By my reckoning in terms of ambition you've got the top clubs (Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal) followed by a few sides who are trying to improve and challenge (Liverpool, Swansea, Southampton, Everton, Spurs) and the rest are just there to stay in the league and make up the numbers.
We're in the unfortunate group of clubs that aren't likely to go down and not likely to challenge for anything exciting, the zombie clubs. Least the shit sides get the excitement of a relegation battle. Truth be told I wouldn't mind getting relegated again, at least it'd bring some excitement back having something to challenge for and try and win.
