Who knows?

With the side this season bring more bi-polar than Charlie Sheen it is hard to make any predictions or have any real, solid aspirations. So one game at a time it is, as we go into a really crucial stage of the season with four out of the next five games at home.

Great win up north that though, a few glimpses of the old Everton. Not the one that plays some boss football but is tosh in the final third, but a dogged performance which - lets be honest - we should have been won by a few more. Oh and before we leave the issue of Nucasslle alone, sniff it Nolan you prick.

Attentions turned towards Birmingham now who are trying to out do us in the schizophrenia stakes. Cup Champions last week (which we'd sell our second born for), blown away by West Brom at home this week and the media leaking that the jive talking Hong Kong lid who took them over is applying for some mad overdrafts. Don't rule out some war crimes there either, he has more than a whiff of it about him.

Birmingham slipped into the bottom three on the weekend which should increase their anxiety going into the match. They impressed last season as they gave us three tough games and put us out of the cup, in comparison to our first win this season where they weren't all that at St Andrews.

Johnson and Dann have been the bedrock of the team but the latter, a kopite and all, is ruled out for the rest of the season a la Fellaini. Deputising will be Liam Ridgewell who looks like the pikey love child of Mike Newell and Gareth Southgate. One paced perma target David Bentley is on loan from Spurs and will have to watched as he likes a whack from anywhere around the box and rat faced sh*thouse Bowyer is still playing there. Also on loan is Obafemi Martins, a veritable Stuart Barlow on steds.

We would seem to have another injury worry in Phil Neville who limped off to be replaced by Heitinga, who I wish someone would have a word with about trying to take on the oppositions defence when you're sat on a lead deep into injury time. I can't see Beckford and Saha being changed up front.
It was just lovely to see Arteta have a really good game, lets keep him there. Rodwell really didn't take his chance last game out, which is a worry as his potential is remaining just that at the moment, this is the type of game where he needs to really have a genuine influence on. Especially as we're a bit short in that area now. The defence didn't do too much wrong so you'd expect the status quo to remain although I'd much rather see Coleman slotted in at right back than Hibbert for a game where the onus should be on us to attack.

Anyway, book your therapist for Thursday and prepare to fume, probably.
 
It's the last game until the 19th March, so they need to put it in. Birmingham will have the Cup QF to be thinking about so it might be a good time to play them (although McLeish will be smarting after blowing today's chance to get them clear of the drop zone).

So we all want the mancs to win tomorrow, then the carrot is that we would go above them with a victory.

If United win, then a win mid week takes us to 7th. Which is only 1 point away from Bolton in 6th. Imagine if Arsenal had won the Carling cup... we'd be in with a real chance for Europe.


However, every single time we've had a stat like this before a game -- an "if we win, then..." situation -- we've flopped. So I'm fully expecting an Everton no-show. A 0-0 draw or 0-1 loss.
 
We won today so that means we get beat in our next game, thats the rules isent it
 
Next two home games against Brum and Fulham crucial to final position.....

Two wins - Europa Chase

Anything else Mid table doldrums for the remainder of this season....
