Everton v City pre-match thread

[Bluerig]

Watching in Champs in Urmston as watching AJ fight at a mates after
Anyone been ? Is it ok ? Heard Urmston is a tad raggy

Decent big screen and plenty of tv's ,true urmston is raggy but they'll be plenty of blues in there .

After this game there are 21 points remaining from 7 games. After the derby there will be 18 point remaining from 6 games. We need to win to make the title probable on derby day but here is the truth table showing the possibilities post game:
- Utd result (v Swansea)
- City result (v Everton)
- Pts difference at start of derby
- Derby result required to take the title

W W 16 W (19 points ahead)
W D 14 N/A
W L 13 N/A
D W 18 W (21 points ahead)
D D 16 W (19 points ahead)
D L 15 N/A (would be realistically there with a win as 18 points ahead with major GD advantage)
L W 19 D (20 points ahead)
L D 17 W (20 points ahead)
L L 16 W (19 points ahead)

No pissing around with the team! Get this game won and then focus on the champions league game but let’s get the title wrapped up against the rags

Heavens, I’ve done so much thinking about the next few games it will be a relief to get on with it.

I’d be happy with draws for each of the next 3 games followed by an emotional night at the Etihad as we get through to the semis of the CL. With no injuries,

But of course I want us to win all 4 !

Win, draw, win, win is feasible and more than achievable, can't wait, the anticipation is killing the Blues fans .

Not sure if already mentioned, but there is a Blue Moon on the 31st of this month (http://earthsky.org/?p=273806).

If the Swans do us a favour...........
