Because anything more is unrealistic. Believing in such nonsense is setting yourself up for disappointment

So we should set our sights on 5th, 6th next year?

No reason we can't finish in the top 4, you look at arsenal's squad and i honestly don't know how they finished so far ahead of us. I think our squad is stronger, but i guess they have Van Persie.

We shouldn't be anywhere. You have to earn fourth spot, people don't seem to realise we aren't the successful club we once were.


Jammer you could be quite happy to float around the middle to top half of the table for many years. But I would like to bet FSG are not as relaxed about it as you are.

And we have King Ken and Andy Carroll

Unfortunately the landscape of football would have to change in order to give us a chance to challenge again the only problem is if that happend it would also give rivals such as other big Clubs like Everton, Villa, Newcastles and so on and so forth a level chance with us. I just think we need to accept there are bigger Clubs than us now and clubs with more power and money, commodities which rule and dictates football, when I first started going Liverpools rivals were Leeds United and Nottingham Forest there fans eventualy accepted they were no longer a force and were replaced by Villa and Ipswich early 80's, then our rivals turned to Everton and Arsenal mid to late 80's, we then fell away to bigger Clubs like United, Arsenal last ten years Chelsea and now Man City, it's just footballs evolution, we missed the boat like Leeds and Forest back then and have just faded away into the background.

I would say fifth is a decent season fourth is a great season.

But obviously our dealings in the summer will have a big impact on our expectations. But I think it will be a fairly quiet close of season for us

Henry will want fourth END OF. In fact he may want it now plans may be already there for Dalglish to get his marching orders. Ian Rush sorry Liverpool are not Leeds or Forest YET !! Which is why I get so frustrated at the lack of action from our owners and the lack of ambition from some fans. I cannot understand it especially the fans.
