how close do we need to be.....

The Reading debacle sealed it for me.

Was sceptical when the season started, but then we won at Villa and Torres looked epic against the Chavs. Maybe, just maybe...

Another false dawn though.

Still we have all three cups to play for, a format we excel at.

That's what we are, a cup team. We can beat anyone on our day and over 2 legs I really would fancy us against anyone.

I don't think Rafa's quite got the hang of the league yet. We're behind City, embarrisingly equal on points with the blue sh!te and Portsmouth and only 5 points ahead of Newcastle! Granted we have a game in hand but at this stage of the season I would've hoped we would be more in touch with the leaders than we are right now.

of course anything could still happen and we could go on an incredible run but realistically it probably won't happen.
