Relegation

[Armaghtoffee]

They have league positions to play for. They can still finish top half.

This is our last realistic chance of picking up points and our need is much greater than Palace’s. Goodison won’t tolerate anything but a win tomorrow.

and to arsenals

Ha. Not quite. In Spain it's legal to pay teams playing against your rivals to win but you can't bribe your direct opponents.

We would of been safe on Sunday but for some Sunday league style reffing. The players gave all but for the 10-15th time this season horrendous reffing had screwed us over. Yes most of the season they been terrible but they turned up lately

I don't disagree, but this is the price a team is always liable to pay for not turning up for many of the previous 35 matches over the course of the season. Basically, our own incompetence has now put us in the margin of error - or incompetence (or worse) in the case of this ludicrous referee.

I am not sure that practice would be illegal here either.

Brentford will keep us up.

This is my last post until Sunday evening. I don’t want to talk about Everton. I don’t want hear about Everton. Fortunately, I live in a part of the world where, if I don’t actively search it out, there will be absolutely no news about the club. There’s NHL playoffs, NBA playoffs, a new baseball season and what few people that are interested in the Premier League, aren’t interested in Everton, so I can shut it out…because the “up or down” scenario is driving me batty.
“Up” would make my year. “Down” would be downer…it’s the not knowing that kills ya!

Feel like this is a cop out Darryl.

I’m going to message you Everton stuff, so we’re all suffering together

 

[barneygumble]

Tbf so can Brentford so Leeds should also have a hard time

Frank has alluded to it being a huge achievement too.

I think they’ll be going for it. I posted earlier, theyve not conceded in 4 home games and haven’t been bad going forward.

What a life. The famous EFC.

 

[NathDogg]

I think back then, Everton fans were quite happy to see them actually winning something.

Defo this - me pop (god rest his soul) used to go the pit when Everton were away and so did all his brothers and rs mates, vice Versa - it really was “us” as in the city, versus the world, and they didn’t mind them winning, except for when they played us. They really weren’t relevant until the 60s as they had done nothing of note but there was no nastiness or bitterness then.

According to pop, Shankley the gobsilhite changed all that and started them off with the hate and division, but they try to blame us for it.

 

[MrGrumpy]

They only became successful in the 60’s, and it wasn’t that long ago they went about ten years without a trophy.

An now there the most successful club in England while we havnt moved

 

[Dymak]

CM will be where the game is won or lost. If Gomes starts, we will not win. It's not pessimism, it's just a fact.

 

[davek]

Brentford will keep us up.

I'll be happy enough if after Thursday's game Burnley still need a win to get safe.

Newcastle rather than Brentford will keep us up.

 

[matty1878]

Settle Matty. We have this tomorrow.

Goodison will be white hot like it was for United and Chelsea and we will get over the line. Palace are a good team yeah but they have nothing to play for apart from pride and that won’t be enough.

i hope your right mate, everyone said that about brentford but i know we got bumped by the ref,

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Not totally true, if we're honest. They'd won 5 league titles before the 1960s, the same as Everton.

I'd honestly start Davies over him if Allan isn't fit we need legs
