Its first half of the season is almost coming to an end and Everton are lying second in the English Premiership.

Do you think Everton can keep this up to the end of the of the season and make either 1st 2nd 3rd 4th for Champions League Football?

I actually think they could

I don't think so. No matter what, they have had a good season by their standards, but they wont keep it up with the threadbare squad they possess.

I predict they'll finish about 6th - 8th.

Everton will drop from 4th or 5th to around 7th in the final week of the season, mark my words.

ahh too late....i seriously think we can keep it up, cud be wishful thinking, but the lads are going into each game (not thinking) but knowing that we can take maximun points !!

if we are in a champions league spot come christmas (we are basically there) i expect our target will be to try and stay there.

In all seriousness Dom, if you have a winning mentality, no matter what level of football, you've got an advantage before the whistle has even been blown to start the game. Everton have got that never say die attitude not seen there since Joe Royle's Dogs of War in the 1994/95 season.

When playing Sunday league football, me and the lads still talk about it now when we've had a few bevvies about how good we were ten years ago when we were kids. We went into every game thinking we could have anyone!!! And more often than not, we did!!! Teams were scared of us. The one team we never beat through the years of Under 11's to Under 15's were Transpares, who then left the league to become Jubilee. Leon will know these teams, his kid was in goal for them.

The had Michael Ball on the left midfield for them, Stephen Wright in cental midfield, AND I'M SURE Jamie Carragher was playing over aged!!!!! They had some good players from the district in that side. They had a lad called Matthew Cass playing for them who signed professional terms with Liverpool. As a kid, he was a great, tough player, but Houllier came in and ended all of the kids' professional contracts to sign young continental players.

Anyway, I seriously can't see Everton staying up there. You've had a good season, but it's still only December. Your squad isn't big enough to even cope with resting players, never mind injuries. The mentality will only get you so far.

Enjoy it while you're up there.

A whole host of that team went on to play at a decent level.

As well as our kids best buddy at the time, Wrighty who he went to the Academy at Liverpool with until the cull, Cass was great, he is a Stoke right now, Bally is still rotting at Rangers and a fair few of them play amateur and non league part time footy.

I remember a time when Michael Ball was at Everton he was so good that John Toshak attempted to sign him for Real Madrid.

Did you play with Michael Ball, Leon?

i see what your saying and u have a right for your own view...but as u mentioned a teams mentality goin into a game is just as important as the quality of the players!!

im not gonna say no more but i hope they can keep it up and stay in at least the top 5-6
