And Villa's win tonight only heightens that worry, which is why anyone calling that result a good one for us is crazy.

That's a bit harsh.

Whilst I wanted a draw there tonight, I said before the game I would rather have a Villa win than a Baggies win.

The reason?

I refuse to let fear ruin my enjoyment of my football.

Mindful as I am that we are too close to the relegation zone for comfort and that relegation is indeed a possibilty, I also believe we will avoid that fate.

It is way too defeatist to sit brooding over the results of the teams below us when there are still thirty points plus to play for.

I want to see attainable targets above us .

And right now, thanks to the results this evening we have two teams in the crosshairs tomorrow night.

And even if we fail to win at Stoke we will remain just one result away from overtaking them with games at home to Barcodes and QPR coming down the pike.

I am Everton, me.

You know.....the team which has played more seasons in the top flight of English football than any other?

It is no accident we can boast of this achievement.

We are the ultimate survivors.

We have stayed up with much worse squads than this one.

So hang tuff......it'll soon be over.

And we will overtake a few of these teams above us, get into a comfort zone in a few weeks then we can see how far our European adventure can take us.

We will all be in Warsaw come May, wondering why we ever had this conversation.

As Oscar Wilde once said.......we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

So I am glad Villa won and I ain't crazy :Blink:

(well, not much anyway :()

Keep the faith, my friend.

COYB ;)
 

We should not be in the position we are in, its as simple as that. I honestly cannot believe what has happened to our team, the team that I think had the greatest potential to break the top four in years. The whole thing reeks of bad management, we don`t know the behind the scenes, but we do know something is badly wrong. This run of results suggests Martinez cannot stop this slide or change things, tonight is massive! Lose and questions must be asked as how best to move forward.

How on earth can anyone NOT be concerned? Every year a team around mid-table goes into freefall and is fighting for their lives, this year it is us, make no mistake.

Just need to get some points on the board because i well and truly have itchy bum time.

You can get cream for that though.
 

How can you be concerned? We're only 32 points off the top. If we win all of our games and Chelsea, City, Arsenal, United, Southampton, Liverpool, Tottenham, Swansea, Stoke, Newcastle, Palace and West Brom lose all of thier remaining games, we've won the league, mate.

"Freefall"?!

And see those bottom three? They'll still be on 22 points after tonight, They are dead.

I cant emphasise enough the importance of both Palace and WBA dropping points last night. We can leapfrog them both either tonight or the coming weeks when our fixtures become lighter and there's heavier to deal with....in fact, Palace and WBA both have the run-in from hell in the last month of the season.

Forget looking down, we have to be clawing back those two above now. The relegation places are all but finalised. No point in looking downward.

In Roberto we trust always knew he could win us this league
 
Statto odds on EFC relegation after last nights games: 130

I'm not worried yet. Primarily because there is at least 3 worse teams in the league - secondly because I think we'll pick up enough points to stay clear on our own.

I admire your unwavering optimism Dave, I can't muster the mental strength to believe we are 100% safe until mathematically it's impossible to go down. Just been a horrendous season.

What's the odds on us finishing 12th? That is looking very decent, atm.

Almost there in reality...despite all the scaremongering.

We'll finish 12th, imo.

Not really scaremongering I would say reality.
We are in a relegation fight
2 league wins in 15 games look at the facts
