Chelsea, Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Spurs uncatchable.
6th attainable?
IMO Bolton will drop off and I honestly feel we can challenge for 6th. 7th would even get us in Europe dependant on cup outcomes.
Challengers? Liverpool, Everton, Villa, Fulham.
We hold a small lead over all of them at this moment in time however I would be amazed if their opening 14 were as tricky as ours.
The draw against both scouse clubs could be a big result come the end of the season. We really need to hold our nerve versus the lesser sides. After the beachball incident last season I thought we could finish above Liverpool yet of inability to beat dross cost us dearly. Ive a feeling this season could be different.
No idea where this optimism came from but I see 10th as our worst case scenario at the minute.
(I bet we go down!)
