Premier League — Matchweek 37

Onana playing?

Now if Chelsea takes care of business, we can stand over Man Utd!!!

I'd like it to be before, more snide, and then he can feck off to some shite league like MLS and join the Miami Pensioners or the Nemzeti Bajnokság I or the Parva Liga.

I despise Cucu but for the moment he's my hero.

See how they get on with psr breaches...

So it's down to us, Wolves and West Ham in the "fight" for 13th.

The race for Champions League is tight and difficult to call.

Arsenal on 68, and may not finish second. Newcastle, City and Villa close by on 66, with City lurking on 65.

I think Forest are out of it now on 62, but they've surpassed expectations this season and will be playing European football next season.

FA Cup Final today, that could still see City finish the season with a trophy and Champions League qualification, despite falling short of their own recent standards this time out.

I think I'll go for Spurs "Big club my arse" purely because I've got a mate who claims to be Man Utd's best supporter, even though he's hardly stepped foot inside Old Trafford.

And also he used to be a Wolves supporter until he jumped ship and became a glory hunter. Also, I would like to see Richarlison win something.

Needed is - they win last match by 3 goals and we lose our last two by 2 goals to cancel out the 7-goal advantage we have on goal difference.

They shouldn't be able to catch us.

Rob - I agree about Richarlison and also I reckon not in Europe will hurt Man Utd more than Spurs.

Why should they be rewarded with a Champion's League place? Win the Europa League, but that is reward enough.

I don't understand the format any more, but it was a bit like when teams knocked out of the Champion's League got put into the later stages of the Europa League. Reward for failure.

Then again, you're talking to someone who disagrees with the entire concept of the Champion's League. The name is false as most of the teams participating aren't champions of their respective nations.

You know, the Evertonian's DNA.

Hardly makes a difference!

Second red card 6 minutes later, yes, goes in with his studs showing but doesn't really catch Gonsalez that badly, who is up and at 'em a minute or so later.

I think both were yellow card offenses in my mind.

Then it's back to this mind-numbing "me-to-you" keep-ball garbage. This isn't football. At that point, I turned it off.

MK, are you going to explain why you deleted four posts so far on the online abuse of. DCL's wife? Or are you divine right unaccountable? You supported a thread on Doucoure's online abuse. What's the difference?

Here’s to looking up in future.

Colin, it will depend on a sequence of results as it's that tight to call. One point between between 4th and 7th.

Should we beat Newcastle, they finish on 66.

Forest and Chelsea play each other, If Chelsea win, they finish on 69, Forest on 65. If they draw, Chelsea finish on 67, Forest on 66, but Newcastle have the better goal difference.

Villa are away to United, so anything could happen there. If they win, 69. Draw and it's 67.

It's all to close to call. After that brain hurting analysis, I would say that even if we beat Newcastle, they have probably done enough.

Even as a professed 'Dyche hater' I couldn't see our owners making a change. There was a mini league there that we were bottom of and, even with a change, I couldn't see the financial return for a managerial change.

My justification for a change was that Everton were losing their connection with fans and were about to see off the Old Lady with a negative whimper.

Obviously Dyche then practically made their decision for them by declaring he was done.

Moyes has come in and won that mini league and justified the change in both financial and performance terms. And of course the last few months had some good moments, comfortable safety, a reconnection with the fans, and a more fitting send off than we might have otherwise anticipated.
