Benitez may have inherited a top 4 side, but thats exactly what it was, a team battling for 4th place that was never gonna go any higher, never able to challenge the big 3, benitez has changed all that, he has made the big 3 the big 4 now, Tottenham and Jol have done well but they are a long way away from making it the big 5 in the premiership. Jol has cleverly used the league tables to make him look good in regards too tottenham and liverpools league positions in recent history, but in essence there has always been an elite group of teams in the premiership and a chasing pack, and liverpool and tottenham have been part of that chasing pack.
But i now firmly believe that benitez has pushed us up into that elite group, that is a massive achievement as it is, (along with the EUROPEAN CUP JOL!!!) and even though tottenham appear to be knocking on the door its just another false dawn for the spurs fans, they are and they will remain, still part of that illusive 'chasing pack'
THE END
