My take on Dyche is he can take a lot of credit if we stay up. He inherited an utter shitshow. However, if we have new ambitious onwnership over the summer, then I think it would be eminently possible to upgrade. The reality - it seems to me - is that we won't. Even if we have new ownership, I...

And this is the decline summed up in two sentences. I am 51, so when I supported Everton in my boyhood we were one of the mightiest clubs in the land. This was before the Kendall era when the team was poor, but the club was regarded as a leading light in the game. Goodison was one of the...

Yeah, I think he's finished. It happens. We can't rely on him anyway, with the injuries, so we need to ensure we have proper cover in the attack next season. Going into another season with DCL as your main striker is asking for Championship football.

It probably is - but the only caveat is that strange things happen at the end of a season. Teams that have little left to play for tend to go AWOL meaning it's a little more likely a poor side can scratch out what would be unexpected results earlier in the season. The key for us is to make sure...

Didn't he used to have a podcast with the Esk and Rodger Armstrong? I quite liked that, for a while, but always had the slight impression they all fell out with each other.

What's his "role" on Toffee TV? To be the "business" advisor who educates the plebs about savings accounts and whatnot?

'Tis a touch self-regarding verging on the delusional, isn't it?

I love it when vipers turn on themselves. Remember the Independent Commission falling over itself to tells us of Forest's "impeccable cooperation"? Well, the snakes have turned and bitten them on the arse. Utterly deserved. As for the VAR, it's outrageous Forest are throwing slurs at Attwell...

A face for commentary. Mind you, a superb set-piece taker. We'd get a corner in 1995 and Goodison would become tumescent with excitement as Hinchliffe to Big Dunc was a serious weapon.

Clearly the manager has fallen out with his midfield. Perhaps inevitable, but he’s picked a bad time to do that. When you’re depending on a player who can’t pass and a player who can’t fight, you’re on a wing and a prayer.

When we lose the ball, eh? It's a good thing our players have such a good touch and we are renowned as a passing side.

Fully expecting another cowardly clown show, today. These disappointments haven't got the bottle to see us safe earlier than the Sheffield United game, and if they are depending on a win that day to stay up, we should all prepare ourselves for the worst. We'll capitulate as soon as we concede...

Tune in tomorrow to hear Victus say: "I think I'm having a heart attack."

Of course it does. But a boy can dream. I fully expect a defeat tomorrow.

I know people are running the permutations, and realistically we SHOULD survive, but this is probably as much about WHEN we survive as IF. In other words, for the sake of our mental states, nervous systems, and personal well-being, we need this over in about a week. A win tomorrow brings this...
