The race for 3RD?

[Simon Smith]

So we are sitting in 4TH and with Man City getting turned over by Liverpool this afternoon I wonder if the chase for 3RD could be on.
I know everyone is looking over their shoulders at Arsenal but should we be looking to overtake Man City?
Yes they have a game in hand but apart from us they could all be teams fighting at the bottom of the league.
Having seen them chuck points away today who says that it could be the last time before the season comes to an end.
The chase for 3RD is on!!!

City have four home games and two away games left. All home games against bottom clubs and us and palace away. The only game i can see them losing is us. You don't become a bad team after one defeat.

I'm thinking at least second potato lid

Mathematically we can still win the league.......

Let's just focus on 4th for now.

True - and until we can't that's got to be the target - no matter how implausible it seems

Not for me. It's easier to chase than to lead. I'd rather keep looking upwards, instead of worrying about staving off Arsenal.

I can't handle this incessant positivity, after over 10 years of plucky little Everton rolling over on all the big occasions, I think I'll explode if I buy into us finishing above City.

Correct, otherwise there'd be no point, would there?

Ambition and all that. Think "Europe" and it's a possibility, so why not think "league", regardless of how improbable it is?

 

[allen]

Win all our games. That's the aim.

love the positivity around here, but we should be nowhere near city when you see the respective resources and squads. would be a bit embarassing for them seeing as one of our best players can't get in their team.

i'll just bite anyone's hand off for 4th atm.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

we have NO chance of 3rd spot......4th will do me just fine.....4th would be an unbelievable achievement, as good an underdog story as you could see, shame the media have no interest in acknowledging it....

I think in the race for 3rd we may finish 4th!

Edit:

And be bloody happy with it.

City will put at least six past our shower. So that will help them get some confidence back
