Look guys, I hate to say it - we blew it with the Palace and Soton defeats. End of. I had in fact resigned myself to Europa football after the Chelsea defeat in February.
Call me pessimistic, neg me all you like, I challenge anyone to say nobody else thought that.
I for one will welcome the now guaranteed return of European football to Goodison, it's been a dreadful four years out of it frankly.
I know what I'd rather have, a trip to far flung shores with amazing skirt, as opposed to our reserves bowing out on penalties at a rain soaked Mansfield or Colchester!
Fifth is basically ours and worst case we can bring through some fringe names and improve our European coefficient.
Arsenal will NOT slip up against WBA and Norwich. They just won't.
I'm sorry, but I REALLY can't stomach the idea of the RS lifting the Premier League trophy, the massive banner in the Goodison derby (in October 2014) saying "All of those in blue and white... THIS is what Stevie G with the title looks like!"
JUST THINK ON GUYS, THINK ON!
Everton, just flecking lose OK!
