We're fifth now. It's been my target from day 1, and while recent results have been poor, today's rather impressive showing against a solid midtable Serie A side gives me some mild optimism that we can achieve it.

Of course if Samp beat Napoli tomorrow night they leapfrog us, but top 6 really isn't that bad.

It also shows how rotten everyone is outwith Roma and Juve that the gap between third and 11th is 6 points.

I must say I have to subscribe to what Han said - while consistency will always let us down, anyone can realistically nab third spot in this league. For us to have been 8th a few draws ago, one single win throws us up to fifth. I still don't think we'll get third, but I'd be absolutely over the moon with it.

Pippo put out a team which got a good result tonight. If he's not a total fucking idiot he'd just put the same team out next match, with De Jong in Essien's place, obviously.

Napoli's brief foray into being a very good team seems over - in their past 7 games they've drawn 3 times and won 4. It's ok, but not the heights they've previously been achieving. They previously were the third place setters but they've lost momentum in the past 6 months.
