It may be a good idea to see how the table looks: I can't see anyone getting into the top four but 2nd, 3rd and 4th could alter.

Chelsea is getting in the habit of wasting leads.......... But I am pleased that Ancellotti is doing good at the Toffees.. Sadly, like every other manager that has been there, he doesn't really get to spend too much money on new signings... Or choose who he wants...
Second and third could change but forth (Chelsea) it's theirs. For the rest of the league thanks for making the numbers up lol
At Everton or Chelsea? I think the toffees will respect Ancelotti's experience (alongside Marcel Brands) and try to get him who he wants.
13 games to go and the biggest surprise for me is Sheffield United in the top six and Arsenal down in 10th.

Whoever you support, there is no question that the battle for the 4th spot is going to be a close call.
I think also those still in the FA cup or Europe and mid table might juggle their priorities. There are some potential banana skins and i shall have a wager on Rooney scoring and putting one over United!
Yes, I dare to dream after so many years that something is starting to happen since Carlo arrived. I think Evertonians like him a lot:
Someone like him At home we would call "Uomo con le palle quadrate"........... It looses a lot in the translation, as it is an Italian way to respect the man for his sporting and fairness spirit, prowess and well earned success. Meaning " man with square balls" Or here could be roughly translated into the "dog's bollocks",
There is more of a chance for a cabbage to jump up and bite you in the bum, than spurs getting above Chelsea.
I had a £1 bet at work with a Wolves supporter that Everton will finish higher than them. This is getting serious
My heart believes it's possible, but my head tells me it's unlikely. Spurs next match is Aston Villa, which we Should win, whilst Chelsea face Man Utd. That could be tricky and there's a good chance Spurs will move closer.
