[i]The Blues lie fourth in the table, seven points adrift of leaders Manchester United, who have a game in hand,[i]
Bit easy that never once thought this season they would finish outside of the top four dont remember you saying it either but I do remember you saying we would finish 3rd behind chelsea.

And IIRC, Man Utd were league favourites before the start of the season, so that wasn't expected. You seem to think Hiddink has worked near miracles. He came in to coach a team packed with world class players with a recent history of winning things and got results. That's it.
When Hiddink came in, we were 2 weeks from playing Juve in the Champions League. Scolari's last game against Italian opposition resulted in a 3-1 defeat against Rome. We'd just been beaten 2-0 by Liverpool and the month earlier we'd been spanked 3-0 at Manchester United. A defeat to Juve was a serious prospect.
I don't think he's worked near miracles, I just think he's done a significantly better job than Benitez.
