Yeah, I agree. He'll be under a lot more pressure next season, so we'll see what he's actually made of. If he only keeps the bitters where they currently are, he could find the phone stops ringing pretty soon.

Yeah, DCL's fitness will be crucial, that's if they manage to keep him. Wasn't he rumoured with Arsenal?!

Decent players don't always make decent managers. Roy Keane and Gary Neville spring to mind. Great footballing talent, never cut it as managers. I fear Frank is headed down the same path. My mind has gone blank, but im sure there are many other great players who have failed in management.

I'd say actually that most great players don't end up being very good managers and they also often don't make very good pundits

There seems to be a lot of goodwill towards Lampard at Everton even though I don't think he's done a particularly good job, if they'd got relegated that would have been on him because there's a lot more talent in that squad than the teams below them imo. Next season will be an interesting test for him

What have said all season? We're a completely different team with Calvert-Lewin in. Our low finish was down to not replacing him while he's been missing for almost all of the season. He comes back in and we can score goals again.

Leeds or Burnley?


tough one


i'd say on paper Leeds could have an easier opponent than Burnley but the ball is round is how the saying goes



Tottenham and Arsenal for the deciding last spot for CL

hmmmm

Spurs up against Norwich, ok easy one i guess although maybe Norwich want to finish the season at least in style and if they can stir some **** up top well they should take that chance by all means

Arsenal vs Everton: Everton have just saved themselves so less pressure on them to do well now, but anyway for Arsenal european football is confirmed but i think the extra cash from CL compared to EL could be a nice motivation in the last game of the season


Manchester United and West Ham for either EL or ECL tickets

Palace and Man United ok, doable for them

West Ham and Brighton, also pretty doable

Spurs are 14/1 NOT to finish in the Top 4, im half tempted to put a tenner on it. If any team could choke 4th (considering the excellent position they're in, vs worst team in the PL) it's Spurs!

Leeds and Burnley have threatened legal action because Everton have broken FFP and got away with it

They can mind their own business. It's our money and we can do as we like with it.

I think there needs to be a system in place where the ownership has to relinquish the club in situations like this.

After all why should the Everton fans, players, Manager, Coaches & regular workers at the club suffer just because the ownership doesn't understand how to run a business?

Not had a bet in a while, last day of the season so i've done a tenner on a Norwich/Arsenal win double. Works out better odds like that and it's the only way Spurs can choke 4th, a loss and a Arsenal win. £10 pays £165.

Crazy that Villa have lost their last 8 games against City ? They have lost all the games against top 5 team this season and they have lost in their last 11 visits to the Etihad
