Weren't Everton something like 3rd from bottom when Ancelotti took over ?

 

Weren't you like somewhere else when Everton kept scoring

 

Yeah I had a few odd jobs to do

 

WTF was that at the end with the Everton fans fighting over Pickfords gloves ? Apparently he tried to give them to some kid at the front and the Everton fans started fighting each other for them. Twats.

 

We were in the bottom 3 when Silva was sacked. Since Dunc and now Ancelotti took over, we’ve only lost 2 league games, City away 2-1, and today, when we were well worth a point.

 

So @Skylarker is talking **** then.

 

It's going to be a tough game for us at yours next week.

 

There's only 6 points separating 4th to 11th and now that 5th place gets a CL spot, it's going to be a real bun fight for 4th and 5th from now to the end of the season.

 

You’ll likely give us a tougher game than you did there last season - unfortunately.

 

I'm not so sure tbh. We're slow and easily exposed at the back. We've got away with last 2/3 games without conceding (more than 1). You look well organised and from the midfield up you look well organised and a threat. In terms of our attack it's already looking like Fernandes will be carrying the team till the end of the season... not sure it will be enough though.

 

I'm really not taking that 5th spot as CL tbh. All the usual suspects HAVE to be going for 4th imo otherwise they'll lose out on CL.

 

We beat you 4-0 last time mate.

 

I agree that 4th is the spot to aim for for the chasing pack , but 5th will get a CL spot this season though.

 

Yes mate, I know full well the score, I was responding to the idea we'll give you a tougher game. OK it might be 4-1... happy!

 

I don't think it will.



Imagine the fume if United get 5th and City's appeal is successful.

 

Aren't all bets off while City appeal though?

 

I guess. But surely UEFA won't overturn a two season ban ? they might reduce it to one, but they will look like imbeciles if they overturn it.

 

We won't finish 5th. It'll be 4th or 8th.

 

It's not UEFA they're appealing too. It could get overturned completely.
