And then we can all breathe a massive sigh of relief at surviving this unmitigated disaster of a season and move hopefully onwards and upwards with the new manager.

I'd prefer we win our next 2 home games this month (as we should) and get solidly into the top 10. That's what should happen. Any relegation concerns still lingering into late February/early March would be entirely unacceptable.

We should be beating West Brom of course, but Leicester is going to be tough. We have no right to expect to roll them over, they are better than us on paper and in current form.

I said we were 18th when we offered him the job, which is correct. BS attended the West Ham game. It's not like we went out looking for BS as a manager after that match.

Irrelevant, Unsworth was in charge for that game and when it finished we were not 18th. Spin at as much as you want

15th lol lol lol lol. We were sound though weren't we.

Thank god we pulled away when we did with all the teams down there picking up wins recently.

It was a typo friend, we were 13th. Not the 18th that some will have us believe.

This is now the phase where Sam ruins the new manager bounce by having a crisis which plummets the side back towards the drop zone. Then we will win back to back in March time to relieve the pressure and Sam can continue to portray himself as a master escapologist. Seen it all before.

He does Timothy, I’m glad you observe the fat mans stats like me.

He’ll walk away this season as a hero

Build a god damn statue of him

You don't have to be literally 18th to be in a relegation battle I'm afraid. And unless it's on the final day, one win doesn't get you out of one.

Hopefully he will be forced to show some ambition on Friday night. It is a cup game after all.

We were being comprehensively thrashed left right and centre for the first quarter of the season, including by SOUTHAMPTON. That's what I call not putting up a fight.

Unsworth gets no pass from me. It’s a pretty irrelevant argument because this fat mess should never have been appointed

My point is the state of our team is down to another fatter mess that we previously employed. I'm more ashamed to have ever backed him than Allardyce.

We shouldn't be losing any home games. Our record at home this year is disgraceful. Their should be an inquest every time someone comes to Goodison and beats us. There's an air of acceptance round the club at the minute and it stinks.

Yes him and Walsh did an god damn awful job in the summer and both deserved the bullet. Still not one excuse for employing a known hoof merchant who kills football
