Its going to be tight . I dont think we have had a week when all the teams battling for 4th have all won . We need to take our chances now . Arsenal and chelsea are like yoyos they play well but then they could also loose . If tottenhams run is over then we could catch them . They also have europe to focus on and its taking there toll on their squad . Moyes best bit off advice to the players should just play like we did agaisnt city and treat every game as a cup final . Chelsea 3rd tottenham 4th everton 5th arsenal 6th most realistic

Didnt get past the first 5 words. Just drifted off into a memory long gone.
 
From what I remember Gibson was one of the very few who played alright against Liverpool at Wembley. He was the only one trying to keep the ball rather than hoof it.
 

We have a couple of suspensions to contend with so we need to factor in some sort of impact that this will have. Time for Barkley to step up if he gets the chance.
 
Its men and boys stuff now, it will be about who wants it more, games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs possibly Norway are six pointers.

All to play for but we're up there being competitive for it.

Spot on mate. It's actually better facing the teams around you than not. You can knock them for 6! If Moyes is really as good as he thinks along with the likes of Fellaini, Baines, Mirallas, Jagielka, Heitinga. All players who probably think they are Champions League quality they need to show it. No good blaming other players etc.
 
Stoke will be a good test for us. Big players missing so will our team go missing against a very well organized and physical team.

I'm quite glad Fellaini is missing for Stoke as it might force us to play football rather than route one "up to the big men".

Spurs is the big game for me, beat Stoke and then beat Spurs and it's on for fourth IMO (y)

Exactly mate, its all to play for, to be honest the form and reputation book goes out the window from here on in, looking at our fixtures the only team who we have who are fighting for their lives are QPR and we have them at home. The likes of Stoke WHU, Fulham and maybe Sunderland should be middish table. Norway, Arsenal Spurs and Chelsea are the real tests of bottle - like i say they are six pointers.

I think 60 points give or take should be enough for Europe, we have a game in hand on Spurs and Norway as well.

I think a lot of people are missing the MAIN point here. We are in a fantastic position. We play the 4 teams around us. They are 6 pointers and cup finals.

Id rather have the chance to gain 3 points and remove 3 points from your rivals than have to wait and see is others will do it for you. If we're good enough for the champions league we should beat these teams anyway. You have to earn that 4th spot it doesn't come on merit.
