I have said multiple times that getting to 4th place has about 1% probability of happening. I am fully aware of that. I'm not blind nor delusional, even though it may seem that way.
What I am saying is that from the last 5 games, Inter has gotten 3 points from the possible 15. Don't tell me that they are not struggling....and they play Roma next. Roma has gotten 4 points out of the same 15 points on offer. My point is, even though we are far away, those 2 aren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard. We don't need everyone at the top to shit their pants in the second part of the season.....JUST 1 of them. The way things are going, Roma and Inter make a pretty good candidate for that.....and as I said, I just don't believe Lazio will keep this up to the end.
WHEN 1 of those 3 starts dropping points (like Roma and Inter have already done), we need to be there to pick up the slack. Unfortunately, in the month of December, we were just as bad (if not worse) that Roma/Inter. So now, all I'm saying is, all we can do is win several games in a row and see what happens.
Don't forget that we still have to play Roma, Inter and Lazio in a head to head.
This is why I can't understand why someone would hope we would lose as if the season is ALL over. It's not. there is a lot of football to be played.
Realistically, 6th place is the goal we can hope for at the present. But things can change dramatically. Question is, for the better or for the worse? We'll see...
