For me it is about winning no matter who the other team are.

Coming away from Goodison last night I got the impression that Sunday's game against Manchester United is all about beating Moyes and his gang instead of the importance of getting back on track. We as Evertonians must be hoping we can still achieve that 4th spot we have worked hard on for so long and forget about getting our own back on an a manager and personnel that chose to move to pastures new.
I am interested to hear what you blues think

The more I think about this I realise too many people were already focusing on the United game and we all may have been getting a bit too cocky about Palace.

Dare I suggest Bobby as well.

Job done

If we lose but take 4th I could not care less. Is we win but miss out on 4th it would be a higher point in the season.

I think most people see 4th as a long shot now. That means this has taken on more significance. If we'd won yesterday that'd be a side show.

I'd like to see us take this down to the wire with Arsenal. That's our best chance IMO

Not a long shot in the slightest mate, Arsenal have a point lead with 4 to play, if that's a long shot at catching then frankly we should give up pre season on the league

They're a point ahead with easier fixtures and a history of qualifying for the CL. They're proven at handling pressure over a long period. We aren't.

Fixture strength this season more than any other is up in the air mate, we beat chelsea and arse, lose to s'land and palace like, similar weird results all around the league this season as well, will say though having 'more difficult' fixtures could be seen as a blessing - we've played a lot better in the supposedly more difficult games all year (pit derby aside), Hull and Norwich away are not easy games like

All the Arsenal handle pressure well stuff is rubbish, they've capitulated in every major pressure game this season like away from home, and routinely handle the pressure of a title race by collapsing mid feb onwards

People are reacting way too much into a Arsenal win over a West Ham already on their summer hols like followed by a freak result for us

Not really. They've games they'd be expected to win comfotably, we haven't. Simple as that reall. I'm not giving it up in my mind and I doubt Bob has either. But it's a long shot now IMO.
