ramirez Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 1 hour ago, Kid Icarus said: I honestly think it's that our fixture is being taken as a given. Forest and Chelsea is definitely the correct choice and I'm guessing they're thinking that it's between them and Villa, whereas us and Man City has less jeopardy. Not that I agree with that assessment, but that's what I'd guess the reasoning is. I agree that’s the logic but it could easily backfire and ensure they end up with the dead game should us and Chelsea be winning easy. Or Villa could have it wrapped up early and it would be a case of turn over and see what’s happening at forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it, like. 5 years ago as a neutral in the CL race, I'd not really want to watch 4th place Spurs at home to an on-the-beach bottom-half Everton over the 5th to 7th placed teams going for it.

I'm talking about us as fans, desperately hoping Isak will be passed fit. Even if he's not we need to know we can win this. It's Everton at home without their two best centre backs.

If we play him and he's not fit but can only play for an hour or is clearly knackered then the only option is lob in Wilson most probably from start and Osula if all is not going well with Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, Wallsendmag said: Just put a little £20 safety bet on us not finishing top 4. Would have gone top 5 but couldn't find a market. Goes with my safety bet(s) on Sunderland getting promoted. If the worst case scenario happens this weekend at least I'm financially compensated for it. 5/2 Everton double chance which is basically the same as us not getting top 5. Either way you win or we get top 5. Got a nice chunk on the mackems pre playoffs at 5/2 which I obviously hope I lose .

SteV Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 41 minutes ago, BeloEmre said: Wonder who will be benched or if Howe would go with Burn at LB and Livra at RB… Zero chance Burn plays LB like. Hasn’t played there all season and in that video that came out recently he was talking about how he’s deliberately put weight on to help his strength at CB, and as a result he thinks he’d probably struggle getting up and down at LB.
