At the end of the day the FA cup final on Saturday has a meaningless outcome so both sides will be saving themselves for the league game. You could say that Chelsea will have half an eye on the CL final but this'll be Leicester’s CL final. Massive game. I think we have to pray for a Leicester win and hope we can overhaul the Chavs.

I'm predicting a FA cup win for Leicester and a league defeat on Tuesday


Got that spot on mate.

Just had a feeling Leicester would be up for the final and hungover for the league game.  :D 

But I can't believe we are back in the top 4 for the first time in 3 or 4 months. Fingers crossed, we and Leicester nab the top 4 spots

We could also potentially finish 3rd, what a wacky season it has been.

Villa will want to cap off their season with a win in front of their fans so 3rd could happen for us as a draw is a big possibility.

Had our GD been +1/2 I would've been worried because ai think Spurs are going to fold against Leicester, +4 is a nice cushion.

If they win, they won't gain a place, if they lose they won't lose a place, its a question of whether they want to, pure and simple.

It's like groundhog day for everton - i find it amusing how after the money spent they still find themselves smack bang mid-table. Their fans actually thought they were on course for the title at on point :)

Anyway for us that's 26 pts in our last 10 games... amazing effort to salvage our season

Now don’t be having a go at our unfortunate neighbours - champions elect back in October   :laugh:  They’ve won just one cup in 34 years and deserve our sympathy !! On a serious note we’ve had a sh1t year but they have had a really, really SH1T year. Wonder where Anceloti will be next season?

Everton do seem to be going backwards, when Moshiri bought them in 2016 Everton fans just assumed they were going to mirror City’s and Chelsea’s rise to prominence but their finishes have been (in chronological order) - 7th, 8th, 8th, 12th and now 10th. In that time they have brought in a ton of players and have gone through a good few managers as well (Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva, Carlo Ancelotti plus Duncan Ferguson and David Unsworth have stepped up to the plate a couple of times too). Gone a bit quiet on the new stadium as well.

Speaking of our neighbours...I'm confused about the gloating at Manure. We have had a very poor season, while they are saying they have "turned the corner" yet are just 5 points ahead...

United are still a sham which is why their fans are trying to instigate revolution and as for the Bitters.... 7th, 8th, 8th, 12th and now 10th speaks volumes.

LFC need to learn from this season, get rid of the deadwood and bring a couple of game changers in.

Well done Reds. Take the rest, recruit wisely, get Virgil back and next season looks like another challenge for the title. City won this year with 86 points - if we didn't lose Virgil and turned some home games into wins we'd of had our 2nd title. Next season will be more like a title challenge.

I'll be the first to admit. 10 games ago I thought we had no chance of making top 4.
Credit to the two at the back in particular - they're definitely not the most talented pair we've ever had at centre half but they were effective. And I was delighted that Nat got that goal last week, it'll do wonders for him.
Up front, we're still very wasteful, Mané has had a shocker of a season and despite scoring 22 goals, I think Salah could have either scored more or been less selfish and passed to someone in a better position, ironically Mané mostly.
I was surprised as well to see Fab being so ponderous at times and having the ball easily taken off him, made me more than a bit nervous a few times.

And to cap it all, I got a job offer yesterday. Things are looking up again.
