Here is how to get into the Top Four

[Kendall]

In Jols second and third season we came very close to getting there. It's not as hard as some people believe. I think it's almost a psychological barrier, like beating Chelsea or Arsenal. There's no reason why we couldn't do it, we just didn't believe we could.

All we needed was 2 more points in 05/06 and a few more in 06/07. Those extra points were well within our capability. Our problem is almost certainly consistency, especially from the midfield players. If your midfielders are inconsistent, the team is inconsistent and results are inconsistent.

I love Berba, but he's part of the problem. As good as he is, he often doesn't turn up for games. That said there are many times when he's simply got no supply. The same inconsistency can be found with Jenas, Lennon and Huddlestone. Usually they seem to have their off days at the same time, there's no one there to snap them out of it.

Not in 06/07 - we really were nowhere near. We finished 5th, only on the last day & we were miles behind Arsenal for the whole season.

There are two points: 1) that it is both possible and realistic. 2) just behind the mountain you see is another even taller peak.
