Today's football.

I haven't given up on 4th mate yet, Arsenal are on a precipice of falling apart, they really needed a result against stoke today to stop it spiraling out of control

we're not going to make up 11 points in 10 games on them

By the way, why is your avatar a picture of Kenwright?

He's the Everton chairman mate

All this stuff from the Kopites about not having Europe and 'having a real chance' this season because others are involved in it. Well, they've not had it all season while the big boys have had it but they're still 4 points behind Chelsea (and City after they play their games in hand), and are level with Arsenal. And City and Arsenal will be out of Europe after their next matches anyway and will get the bounce off that.

I'm just gutted they have a CL spot nailed on now. Pissing me off no end.

If United get a decent performance in next week it'll put to bed all this Liverpool title nonsense.

Lol, 'United! United!'

were 11 behind but have a game in hand vs palace at our gaff so really should be 8 with ten to play, weve got them coming to our place in 4 games time, should be favoured to win that mate, we do then it becomes a 5 point gap, they have spurs and chelsea away whilst we have swansea and cardiff at home in the next two... its a long shot but its not impossible

Whose dreaming, i've said i havent given up hope on it, not said i think its likely have i?

I tend to think so too, just wondering if they do collapse over that 4 game period (maybe 6 game period would be better including the cup game vs us and the bayern game) then i honestly think they wont be able to recover from it, especially if by the time that run is over their behind us or spurs

It's a shame we lost our momentum. Still, I think we will see off the next three opponents and let's see where that 9 points puts us at the end of the month.

Thiago's face when the linesman done a few keepy-ups was brilliant.

Why would we be favs to beat Arsenal mate?

 

[bluestevon]

So Liverpool now have a fortnight off before playing next?

I'm not sure that's a great help to a team in their current form. Too much time to think about things.

Before they get to play again Chelsea play twice and could be 10 points ahead before Liverpool

Thats the only way to go about it mate, momentum is a funny thing as we all have seen in the past, and also why i think the cup game is absolutely massive for both us and arsenals seasons

yeah i know, all for optimism, but they have been very good nearly all season (being at the top of it for the majority) - suppose they've dipped in confidence, but we've let a big point lead over spurs slip, making 11 up on arsenal won't happen imo.

Cos were Everton ffs

 

[bluestevon]

Why would we be favs to beat Arsenal mate?

Because we are at home vs a team like ourselves whose form has been shakey recently

Haha. That's ace.

I agree its highly unlikely mate, and i have the horrible feeling that although arsenal will collapse spurs will get fourth anyways, as the natural pessimistic evertonian in me just has the feeling we will drop points against teams we should hammer
