Bo Benn

That is very impressive considering his side has never qualified for any of the big tournaments.

a good enough lineup I think. A bit harsh on Benayoun though.

Fowler is a free agent, so we can sign him regardless

Could someone please explain how that is a Chelsea freekick?

Won't have any of such superstitious nonsense at this club thank you. Blaming the club's problems, or Keane's for that matter, on squad numbers is really focusing on the wrong thing and wasting energy where it shouldn't be.

But not impossible

We don't have the players. End of. Rafa makes his mistakes but it is the quality of the squad that is letting us down. So many players have been below par over the whole season or not really good enough to begin with for us to compete: Aurelio, Dossena, Babel, Benayoun, Lucas, Keane, El-Zhar, N'Gog, Kuyt and perhaps even Arbeloa and Riera. Not saying it is not impossible to win the league still. We have seen games were players listed above have risen and made the teams look awesome. Together with great talents like Gerrard, Torres, Reina our four CBs and Mascherano and Alonso we can beat anyone. With them in the squad we will always be top 10 in europe and on the day we can be fecking invincible. Can we pull our socks up we could easily bring home a a few league wins on the trot, believe me we will until the end of the season. But we are still short. Not as short as any other season since about 2002 but we still need a few better players. It will bring us 5 or 7 more points in the league. Like any other club with any other manager we will still drop unnecessary points, even at home. The Premier League is THAT good nowadays. But I still think we are suffering now because our squad is not strong enough. There are a few nagging things about this club that might be crippling us down even more right now but you can't look past our starting XI and the substitutes bench when looking for answers about our league position.
