We might even go into the game below them.

Only if they win 5-0!!

Actually think relegation would be the only thing that would change EVERYTHING that is needed to wake up the CLUB?

I think it would be the worst possible thing to happen to us mate.Once we are automatically safe we need to get rid of BFS and his clowns, the board hopefully have a shortlist, the new manager gets rid of the deadwood and is given some time.Would you really want us to go the way the likes of Leeds have?

The reality is that we are not going down.

 

[tim cahill]

We’ll get enough points at home to stay up.

 

[PeregrineT]

Quite bi-polar, this lot.

We arent getting relegated no matter how loud crazy people scream.

 

[technojoe]

So you think we cant muster 6 points at home? Pffttt

 

[Neiler]

How the hell did we get 34 points.

 

[Khalekan]

Amazed that their are worse teams than us in the league.

Great league, is the Barclays.

What I find absolutely incredible is that we still sit in the top half of the table

 

[jaybx1878]

I wouldn't trust these rat players to get the few points we need, absolute cowards.

 

[hallamblue]

This made me when he said it.

Everton that.

I said it myself literally 2 minutes before he did. It was frightening how much I was agreeing with what he said today.

??????

Us -16

I got confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zezti]

There's a fairly high chance of finishing below Swansea which really shows how piss poor we've been the last few months.

The fume when Brighton smash us 3-0 and Sam blames our inability to follow his instructions

Good afternoon (well not really) fellow blooos. After another disheartening defeat delivered by the fat man, I think it might be time to look reality in the eyes.

The funfair that some on here created by championing the saviour seems to have back fired. The glorified survival specialist who was brought in because we were going down (as they’d have us believe) has now sent us spiralling into free fall.

Coming in we sat 13th and 5 points off the relegation zone, fast forward 16 games and £40m spent on attacking reinforcements we are 7 points ahead with a worrying set of fixtures ahead.

Everton v Brighton
Stoke v Everton
Everton v Man City
Everton v Liverpool
Swansea v Everton
Everton v Newcastle
Huddersfield v Everton
Everton v Southampton
West Ham v Everton

The road to survival will include lots of twists and turns and it’s conceivable that 40points may not be enough.

Burnley managed to have 20+ shots today, if the RS and City turn up at the old lady with a lob-on then we could see 2 double figure games

Looking at the above fixtures I can only see us picking a maximum of 7, at a push. A reality that we may need to accept that our £300m team could be playing football in the championship next season.

I, admittedly, got to far carried away in the summer. A huge outlay casted a shadow on my judgement, now reality has gripped me by the balls.

So, my fellow blues, I adhere you not to hide behind the old “we’re too good” argument and prepare for a run in that made men of us in the 90’s

The fear is real, embrace it

The way I see it, we have three games to save ourselves the ignominy that is relegation.

Right now I find it impossible to believe we will not lose all our remaining away games.

We might draw one or two of them but I would not risk any money on that happening.

And those four remaining away games are against teams not very far behind us so a loss would see them snapping at our heels.

We have five home games left.

Two of them are against City and the RS......only a certified lunatic would see owt but two losses there.

Which leaves three home games in which to spare our blushes.

Brighton, Barcodes and Saints.

Now, even tonight I see at least six points there...... but again, I would not put any dough on it happening.

We badly been to beat Brighton next week......otherwise 40 points is going to look an awful long way away
