Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being cautious talking about winning the title - I guess all of our beliefs are a mixture of hope and expectation.
Obviously we all hope we all hope we win but given that we are significantly ahead of the curve given our original target, let alone our expectations, I can't criticise those who are counselling everyone to keep cool heads.
Having said that, there is a growing belief that we are right in the mix for the top spot. We have major players ready to come back for us, no european distraction and momentum.
Perhaps the biggest advantage though is that we have Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez.
Frankly put, when you look back through the careers of players at that level they simply win things - Maradonna, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Cantona are irrepressible. None of the other teams have individual players with significantly more claim to win this league than the likes of our top stars.
We deserve to be where we are, when it comes to lifting the trophy, why not us?*
