What sort of achievement is it to finish fourth, possibly more than 30 points behind the eventual champions and closer in points terms to relegation. And what sort of achievement is it to win the UEFA Cup, which although there are some big names, is a competition for those teams who frankly are not good enough to compete in the CL.
Don't all fall for Houllier's spin making out that if we finish fourth we will have met our targets. It's a disgrace. Did you watch what Arsenal did to Porsmouth at the weekend? Weren't they sensational? We've played Portsmouth three times this season and haven't won yet.
But, yes, if we finish fourth, Houllier, Parry and Moores will say that the critics were all wrong and hooray, we are in the CL. Meanwhile, Arsenal are out of sight........
