Thought I'd make triple match thread for the three games taking our interest today; Chelsea vs Everton, Newcastle vs Arsenal and Spurs vs Sunderland.

Obviously we all hope for a Chelsea win but I'm a bit skeptical today and can't see us winning, Moyes will have them pumped for his last game and I have a feeling our lads will be playing with a Europa Final hangover. Plus we are without JT, Hazard and Ramires. My predicted line up is; Cech, Azpi, Ivan, Cahill, Cole, Luiz, Lampard, Moses, Mata, Oscar, Ba.

This playoff business is a little dodgy. We beat Arsenal twice and imo that's what it should come down to. Not to mention it being at Villa Park, 100 odd miles away from both teams. Hopefully Newcastle can take points off the goons, I've said for a while I'd actually prefer Spurs to get it, although I'm not too fussed! Sadly, I predict an Arsenal win which leaves us 4th and Spurs 5th regardless. A slight saving grace is that Arteta is out.

I can't see anything but a Spurs win at home to Sunderland, although their bottling prowess could get the better of them ;)

Let battle commence <ok>
 
The head to head should count, but Chelsea are a bunch of ****s so that goes against you and kind of levels things up <whistle>

In all seriousness though, I'm ****ing bricking it at the moment. If the Spuds finish above us, you'll never hear the end of it, especially from their village idiot. One season in 17 of the spuds pipping us to the post will result in an outpouring of bullshit about power shifts etc. So for the sake of sanity, we need to beat the Toon today <ok>

<laugh> Only situation that should include a playoff is when EVERYTHING is equal. My main gripe is that it's at Villa Park, just can't see the sense there.

Power Shift <laugh>. HIAG won't be on here 'til pre-season if you secure 3rd/4th.
 
Would it definitely be at Villa Park, then? I can't see the FA passing up any reason possible to use Wembley for absolutely anything, so that's a little surprising if it's confirmed.
Would the TV rights already go to Sky, I wonder? Worth a few quid.
 
Its a shame we haven't got Hazard today! I would have chosen Torres over Ba after Nando's performance in Amsterdam! Whatever--we MUST win!!! COYB!
 
agree blue, but Torres' goal return in the league has been very poor.
 
Good idea Drogs

I've just looked up the site where I usually watch games and its only showing one and that's with Portuguese commentators. So a strange game for me today. Mind you that might be preferable when you consider some of the ****es you can get sometimes on our games

It would have to.

Would really put me out though. That whole 2 minute walk to Villa Park <cheers>

try eplsite, they usually have some ok streaming.

Drogs why always so pessimistic? <laugh> We will win comfortably <ok>

we always falter against Everton, they're usually a thorn in our side and like I said Moyes will have them pumped. I would really love to eat my words though :D

I have to agree with this, Ba is not performing as he should either and Torres is on a high at the moment perhaps with something to prove re the League today, a final chance this game

Nah, beat them at Goodison. Moyes will be focused on United and the players on their holidays. We will be fine mate <ok>
 
My son got this deal pays a few quid a month and it is always perfect picture, no loss of sound or picture ever usually, but I think because of there being so many games at the same time (bloody stupid idea if you ask me) it has gone a bit to the wall.
I just had a look at that one you said and looks good so may give that a go. Ta, if it runs smoothly. Nothing worse then when the picture freezes on a link, or jogs along at a snails pace, then comes back on and you've missed a goal. sooooo bloody infuriating.
