My original point is that we won't catch Man Utd. It's only my opinion, feel free to disagree with it. Even if they lose this game, they have favourable fixtures in comparison to us and will maintain their advantage. I'm looking at West Ham and Liverpool as our rivals.

If we look at La Liga, they had 5 in the CL and 2 in the EL. If we finish 8th, we won't qualify for Europe.

I think Man Utd will finish above us, even at this stage, 5 points is too big a gap for us to overhaul (soon to be 8 points with a win tonight). We are fighting for 6th or 7th with West Ham and Liverpool.

Everton's away form is much better than their home form, weirdly enough, and in a derby match form goes out of the window anyway. I reckon they might pick something up from Anfield.

Man Utd v Palace doesn't affect us, there's no way we will catch them. But Liverpool and West Ham slipping up will do us very nicely.

POL quotes And another interesting quote from POL, if it is true...

Make that 2-0

Got to go for our top goalscorer Pelle

They're an American pharmaceutical company

Don't discount the Ricky Holmes factor. He will be desperate to beat the DFCSBs.

I've heard it's TY

Europe surely over now

Huh? Microsoft is based in Seattle

To be fair, at the start of the season I would have been very happy with a top half finish. At least with 4 games to go we are still fighting for something. We just need West Ham to slip up tomorrow against Leicester

Anything less than a convincing victory will be unacceptable.

This seems a good time to post this quote from Corporate Ho/Banker on POL a couple of days ago

At least we've got Villa next

Tadic takes too long to shoot, cross, whatever. Yes he creates chances but he is a frustrating player.

Once again our finishing ability, or lack of it, is on full display.

Do you remember last season against Everton at home when we played a significantly weakened team due to injuries/suspensions and ended up beating them 3-0...

The more games they play, the busier their fixture schedule will be, which is good news for us in our battle for European football.

From POL That rules out the PFC Ultras then

With Lallana, as far as I am concerned it is all water under the bridge. But Lovren will always be hated by Saints fans. What an utter utter tit.
