We are not contenders

After the result at Bolton we are not contenders.

But with results since improving, and us being (ahem) 4 points off 4th, we're now back in the race.

There you go Chicken, your turn

So in this exact moment you think we're not contenders for top 4?

Ok genius, when, in your opinion will be contenders for top 4?

=================

When your squad is better than Chelsea's, Arsenal's & Newcastle's.

At the moment, i dont believe it is. Hence i dont consider you as contenders.

I think thats a fair basis for my point of view.

You wont agree because its your club. Outsiders will.

Ah right, so it doesn't depend on league position or form now. It depends on squad strength in your opinion?

But I thought it depended on where we are in the league, how many teams we've got to 'leapfrog' and how many points behind 4th we are?

=======================

All of the above.

Which still has Liverpool in 6th - not 4th.

Hmmm why was this important factor of squad strength not mentioned 2 weeks ago?

Back then you were saying it was all down to league position etc etc.

Again, all of the above. They are all factors. League position being the biggest one where 4th is concerned, naturally.

redrob,

Not about where we are now though is it. All about where we are come May.

====================

That is true. But we cannot predict the future, we can only have an educated based opinion on it.

I didnt claim i was educated. I just said all we can do is have an educated opinion on it, as in look at where teams currently are & make a view on it from there.

You have to admit that is better logic than thinking 6th = 4th.
