I am delighted

Today shows if your come fourth you are nobodies.

Hopefully fans will now realise accepting mediocrity is not good enough!!

I will be happy if it happened very year, the CL winners come out of the top 4 in their country, managers and fans may aim higher than 4th place!!

If I'm not mistake we have no qualifiers now, straight to groups.
Got the top Europa slot from the FA Cup final, which is higher than the league slot Tottenham now have.

Incorrect. We enter at the Group stage.

I find the idea of a Liverpool supporter settling for 8th in the league slightly puzzling. :roll:

With the history of Liverpool I would expect nothing less than a Champion's league place as 'delightful'. :?

You obviously are not a lifelong supporter? :oops:
The older I get the better I was.

Usual story. Too busy banging on about your prejudices to actually pay attention to the context.
