5th or 6th doesn't make a great deal of difference. I'm still hoping this is just a flash in the pan and they will be back where they belong next season!

We might have before KO.
I just don't get everyone, well I say everyone I mostly mean @ijjysmith, who's like omg we need 3 points from two games, we have to get it vs Manchester City and the most expensive team english football has ever seen because christ knows we don't want to go to hull needing a result.
If we can't beat City who are just one of the best teams in europe than what chance to we have vs midtable can't be arsed hull city who have lost 4 of their last 6 home games and are in their first ever cup final the week after we play them?
It's an impossible task!
City, otoh, we just need to turn up and we'll win 10-0.
I think city will be bang up for this game and whatever happens tonight I think we will do well to stay in the game with city by Half Time.

Ok so not only are you wanting City to beat Everton (the team you support) on Saturday but you are actually going to be singing there songs against us too? sorry but i can't agree with that.

Not exactly what I said thought mate is it?
In fact I've pretty much said that we won't beat City but it won't be for lack of trying to.
As for Hull, well yes we should get a result there not sure where I've said any different, bar a few Jelavic jokes. But why leave it to the last game. We're not exactly a team that handles pressure well are we?
A draw has positives for us insofar as it means we can't finish lower than sixth which guarantees Europe.

Pretty much this anyway.
We won't leave it to the last game cos I don't think spurs and man u will win all their games, tbh. They haven't been good enough to do that all season and I don't think that will change now.
I'm, hopefully, going to Hull and I've said all season I just really want us to have something to play for. Obviously I'd prefer it if arsenal mess up and we're still within a shout for 4th but I'd quite like us to go there and have to win, I think it would make the match more fun and I think our players need to learn to deal with that kind of pressure. I also think Martinez is at his best in those situations, he's excellent at getting players to play in crunch games. This will be his first one at everton, but he did well at wigan in them.
It's just you're responding every time someone says if we can't catch arsenal I don't care if city beat us, with what about 5th and that's still in our own hands even if we lose next saturday. I think that's an important point to make.
I think the point that Ijjy is making is that we need to try against City...even a point might be important for us in the end. We are not guaranteed to beat Hull....we probably all thought we would beat Sunderland at home because they were utter gash at that point, and Palace at home and Saints away as they didn't have too much to play for.
The fact is that Hull are not definitely safe either yet on 37 points and Steve Bruce will want 40 points this season. They go to Villa (who are desperate for points also) and to Man U (who will probably beat them as they want to finish above Spurs and us if they can). That means that Hull may actually need a result against us.
Also, Steve Bruce may well rest players for the cup final but the guys that he puts in might be anxious to impress in the hope that they get a place on the bus to Wembley too.
We can't rely on the Hull game for the three points that we need to secure fifth. We ought to get them, but you never know.
Why?
Does philip green buy stuff at your business, like? Cos the club won't see that money, either way.
