I wouldnt say theyre out of it but I would say its time for us to start trying to determine who our real challenger is.

We were 8 points behind rags with six to go and we did it. now they have 33 games time to claw back 11.
or, another example. Last season, after 21 games & after 32 games:
Chelsea 49 -> 73p
City 47 -> 61p
rags 37 -> 66p
arse 36. -> 65p
so, arse took 16 points more than us, rags took 15 points more than us. and bloody no-one predicted after those 21 rounds that arse would then win 10/11 and especially that City would be as shite as we were.
Good teams can suddenly go on an amazing run. Good teams can suddenly hit a rough patch.
IT HAS BEEN ONLY FIVE ROUNDS FFS.
It's not looking likely and I wouldnt put money on them, but far too early to rule them out.

At the same time, logically I look at their side, and like Scouse 2, I don't think they have the guile or creativity to break teams down week after week, which you need to compete for the title. I think the shit will be out of it before the Derby at the swamp.
So that leaves Arse.
Come on Blues!

I think they'll keep grinding results whilst playing their turgid football, wouldn't be surprised if they're our closest challengers.

It did cross my mind that cup exits could allow them to do Scouse2 type run in the league. But they would have to be proper shit to not get through that group in Europe

Tough one for Jose. After their start a cup or at least a final is a must. Where to focus the resources in the "big" games....
