Toffees (A) - Top 4 Trophy, Six Pointer Match Thread

[gp543]

Never mind their fullbacks, their forward link-up play is excellent. Their center forward faces goal and runs past defenders. Imagine that.

[nut flush gooner]

Have to say after seeing everton today, we will have to play like we did in the second half yesterday or we will get battered.

[T.S]

Just noticed how close Everton are to us. I think this could be the year we come unstuck in the race for the 4th place trophy.

[Midz]

If we don't win this one we're in trouble for 4th.

[gp543]

If we don't win this one we're in trouble for 4th.

If we lose, we'll be 5th by the time we kickoff at wembley

[falkirk goon]

Im going down to this so hopefully it wont be the tepid shite of recent weeks/months.I wont hold my breath though

Down? - not up?

Hope you're not driving (or navigating)

Isnt falkirk in scotland and everton is south of scotland,hence hes going down to liverpool

Yes, well spotted.

You passed the test

it speaks volumes about how utterly shite we are at the moment, that the first few quotes are taken up by a geography lesson and heehaw to do with the match thats what a 7m a yr mismanger gets you

[swimmer1]

We will beat Everton March will then be over

[markyp]

we will collapse as per in a big game,when the pressure is on we fuck up.everton have everything we used to have,pace and power,they play keep ball too.we hardly saw the ball at the emirates back in December,i cant see it being any different this time around,id take a draw right now,we could miss out on CL football,then again who gives a toss,we will never win it while Le Bumhole is in charge,a year out might be the short sharp shock everybody needs to realise things must change,although having said that weve dropped from 1st and second every year to 3rd and 4th instead,could this actually be the start of the 5th 6th and 7th placed finished year in year out,other teams have improved weve stood still for 9 years,this could be the reality

Agree next week's match is a serious six-pointer, but a bit of comfort in the fixtures that are left afterwards...ours are all eminently winnable whereas Everton have got Man U, Man C and (away to) Southampton. Can't see them taking maximum points for sure. Everton are no Man City and we have got to have a bit of confidence back after yesterday. Need to keep Rosicky in cotton wool during the week.

IF this is the year that we are to drop of out of the top 4, then Everton replacing us is a far better option that the tiny totts as predicted ad infinitum by the "experts".

How can Everton in their small, compact ground, with little revenue from commercial deals and no champions league money and small tv income possibly dare to overcome the magnificent Arsene ?

Or is it that a committed team, who work hard, are coached well, have a gameplan and play decent football under a young manager, with fresh idea's is a better plan than carrying on the same stale shit year in year out in the desperate hope that lady luck will shine down ?

Calm down lads - There's Only One never fails to finish in the top 4. Its all a cunning plan so you can celebrate wildly at Carrow Road when we scrape home by a point

but its the change,we couldn't possibly cope with a different manager,

[SteveO 35]

Even if we lose this one (which we may well do), we then have a five game wankathon where we will show great mental strength to go undefeated against the might of West Ham, Hull, Newcastle (the team already on holiday), West Brom and Norwich

Wenger will be delighted with the way the team showed remarkable consistency and character to finish 4th ("at the start of the season nobody gave us a chance to finish 4th") persuading him to sign a new contract and reward all of the current squad with new long term deals. The wretched old World Cup will then make it impossible for us to sign anyone of note despite working night and day scouting every single player in the world

I thought Fulham were the better side today

Everton were clinical I'll give them that but they were against bottom of the league.

Having said that I'd take a draw against them

No Champions League might mean losing Sanogo though,he only came to dine at Europe's top table
