‘Kin hell. Haaland hunting down Dixie’s record like a tripe hound.

Tyler wetting his pants at the thought

I would be delighted if he got a double hat trick today

2002-2013 - Moyes. One season we flirted with the drop. The rest was, despite low funds, a pretty stable period in our History.

Then this......

Martinez, Unsworth, Koeman, Unsworth, Allardyce, Silva, Ferguson, Ancelotti, Benitez, Ferguson, Lampard, Dyche

2013 to present. That's 12 managers in 10 years gentleman. Albeit 4 of them were caretakers for short periods. So 8 in 10. In any type of business, how can stability be introduced with this type of disruption? Were all these managers so bad they would've got us relegated? Were we too entitled?

Has the fan's 'entitlement syndrome' influenced poor decisions by the board?

The board's entitlement syndrome influenced poor decisions by the board, but we have a dedicated thread for that.

Here’s the scenario

Everton must win their last game of the season to relegate Leicester after forest and soton are already confirmed relegated

Bournemouth have already secured safety with 1 game to go. Half their players are still drunk from the week long celebrations of staying up.

Leicester have to beat West Ham to stay up

Does Moyes do us a favour?

Do Everton beat a half pissed and not arsed Bournemouth to stay up?

You mean West Ham with a European final to prepare for

Not looking good

Feel sick

I did not see these injuries and suspensions coming and it's killing us at a crucial stage.

It is VERY concerning.

 

[LucBesson]

It’s our form that I’m concerned with. I just don’t see where we can pick up points if today is a representative example of where we are

Don't think it is any more or less so than the Arsenal win to be honest. Still feel like we've got a few clean sheets in us. Goals is a massive worry obviously.

You mean West Ham with a European final to prepare for

Any team that concedes 20 shots at goal to a no mark Belgium side does not deserve to be playing in any European final

Leeds are the fifth remaining team in the mix and can't be forgotten after that performance last Sunday. They have the worst last four games of anyone.

I dont know mate. I've seen enough of Leeds to know they can get at least another 2/3 wins from their remaining games.

 

[Chewbacca]

Relegation? Nailed on and fully deserved I’m afraid.

 

[matty1878]

First team in history to be mathematically relegated while not even in the relegation zone.

that’s right. your off your head if you think this shower is staying up

 

[DualityNSNO]

Don't worry, someone at GP reminded him during his time there...

Bet he's still bricking it scoring goals for fun lol

My point is, and I know old people on here will cry about it, that these old records are usually "forgotten" because it was a different time - same as it is in all sports.

 

[LucBesson]

Just remembered City have got to come to Goodison. Something to look forward to.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I dont know mate. I've seen enough of Leeds to know they can get at least another 2/3 wins from their remaining games.

Yeah, they are by a long way the least likely of the remaining five candidates. But I saw enough last Sunday to know them getting the points is a foregone conclusion.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Will we become the first Club in Championship history with multiple £100k a week players on the books?

We're facing apocalypse here. Some of these don't even play for us as well, just look at Gomes and Alli who are contacted and under no obligation whatsoever to leave.

 

[davek]

2 points from 12 has killed us.

I feel very concerned now. I dont like what I'm seeing.

 

[matty1878]

It’s very odd to dedicate so much energy to arguing the team you support are already relegated when they aren’t even in the zone.

We were in a worse position at points last season and stayed up. So anybody arguing we are “DEFO DOWN” has the memory of a housefly or is just deliberately being a misery.

we could score last season
and the fans got us out of it.

completely different there’s no doubt we’re gone
