Meanwhile, I've never seen Everton play so well....
[QUOTE 2881275, member: 30090"]No it's not.
And you've included Man U - can't think why.[/quote]
Yes it is.
I've included Man U (they are my cut off point) because they are only 6 points off 4th with 48 to play for, in a 4 team race.
I'd like Everton to get 4th spot, Martinez takes huge risks to play such attractive football.

[QUOTE 2882340, member: 30090"]Check the fixture list, the only difficult (snigger) away game we have left is Man U. And we still have Chelsea, Everton, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham all to play at home and the top teams themselves still have to play each other.
Man U are out the running, face it, my pre-season prediction is coming true.

How are you going to beat that lot at home when Villa should have been 0-4 up after 30 mins?
The title is between 3, with Arsenal the outsiders. Liverpool will have done well to finish best of the rest.

[QUOTE 2884984, member: 30090"]Dunno, perhaps after City we have scored the most goals in the premier league and it was an off day.
How much do you think a flat would go for on (what was) the hallowed ground that just to be the Stratford End? After they have demolished Old Trafford.[/quote]
Must have had a few off days, Liverpool have conceded more goals than Man U........
Good luck to Liverpool, be nice for then to have CL footie again, be nice for Everton or Spurs too, I would not bet on the 4th place finisher.

Do you think with the blocks of flats that they'll build that they'll name them after Man U players along with roads on the estate?
What do you think?[/quote]
I've never given it any thought, maybe they'll buy up surrounding properties to start with, then deliberately introduce a managed decline in the immediate area driving down other owners home values, providing an "opportunty" for the club, like Liverpool FC do/did.
I have little interest in Man U and not a lot more in Liverpool. Have you got me puddled mup?

The staggering thing was 14,000 people turned up for it.
I think 2700 were from City. It was a pointless football match, I am amazed 11000+ hammers fans turned up, West Ham should have refunded the pre-sold tickets and let families in for a tenner, generate some local goodwill. I assume the pre-sold City tickets meant more to them?

You know, I can just about tolerate Big Fat Sam's style of football if we are moderately successful. I can just about tolerate losing much of the time if we're entertaining with it. As we're playing absolutely dire football and are looking like being relegated, what exactly is the point of BFS? He's still living on the success he had at Bolton 15 years ago.
The point has gone. We have a hoofball/percentages manager too (Phil Parkinson), it's only tolerable, just, whilst he get's you results. BFS just doesn't suit West Ham now.
and, just to prove that self-delusion in professional football is a fine art...........

Speaking of which:
"I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid," Allardyce said. "It wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem. It's not where I'm suited to, it's just where I've been for most of the time.
"It's not a problem to take me into the higher reaches of the Champions League or Premier League and [it] would make my job a lot easier in winning it."
