Correct

It reminds me of the 1970s with two points for a win keeping things very tight. As a child, I think it was the league table in the Sunday Mirror that first interested me in football - along with the pools - WLWDL. Who was this mysterious W.B.A. who have climbed four places by winning at Norwich City?

Let's face it: with most teams - bar Wolves - capable of beating anyone else on any given day, it make for a more interesting season.

Do you think the old 2 point system worked well? Or are we better off for the 3 points?

We are going to be as midtable as it gets this year. Could finish anywhere from about 8th to 14th.

These 2 away wins in the last 8 days are extremely important and we really shouldn't get into trouble at the bottom from here.

We were almost relegated today, but now we might be in europe.

Look forward to this continuing.

Mad isn't it?

Three encourages teams to attack. Winning has a premium. However, in a league with such massive inequality, two points for a win would keep things a little tighter.

Yeah, but if we lost every game then we would be.

Don't you see how close we are to getting relegated? All it takes is for us to not win another game this season and we will likely be relegated.
Why can't you see this??????

Oh mate behave

 

[knowing your history]

Difference this season compared to recent times is the team just dosen't collapse mentally after a poor loss.

There was some nervous energy on here after the Spurs defeat (which was never a 3-0 based on the actual game). Team responded excellently with 7 points from next 3 games.

Then an abnormal defeat against Newcastle (basically 1-0 down from kick off) and three days later a brilliant win at a bogey away ground and the performance was good aswell.

So that's the difference in this squad compared to the ones under Lampard that would collapse and also plodding along under Dyche before a poor loss and then suddenly it's a 10 match winless run.

The league is tighter this year apart from the bottom clubs because everyone is beating one another only Wolves looked doomed ATM

Wolves did beat us comfortably in the League cup!

 

[Gallaeo]

Spurs far shorter odds than us to be relegated.

The last 30 yrs has made me glass half empty when it comes to Everton but this thread should be closed….

The date to achieve 21 points over the last four seasons:

2025 - December 2nd
2024 - February 24th
2023 - February 18th
2022 - February 12th

A few bad performances (Spurs, Newcastle and Wolves in the cup) but definite progress overall.
