If there was ever a season for a team to sneak past and into those top spots it might be this one. Arsenal are defensively wobbly, Liverpool inconsistent and lacking guile, Chelsea aging and lacking confidence.
For the record I doubt they will do it. I think they are in a false position but if you are in February and in with a shot (which they are, sorry fellow Sunderland supporters) then they should bust a guy to try and do it. I am pretty sure the chances of European football are what convinced Ashley to buy another proper striker and refuse to sell any key assets, until the summer at least. He likes a silly gamble after all.
Will they fail? My gut feeling odds calculator says 95% but if we were in their position, I would expect us to put our bodies on the line and do whatever we could to make it - those 5% chances do win once in a while. No doubt Toonies will think I belittle their odds but whatever, at least I agree they have a chance.
I actually think both Sunderland and Newcastle may emerge in the next year or two as part of a new big 8. All power to it I say - I would die happy watching us stuff em in a European final.

That could be it, he has abit of the Harry Redknap about him in that it's the teams/players fault when they lose but it was his doing when they win?
This luck thing really does make me laugh.
Blackburn didn't equalise because they are ****. We scored 2, 1 deflection but that's all Brighton beat us by, nothing said then? It's swings and roundabouts.
Was beating Man Utd lucky, was beating you lot lucky? We were robbed against Chelsea and Liverpool scored their 2nd from a free kick that never was. It has gone against us on many occasions as well as going for us. We're 5th on merit, some of you spasticated lot are too bitter to admit it.
If we get into Europe, I will be delighted, and it would have been earned over 38 games.
I bet it makes some of you sick to the bone, although you won't admit it, that without Demba and Tiote we have actually done ok, even though some of you were predicting you would be ahead by now.
