"I want my £1m bonus for staying up" says Sam Allardyce in his post match interview
It's not really stats. 18th place has 22 points after 24 games, so (22/24) * 38 means they're on pace for 35 points.
We're very unlikely to go down. That's a fact. Obviously it could happen, but it's very unlikely.
I've been saying that for a while, and I'm in the US so I don't even get motd. For the teams below us to pass us, they would to have take points from other teams. Since they're probably not going to take a lot of points from the top 6, they'll have to take them from each other. This is why they cannot all pass us, and why there is a huge difference between 7 points clear in 15th position and 7 points clear in 9th position.
We've been awful through three managers now. Why do people think that there's a manager out there under whom we would not be awful?
It's a stupid thing to say, regardless of it's accuracy
It was only ever going to garner the sort of responses displayed here in this thread
He's hardly a smoother operator
EDIT: The more I think about it, he's an idiot for saying this. He had to know it would get this reaction, and if he didn't then he's drowning in his own arrogance

Good excuse to sit back against every team in the league and play hoofball.

I wouldn't even give him till the end of the season after these latest negative defeatist comments. He is paving the way for his bread and butter and making Everton Football Club a laughing stock. Would be completely unacceptable to any other club in the league. They could give this man a 'billion' pound to spend and he would still be the same. Relegation struggles and cack football is all he knows how to do and he has made a lifetime career out of it and left seriously damaged clubs in his wake. Cannot go quick enough for me. Would rather have anyone in charge than this no mark. Cannot see where the next win is coming from no matter who we play.
I don't see what the issue is with what Big Sam said. He was asked a question and gave a brutally honest answer. Better that than being told how 'phenomenal' we where, despite being thrashed four nil by spurs, or being given the old "but yes, this is football" line.
The one thing that disappoints me is that he said we are short on pace; but we have Vlasic and Lookman who are only being used here and there.

Get rid and get Silva in.
And to all those bleating about "but but but it'd make us a laughing stock to get rid of another manager" = we're laughed at now. We're on our knees in the gutter.
Of course, that grinning clueless divvy Moshiri wont have the gumption to move for Silva now. Bad timing as per usual with him.

Not only that.....he speaks as if he is merely an interested onlooker rather than a man being paid a fortune to make sure the team’s “confidence” does not drop and that it is not “nervous” about playing a bottom three team at home.

He's a nitwit, but it's true, we are in a relegation battle.
We laughed at Moyes declaring Sunderland being in a relegation fight when he took that job at the start of last season.
Not only does it heap extra pressure on confidence challenged players and fans, it can very easily become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Could see this coming a mile off, surprised it's taken so long. I'll vault myself from the day before he took over.
Can't quote the other but also said:
Palace weren’t even in the relegation zone! Sunderland had played 8 games! Neither of them were seen as anything remotely resembling Certs to go down, that’s just what fat sam wants you to believe. You think it was a coincidence that he was gobbing off about how bad we are the other week? It’s just part of the narrative, makes him look like a miracle worker when he averages 1.2 points a game with a team that was averaging 1 point a game, after he’s added £300k a week to the wage bill.

I would hate the thoughts of bringing Silva in given his disastrous record in his short time in England.
But hiring him now would be well in keeping with Moshiri’s suspect judgement re managers since he came here
But.....imagine he did hire him.
The Watford away game would be a joy to behold....
Heads would be exploding in the stands all around Vicarage Road

Blues in relegation scrap says Allardyce
Sam Allardyce has admitted Everton are in a battle to keep their Premier League status.
After taking 12 points in his first six games as Everton boss things were looking up for Big Sam’s side, but after a torrid run resulting in the Blues picking up one point in their last four outings it is looking bleak.
When asked if the Toffees could be dragged back into the relegation fight Allardyce replied: “Yes, very.
“Especially after performing like that and last week's second-half performance.
“I've seen a huge drain in the confidence in the players in the space of one-and-a-half football matches because we didn't do too bad in the first-half against Tottenham.
“The quality of the Tottenham side I can kind of accept but West Brom are in the bottom three and if anybody should've been suffering from nerves it should've been them more than us.”
It is clear to see why Allardyce is looking over his shoulder with just six points separating Everton in ninth from the bottom three.
