Because, on form, they are well ahead at the moment. Not saying that won't change, necessarily, but if it's based it on anything, it might a well be that.

You've got to say fair play to Saudi Sportswashing Machine for this season. People have been predicting that they will collapse all season but they've gone on and on and, with 7 games left, they're on the same points as Chelsea and just 2 off 4th place. And still, they're mostly ignored when people talk about who will finish in the CL places.
I also feel a little sorry for Carroll now. Imo, it was the club who mostly pushed for the move, they probably couldn't believe their luck when they were offered 35 million. He's looked like a mess this second half.
