The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[MikeH72]

Obviously not the most important thing, but Merson and Sutton both predicted a Palace win in their weekly predictions column.

So sniff it the pair of ya, particularly Sutton, who never has a nice word to say about us in print, or when he’s co-commentator etc.

Every time Merson gets something wrong involving us his hatred towards us goes up. He’s at boiling point now, you can see it in his face every time he’s forced to discuss us. He goes redder and redder, that might be the whisky but I suspect it’s also a hearty helping of rage. Just hope he’s been staying away from the bookies when predicting our games the utter mess.

Again pointless person…. Get him off tv now.

Anyhow, 2 big mid table 6 pointers coming up now….

Beat United we push away from them…

Then we may have the opportunity to leap frog Brentford also or at least be within a point or so of them depending on next weekend results.

Let’s just pick them off one by one

I said after his first press conference how safe he made me feel. Just never sounded like he was going to drop the baby. He hasn’t.

Cmon Wolves

 

[Victus]

Honestly think I'd have supported Wolves regardless today

He's still salty over Mike Walker

We actually have winnable games (manure at home, Brentford away, wolves away, whu at home) before going to the corrugated tin shed to hopefully ruin their title push.

Not saying we will win them… but they’re winnable.

It’s not “fortune” what’s happened with Beto. It’s called “coaching” and “tactical acumen”, two things which were completely alien to your cowardly idol.

Beto was playing the exact same way since he arrived. He's just had a long unbroken run because of DCLs injury. That's just luck.

 

[davek]

17 points from 19 games is not a point a game. We were on track for 34 points, we’re now on track for 45. We were also scoring under a goal per game and are now averaging 2 goals per game. You are insane or pig headedly stubborn if you’re incapable of acknowledging that this manager has improved us overnight from walking through the door.

Yes, and as said at the time: safety.

Not vaulting but a selection of sentiments from the end of last year.

Bugger me does it look and feel a heck of a lot rosier now. Bonus shout out to @Del-boy, he called it getting the Moyesiah in.

I’VE BEEN VAULTED!!! Feels fantastic… now I know why davek is the way he is!!

Glad to say that whilst we really were in the mix to go down at the time, we really are nowhere near it now.

Before the game yesterday I thought we needed three wins to be safe. We now have one. Two more needed. You'd expect some draws in that run too so I think 40 points is very achievable.

I was actually looking forward to watching the palace game. That will be the difference for the rest of the season and a great way to end our time at goodison

I think 33 / 34 points guarantees safety...we'll get between 45 and 50.

No one on here can argue with your mathematical ability.
