    Leave it up to my fellow Texas Tech peeps to come up with a tailgating company that takes cargo containers and turns them into any themed tailgating box a fan could want!
    Take a look at their first bad boy prototype for sports tailgating!

    At that height, just drag his intoxicated ass away from your BoxGate and to someone else's tailgate crew so when he come to, all is well.

    Is this where we can talk about Barca's transfer ban and (not) feel bad for them?

    Poor Jozy Altidore. He has not made the senior squad today against TOT. He instead will play with the U-21's. His stock has fallen a long ways.

    If the World Cup started today, he'd be lucky to be on the bench. I don't think he starts.

    It would be amazing if both Merseyside clubs were in the UEFA Champions League.

    It would be more amazing if Liverpool win the league too.

    We've got City at home. We need to beat City (which we most certainly can do based on our recent record against them) but in the process that would really help our our archrivals.

    Interesting last few weeks in the Premier League.

    I'll still be satisfied with a top four spot, but people are dreaming big this season.

    My prediction is:

    City
    Liverpool
    Chelsea
    Everton
    Arsenal

    City sill has to go to Anfield, that appears to be the fixture that decides the point race.
    I LOVE 6 pointers!

    Haha...and guess who's reffing that match !!

    Liverpool guaranteed to get at least one penalty. I'm going for two.

    Well I agree with your top three.

    Arsenal, despite their current form have a MUCH easier run in than we do. They have five matches left:

    West Ham (H)
    Hull (A)
    Newcastle (H)
    West Brom (H)
    Norwich (A)

    I think they win all five of those matches and rack up 15 points in the process finishing with 79 points.

    Everton has the following remaining:

    Sunderland (A)
    Crystal Palace (H)
    Manchester United (H)
    Southampton (A)
    Manchester City (H)
    Hull (A)

    Of those matches, I'm honestly not worried about United or City at home. I think we'll turn them both over (look at our recent record against City...solid).

    What I'm worried about is Southampton and Hull. Those have banana peel written all over them.

    So if we win say four and draw one and lose one, 76 points.

    In short, we need to win every match. This is Everton. In my years of following them, I've never seen them win every match when they needed to. They'll slip up somewhere, have a penalty against them, have a man sent off, something that will hurt. We're going to need Arsenal to slip up somewhere as well and I just don't see where they're going to do that.

    Arsenal usually start coming out of their funk this time of the year and finish strong, so you may be right. I feel that things have started to change with the gunners though. They have been very poor. I think that the baggies will stun them at Emirates. Everton's toughest match is Southampton, but Jay Rodriguez is out after tearing his ACL, and that will help you. I see Everton finishing strong this season.

    I guess I've been supporting Everton too long to be that much of an optimist.

    You know what will happen right?

    We'll win every match and lose to Hull on the final day. That's about par for the course where we're concerned.

    The season title is going to be really close this season. I would've said Chelsea were to be the favorites if they didn't drop points to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. But seeing it now, I'd prefer Liverpool to win it than Man Shitty.

    There are a lot of Everton supporters that would rather give up a UCL spot than crown Liverpool champions by beating City. I'm not judging them, but it is a conundrum for Everton fanatics. I think Roberto Martinez, and Brendon Rodgers are very good managers, and I expect Martinez to get his tactics right against City. They only need to shut down Silva, and they have a really good chance at winning.

    Where I grew up, you play the team in front of you and look to beat them like they owe you money.
    What happens elsewhere is on them teams playing against each other, not on me and my buddies.
    Everton should go out guns blazing!

    Watching Everton smash Arsenal was brilliant fun..wish I had made it up to the Richmond Arms to watch that one.. Arsenal is going to win all of their remaining home games.. it is what they do against inferior talent... Everton need them to draw or lose at least one of those away games...

    The game against City at Goodison..... could be huge... but if City loses this weekend to Liverpool.. it might not mean as much to them at that point..
