We are still in the title race

[Owen20]

I'm starting to think the "Unthinkable" possible, and that we may NOT finish 4th.

Yeah, we're playing **** football, and still 4th at the moment, but if we continue to play **** football, then I think we could miss out!

****in depressed about our **** situation!

[Marshy]

We play boring **** football and we don't challenge for the title - simply not good enough.....but Rafa must be allowed to show us what he can do for the rest of the season, getting rid now is not an option for us.

[alunevans]

Well we CAN yes but it won't be easy.

City and Villa especially will offer a real threat. Everton are looking a team too to be honest.

It's a four way race. It's not at all guaranteed.

[alunevans]

It's not. It's an absolute minimum requirement.

Quite. I think any manager who cant get us in the top 4 has to go and I've said that for years and years.

I still have more doubts about the Americans than I do about Rafa, which means that even though I've voted no in the "still got faith" vote, I want Rafa to stay.

But should we finish 5th or worse then it's an automatic sacking in my book. After all, thats what a minimum requirement means to me.

I just wish Rafa would give himself a chance.

[AFII]

Yes, if Torres can stay fit.

[alunevans]

Yes, if Torres can stay fit.

Actually thats a hell of a point. If we lost Torres for any length of time, who have we got when there's only him and Gerrard scoring goals?

[Joe King]

'4th is the new 1st'

That was the motto under Ged. I seriously thought we could get 2nd this season but that dream is slipping away.

We'll be right up there once we hammer Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd away!!

i love that attitude but question your sanity.

possible, yes

but its also possible that i will shag carmen electra tonight, but that wont happen , well maybe when i go to sleep, it will

[Darth Marty]

yes, we will comfortably get 4th but only because the top 3 are so ****ing far ahead of us they will beat everyone of our competitors and whilst we are playing ****e we are still there or thereabouts. But thats not good enough is it.

I'm not joking. Why can't we go there and beat all three of them away??

I'm confident we can and believe we will. The time's coming for us to beat these three away, if they can come to our place and beat us then we can go to their place and beat them.

It's all in the mind, too much negative thinking on this site.

No wonder we always lose to the big three because no one has any self belief or confidence anymore.

There is no confidence because we are crap. We are struggling to catch up with the top three. We are now a mediocre side that scraps for fourth. The most decorated team in Britain struggling in January. FFS.

I know it hurts dude and I agree we're playing crap but we'll get it sorted soon, the team will turn it around. We were playing so well not so long ago, it's just a bad patch we're going through at the mo.

We've always been in a bad patch. We struggle to get any sort of consistancy. Its very disappointing and frankly spoils the week .
