Matchday 31

[Stan_Darsh72]

It is now squeaky bum time for 2 teams at the top, scared of relegation time for the bottom teams and for players it is time to really up your game to get a spot in their national team squad for the euros (except if your dutch your team is crap)

Everton and Arsenal look to be a good game and we have the Manchester Derby with 2 teams that seemingly dont want to win games.

 

[Tulip]

Glad we're playing second for once. Leicester clearly don't mind matching a challenge, so will they set one?

 

[RossFC]

Everton vs Arsenal 0-1
Crystal Palace vs Leicester 0-2
Chelsea vs West Ham 1-1
West Brom vs Norwich 1-0
Watford vs Stoke 1-1
Swansea vs Aston Villa 1-0
Newcastle vs Sunderland 1-0
Southampton vs Liverpool 0-1
Man City vs Man United 3-1
Spurs vs Bournemouth 3-0

Derby at the Bridge. No matter how shit we are im still excited.

 

[Cooldude]

Palace is absolutely rubbish, Leicester should win if they want the league

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Come on Pardiola. Just one favour please.

 

[moomba]

Derby day and the score was level.

Ah, just end the season already.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Darn it Cooksen, I wanted to do my Sam poll for this matchday. Ah well, spread the love...

I am strongly encouraged by the signs that Rafa showed against us, and I'm feeling good about Newcastle making their contribution for the title race and the Geordie survival. It will be fun to watch.

So this is the last match of March league-wise. Probably a good time to remind everyone that if you don't like late games, good news, DST is coming to an end, which means games will be 2 hours earlier! Which means more time for action and sleep.

Palace, got to treat them with respect. They may not have won in the league, but we all know about these streaks... Get over there and at least keep the gap at 5.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Come on Rafa, please do what no Newcastle has managed for ages, beat the Mackems and send them down. They've been arseing their way out of relegation for too long now. Also, the Hammers will hand us our first league loss under Guus.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Just hope Dier is switched on and doesn't get another card.

That's been the salt in the wound for Geordies, the 6pts they gift them has been keeping them up

 

[jd2010]

Rest Dier for this one or hope we dominate proceedings. I'd be doing the latter of the two because I think Bournemouth will be a very tough one for us

Palace will be focussing on the FA cup from here on in, they're safe enough aren't they? Even if they did have anything to play for in the league they're just not a side to challenge Leicester, or at least the 2016 palace isn't

I'd play him v Dortmund and rest him in the league. Dembele and Alli vice versa.

Negligent if we don't ensure that Dier at least plays at Anfield. Gets a yellow this game and he misses Liverpool and United.

Another big test for Poch and his game management with team selections. At home vs Bournemouth surely a Mason or Bentaleb can come in along side Dembele and be strong enough for us to control the game

 

[FAITH]

whoever loses the Manch derby is cooked

I agree, just not Carroll in holding midfield. He gives me as much confidence in that role as Fazio does in central defence.

[Benno_900]

We haven't one decent away game all season.

Everton 3-0

 

[Magma]

can we just accept the dull bore 0-0 draw that this one will also be.

8 points clear, 9 games to go

 

[DBAH0]

Good time to get Chelsea with Costa missing and them losing a couple of games now.

Hopefully we can take advantage, and I hope Sahko gets a start in this one as well, would assume him and Obiang in for Carroll and Emenike.

Clearly haven't been watching our home league form?

 

[go you pups]

Doesn't really matter, we played after them coming into West Ham and put up a shocker in the wet

Sounds like Hazards finished for the season, though some may say his season never got started anyway

 

[darth_timon]

I'm tipping Everton to beat or at least draw with Arsenal, especially given Arsenal's recent form, and the fact that Arsenal have a trip to Spain in midweek.

Manchester Derby - I don't know about this one. Both sides have been erratic and I can see City scraping it, but it won't be a good game.

I'm worried about our trip to Southampton - if we're at our best we should win, but you can't tell with this Liverpool side.

Chelsea v West Ham... dunno, but if anyone wins it will be the home side.

 

[Cruyff14]

Lukaku is gonna ram his BBC right into the Arsenal defense's arseh*le and go in dry.

We will lose, Goodison is a tough place to go.
