Berba and Saha are surely not the same, for a start Berba hasn't shattered into millions of tiny pieces. Costas????

Although I believe we have the strength in depth it is not our god given right to a haul of 5 trophies just cos we are in them, all the lads will have to put in some really hard shifts before the end of the season comes around. Get the three points against Fulham is important, it will definately demoralise the dippers, cos when they come to OT it would then be a do or die game for them. Inter will be a tough test but one I believe we can overcome, SAF must play his strongest side in both legs IMO for us to get through to the next round. Couldn’t agree more eaststand.

As for the article; it certainly seems that way. Let's not count are chickens before they've hatched though, eh? We've got an important next 10 days or so when we get the chance to cement out lead at the top, give ourselves a headstart in the CL and win a final. We'll see after that if we're still on course to be making such claims. There’s a whiff of the gloryhunter in that comment, Jon Jonson.
