the top four. They are doing what we did some time ago - splashing the cash.

They're growing and will be a future threat.

Still I've never had anything against them. This whole Bridge-gate has of course made me dislike them more and more, but I don't hate them.

1. Liverpool

- Can you imagine that before I joined this place I liked them. You have made me see the error of my ways and now I despise them. I try not to hate them, but it's not easy. They can get 4th spot, but not in Premier League. F*ck 'em

Tottenham, obviously.

Spuds in Europe, in the CL is a dreadful thought

Sp*rs by a mile. If the dippers don't make it Rafa could be out, and that would be a very bad thing.

I was all set to agree with every bit of Sals' reasoning, until I read this.

But I still think it would be fun if Liverpool missed out on 4th. As long as it was the kind of fun that some rich Saudi's didnt wanna spoil by buying them and sacking FSW

Up the Villans. If they win all their games in hand, they will have it. But they seem to be good at blowing it when the chips are down. They play City on Saturday March 1. Assuming one side doesnt run away with it, that will be a massive game.

After what happened a few years back, I am absolutely house-on-the-line confident that spurs will blow it. In late April they play Arsenal, ourselves, and then Man Utd.

Chose man citeh. If they made it, with the money and the allure of CL football, they would be able to sign Europe’s top talents. ( And that also means, Our X players have to look for another retirement club in MLS or Turkey. and our overall profits may be also affected. )

Thought of going for sp*s, but I believe that they have a very less chance or no chance at all.

Ideal 4th choice would be everton,because of moyes being a likeable manager than MON. But they wont make it this year anyway.

Not worth voting as the only team I'd hate to finish 4th (bar us!) is Liverpool and that clearly ain't gonna happen

Liverpool. Woud be good to see them crumble like leeds.

Liverpool all the way. I get giddy simply at the thought of them deprived of their "special European nights".

Spuds a very close second, but I can see them going down in flames if they make it in the CL, so that would be even more fun to watch

Very difficult question

Historical hatered tells me Spuds... I would hate it !

But I would so much love to see the demise of the Rat munchers.. if they not in CL .. lose star players... less revnue, kiss good bye to new stadium, Yanks finally pull out... would love it !

my order of preference would be as follows

1. villa - as the least obnoxious

2. city - whose fans are catching up fast with their nearest neighbours in the obnoxiousness stakes

3. liverpool - who are on the slide anyway and long may it continue. don't go rafa!!

4. tottenham - still far and away the team i'd most hate to be successful in any way shape or form.

The only teams I can remotely stand with any chance to make the 4 this year is Villa. I also don't mind Everton, but they won't threaten this season.

GO VILLA!

Don't go Liverpool.

EDIT: Wrong thread.
