You're one of my favourite posters on here. Why I keep coming back. You're the king of the sound posters on GOT in my book, Bungle.

You can always get a room with Bungle. But as he advertises, you'd better bring the lube.

The way the likes of Allardyce, Pulis, Moyes, Hughes, Pardew, Curbishley, Hodgson etc have done well at getting teams out of the relegation fight but reached a glass ceiling at about 7th surely shows that it's harder to improve at the top end than the bottom end.

If nothing else, out performing Wenger, Martinez and Mourinho should be harder than outperforming Chris Hughton and Ole Solksjaer.

It depends on your starting point. I wouldn't expect Stoke to compete for the title, but it's a two tiered league, so for Crystal Palace to be ahead of the clubs they are after 37 games is remarkable, especially when you look at how promoted clubs generally do. Reading and Cardiff won the title the last two seasons and both have went down with a whimper, for example.

Liverpools' starting point was a disappointing 7th, when their net spend is 4th. They underachieved last year and added massively to the squad. They should be expected to finish 4th every year bare minimum, so to improve two places isn't that big a deal - it just means instead of failing dramatically, they're overachieving slightly.

If Man City draw today what are the fun scenarios for Sunday?

Last minute og by Andy Carroll to give City the win?
3 goal comeback by Newcastle to get a draw?

Come on - the fun can't be over yet can it?

Better than a draw...
City lose tonight, Liverpool are 2-0 up... concede 3 in the last 10 minutes again, and they have to wait on City's result.. but it doesn't matter.. City's game is finished and they have lost, Liverpool have 1 more point than them..
The whistle goes and the crowd go mental...
Queue mass hysteria all around Liverpool, the bus fires up, everyone runs out their house celebrating within seconds of the game ending...

Then like so many fans around the country, they suddenly remember Chelsea are still in the fight..
Chelsea who after a lengthy injury and with a minute left are still 0-0.. Suddenly it happens.... Goal!!!!!! Chelsea win the league with a last kick of the season.. 1-0, a Title winning goal by one Fernando Torres.

That would be my preference :)

That would be immense. Absolutely immense. But please, think about the nerves of your fellow Evertonians. That scenario would absolutely shred a lot of us.

Eh, each to their own. I've never held much stock in manager of the year, tbh. It's a back patting exercise for teams like palace who have done well without ever actually coming anywhere near being a threat to the big teams. A little patronzing well done to the likes of Moyes and Kinnear but Mourinho for instrance has never won it.

If I was a neutral I'd vote for Rodgers, if I'm honest. Pulis has done superbly, though. The two clear outstanding choices.
 
Rodgers has done a great job over there nqat

He's top of the league with one game to be played, If someone suggested that 12 months ago you would have laughed at them

Why does he deserve manager of the season though? If they win the league next week obviously it's a no brainer but if they don't what has he done that is better than Wenger has achieved at Arsenal this season

Rodgers could finish in a CL spot and that's it, Wenger could finish in a CL spot and win the F.A cup all done whilst playing 16 more games than Liverpool

Now before you bring the money up Rodgers has spent more than Wenger in the last two seasons and I am quite sure Liverpool have spent more than Arsenal in the last 5 years
