Top Four Syndrome.

[valdeingruo]

Top Four Syndrome is the term I use when a supporter of a club, regardless of actual league position makes statement that would make a Fulham (or similar stature club) go "what are you on about?"

A few examples would be:

Wayne Rooney is past it.

Mignolet is a rubbish signing, we really are past it.

Benzema isnt good enough.

they did need a new striker Torres is rubbish but I don't think it will b a crucial signing and I don't think Chelsea will win the prem though

Please provide your own examples.

Spurs will be challenging for the league title next season

[St Eve]

Stoke will finish in the top four now they have an ambitious manager

Wenger will be fired

[Forever Fulham]

Duff is rubbish.

"You support Fulham? What division are they in?"

"Winning the Europa League just isn't good enough"

"I remember the dark days when we didn't get in the Champions League for 2 seasons..."

"I'd go to matches but I can't afford it" (Whilst wearing branded leisurewear from club shop that probably costs the price of two or three matchday tickets.

"I only watch Champions League football. Everything else is pish" (Genuine conversation with a Glasgow Rangers fan in Niemegen).

Spurs will finish above Arsenal.
QPR are too big for the Championship.
Crystal Palace should aim for Europe.
West Brom should fire Stevie Clarke after their second half of the season - where's his ambition?

"Have you got the new JLS album?"

"Fulham?! Why the hell do you support them? They haven't won anything in years!"

[grandad]

I support Manchester Utd, but I´ve never been to Manchester. It´s so far from Surrey.

[Jack Fulham]

A lot of stuff football fans say stuff that makes me think 'what are you about'. With top 4 clubs its more common as they have more fans therefore more idiots.

"I've always been a Mann Yoo, supporter. Even before they bought Von Pertwee. I never miss a match from Old Trafford...Amazing how they get the wicket looking so good after all that football, isn't it?"

Ashley Young/Nani/Torres/Walcott/Dzeko etc etc are poo

Inter don't have a chance. Once Brendan arrives on the scene, Richards won't be able to resist the charm of the 5 times European champions. #YNWA #bestRBintheleague
