They're not exactly challenging us in the table any longer, but Everton's season continues to bring a smile to my face.

Look at these matches. We have hope draws in all these. Win for either side will create more distance with us.

Yeah, well, we can only expect results to go our way so much. In the end we need to win enough points ourselves.

by Red Alert Tue Jan 20, 2015 9:23 am

^ Yes, but we also need other teams to drop points, we're playing catch up after all. lol

Meh teams will lose points regardless. We just have to focus on ourselves and try to take every point possible. Specially the 6 pointers against these teams challenging us.

West Ham match at Anfield is beyond huge.

Though I would gladly take a loss in that match if it means we make the COC final.

Yes, winning the H2H against WHU, Spurs, Arsenal, ManU and Southampton will go a long way. But things are not in our hands anymore and we can do with a bit of luck.

by Helmer Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:39 am

I prefer losing against Chelsea and winning against West Ham :coffee:

we need top 4 more than COC, may be some other trophy hmm

That f Mourinho must be thinking that he should win against Liverpool and he can afford to draw against Man City. So I guess it aint going to be easy at all at SB.

Holy shit.

Could this round have gone much better for us so far? I know anything can happen, but as long as we go out and do our thing we have a really good chance of giving Stevie an incredible birthday present.

Southampton out as well, but yeah were no sure thing right now against bolton.

by Helmer Sat Jan 24, 2015 6:23 pm

when was the last time when we took advantage of slip ups by our rivals Laughing

by McAgger Sat Jan 24, 2015 6:25 pm

Oh god, I'm sooooo nervous right now. If we don't take advantage of this shit. I will jump off a bridge.

You guys have second leg / replay in both cups right? Shizz.. reminds me of our 10/11 season, when on paper, we were still in four competitions, but our schedule completely smothered us.. Sad
