Top 6 and a cup SF is the minimum I would expect, especially with no european football.
Top 4 and a cup would be out of this world but still could be achievable IF we get those extra few signings and the current top 4 don't suddenly spend big from somewhere. Both league and FA cups are what, only 6-7 extra games for each?
We just need some consistency and for the bloody players to actually turn up at away matches, if we lose to the likes of Hull, Wolves, Burnley, Stoke, Sunderland, Bolton etc I am going to be frigging disgusted with this squad. With our spending since Hughes joined (if we do sign Tevez & either eto'o/villa) we could have bought half the teams in the PL and just played their under-16's against us ;-)
