I'm not so sure. Neither Everton fans or players will want to roll over easily. Good players have their pride and fans will always back their own team ahead of dislike for another.Quote:

It was obvious who Leeds fans wanted to win the title but you couldn't have told from the goal celebrations. Man Utd went on to win the title by one point.
Likewise in 1995, in the last game of the season Liverpool with nothing to play for beat Blackburn 2-1 at Anfield. In this case Man Utd were unable to beat West Ham but had they done so they would have won the title.
Paddy Power have Moyesy at 3/1 to be the next Newcastle manager so things could be looking up soon:DQuote:

There's only 3 managers in the whole of the football league who have served more than 4 years.. he's done 4 years..
No need to feel too sorry for Pardew, he is part way through an eight year contract so when he gets sacked he can put his feet up on Caribbean beach for a while, that's once he has finished his Anger Management courseQuote:

I had to chuckle tonight watching the Champions League match.
I listened to Eamonn Holmes on Sky News this morning discussing with a couple of pundits who the next Man U manager would be.
Ancelotti might be available after tonight he intimated.
I'd also heard pundits over the weekend poo-pooing the availibity of Guardiola.
Things may have changed tonight :)
Madrid made Bayern look inept.
After much consideration

I can now see all the top three finishing on 84 points Liverpool to draw at Palace and win their last game, Chelsea to win their last two and City to draw at Everton and win their last two.:cool:
i had a dream last night I could stop liverpool winning the league but it involved killing 3 people in a railway yard with a machete. i can still hear their screams. :mad:

1-1.. Athletico going through as it stands...
Where were the double decker buses after the first goal?
2-1 penalty for Athletico.. correct call for sure.
3-1 game over...
It's Phenomenal what Simeonehe's done there. Phenomenal. Transforming a team of serial losers and hard-luck cases like Atleti into a such a football machine :cool:Quote:

Narr, a pie should have meat in.
Good to see someone with a similar attention span to me, if you could have been arsed to read past the first paragraph you would see that Morecambe's Chicken, Ham and Leek pie won the best Football Pie, that sounds at least two thirds meat:oQuote:

Everton not bothered about helping the red lot from the other side of Stanley park.
2 home games against 2 poor sides means its almost blue ribbons.
ah thought WH would be away, that'd be a tough game but at home you have to fancy them now..Quote:

strange by newcastle, what is it 8th for Pardew and under pressure...
With the Everton supporters on their side City still made hard work of it but they got the result they needed.
Its a results game Alf. Fish & chip papers next week, so only winning matters.
As a Leeds fan, main road was a hard place to visit but Stanley park & anfield was a horrible place to visit Goodison was a lot better clientèle.
Come on City.
I think the old memory is playing tricks Stags, whether you were at Goodison or Anfield the coaches were still parked in the same place, you still had to get across Stanley Park, just with different horrible scousers chasing after you, or sometimes when Leeds or United were in town the horrible scousers banded togetherQuote:

I had good memories of the games at Goodison when they had the D behind the goals and what every the result the experience was good.
Going to crapfield was always a butt tweaking experience, all though we settle the debt at the station or Elland road.
What's all this we business Stags? Makes it sound like you were one of the top boys in the yorkshire republican army:)Quote:
