Whatever happens at least we're keeping up our end of the bargain and beating everyone that's put in front of us in the faint hope that Manchester United will lose two of their final four games and, provided we win our final three, we take the Premier League crown this season.
And that's not a line you will have heard said in realistic terms at any point over the last 19 years since we were last champions of all England. To be able to say it is in itself an achievement despite the ethos of this club dictating that if you are second you are nowhere.
To still mathematically have a chance with three games to go is a massive step under Rafa Benitez. And given the series of setbacks we've suffered this season with injuries to Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard as well as countless silly draws, that is progress.
I don't think we'll do it being brutally honest. With the form United are in it is incredibly hard to see them capitulating now given they have made a habit of doing the business when it really matters.
Still, their run in isn't easy. Rivals Arsenal and Man City at home, tough away games at always difficult Wigan (although who would be surprised if Steve Bruce, United to the core, let his side roll over and be beaten) and relegation battling Hull City on the last day.
It would be an achievement to take it to the last day and that is a realistic goal. Of course it is all dependent on us maintaining our winning run. Not an easy task when we face Europe chasing West Ham at Upton Park next weekend, never an easy place to go.
But despite the odds being stacked firmly against us we are playing well, scoring goals and winning and that is the form of title contenders, which we have been and still are, no doubt about it.
