We ARE in the top four, at a relatively safe distance from the chasing pack, four points off the top. We have the two best strikers in the division, and have scored most goals. We have every right to compete for the title. Our leaky defense could be out undoing, but there's no reason not to compete for it.
I said it's still possible, and we absolutely should be competing for it. But if we finished 3rd this season, I'd be thrilled with the improvement. It can happen, and I hope it does, but I don't think Chelsea AND city will slip up.
