Agree - and osman was stood watching.

Wigan battling - Arsenal nothing to play for. We need 4 points - they need 6. Advantage us.

Fernandes can fuck off - as can anyone who defends him - his reaction to us going 2-1 up today was a disgrace - fuck off to wherever you came from you self-centred twit!

yep £2m - bargain.

Same goes if cardiff win cup? So if that's the case pompy are already in europe - win or lose...

He's not big e.g. diop, viera, (that kind of central midfielder) - I think moyes will be looking to bring more height in this summer - he's hinted at it e.g talking why baines hasn't been in all the time - I think centre mid is a position where moyes can sign someone with a bit of height.

We'll def finish top 7 - but pompy finishing 5th and winning the cup and us finishing 7th could still result in us missing out on europe - depending on the results of the UEFA ruling over Cardiff in europe. Blackburn and Everton wins would make my head hurt less at this time tomorrow!!!

There's no doubt about his class but a big thing we are missing at the mo in midfield is height - this is an area I expect moyes to address in the summer - this would obviously go against manny. art...manny..ossie..pienaar = smallest midfield in the world!!! (apart from the chinesse olympic football team).

This chap knew what I was on about when I started this topic!!! http://www.evertonfc.com/news/being-presum...%20PRESUMPTUOUS

Just to add... Fernandes is no doubt a prospect - Everton Worshiper - noted not as much as a prospect as Rooney (but who is?) and Does fernandes actually want to come to us? - blue 4 ever.

I agree - £4-6m on what he has shown this season. Last summer £8m for manny would have been a snatch - but we known a hell of a lot more about the chap now - and the major sticking point for me is his attitude and most importantly his desire to play for EFC. £8m for what he was 1st spell is fine (wouldn't get much better at that price) but we don't know what he'll be like next season and if his current form/desire is what we're judging him on, then I believe there are better players out there for Everton Football Club.

The BBC report must be on the basis that Cardiff are not allowed in the UEFA Cup, but generally the FA Cup runner-up with go into UEFA if the winners have already qualified for europe. I expect Cardiff to be allowed in if it comes to that, so that would mean we can't have Pompy finishing 5th!!! as it takes up the 2 UEFA cup places (cardiff and pompy). So my initial statement that villa aren't the problem is true in the sense (pressuming us, villa and pompy take up 5th-7th - SURELY!) Villa can finish in 5th, 6th or 7th and we'll at least be in intertoto - but if Pompy finish 5th and us 7th we'll miss out! Of course if Cardiff are refused UEFA cup entry we've got no worries!

If pompy finish 5th and win fa cup then cardiff get uefa cup place.

That first statement is what I've just said in the original post! (you mean us 7th by the way). We wouldn't get europe if pompy finish 5th (regardless if they win f.a.cup. Villa will get intertoto and pompy/cardiff will get uefa places. There is still the debate with FIFA over cardiff not being english but that'll be sorted and cardiff will be allowed in. So my point again - pompy finishing 5th would be a worse case scenario!!!

The worst result we could get against Villa is a draw... As long as Pompy don't finish 5th we'll be playing European football next season. So if we're going to dick about and fizzle out at the business end of the season - let's hope at least Villa stay ahead of Pompy. If pompy finish 5th and Villa 6th - villa get intertoto, we hope for fair play! - if Villa finish 5th and Pompy 6th and us 7th, at least we get intertoto! Obviously I'd love us to beat Villa but if we don't a draw would be a worse result than Villa beating us!!! I'm sure some will disagree but considering run-ins etc.. that's how I see it!!!

U need 2 put da spel cheka on boi! Coz I dunt stand no wordz youz sayin bruv, innit. Saif blud, peas owt!

Whatever team we put out we need a fiorentina type atmosphere, COYB!!!

I can safely dismiss anyones comments who can't spell today.

We look poor in final 3rd.

Teams http://www.evertonfc.com/match/report/0708...verton.html?t=4

Very true indeed... http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0400eve...-name_page.html

Howard Nev...Yobo...Lescott...Baines Ossie...Fernandes...Carsley...Pienaar/Arteta AJ...Yak Subs:Wessels, Jags, Valente, Grav, Anichebe Either art or pienaar will make it I reckon - not both.

1-0 us - late peno - I couldn't say who'll take it - it's been that long since we've been given one!!!

What's Moysie playing at with the Pienaar deal? What was it like managing Big Dunc in your time together at EFC? Are you a future EFC manager in the making?

I believe we'll win 3 more games this season.
