The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[duncs pigeon]

4 wins and we're safe. bottom 3 aren't getting above 38 points

tbh it could be 2 wins and a draw. i cant see them getting above 32

Dont want to leave it so late, but just beat Ipswich and Soton will be enough imo

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

5 points max we need, there's no way Leicester get 5 wins and a draw to top that, not happening.

Agree. If you look at points per game for the bottom three then I reckon 31/32 points will be safe this year. I know it's not guaranteed one of them won't go on a run etc but we ain't going down this year.

When was the last time we were bigger odds than City to go down!

Before they got their money it was all the time.

Can we change the title of this thread to something involving Everton

I’m all for changing the thread title BUT I would want to make use of the word NOT.

we have three very winnable games against west ham, ipswich and southampton at home left

and lets face it man utd these days are dog turd so we should be able to beat them at home

Weekend "rival" Fixtures

Leicester v Arsenal - COME ON ARSENAL
Southampton v Bournemouth
Villa v Ipswich
Kopites v Wolves - COME ON WOLVES

If we can grab some at Palace, I think we are about 6/7 points to safety.

yeah no chance leicester, southampton, ipswich or wolves get a point this weekend

that's not a prediction, its a spoiler

Still 14 games to go, just want to get safe asap.
But I think us schooling Leicester and Ipswich losing to Southampton on same day was turning point.

TBF, we struggled against London darlings Spurs (who have basically won sweet FA over the last 100 years) but are a London club. We struggled against Brighton who won 3 away games before losing to Moyes’ Everton and since have been battered by Forest but apart from that haven’t lost since December. We drew with possibly the best performing team in Europe this season.
We also trashed Leicester despite being told a few days before that it would be difficult because Leicester had just beaten the London darlings who are one of the best teams in the league. Obvs their injury list cleared up between being unlucky to lose at lucky Everton to then losing against the best team in the bottom half.
We have 10 points from 5 games under Moyes. We are not going down.

Turning point was bringing in a football manager.

Would love to be playing this Chelsea in next few weeks. They look completely toothless.

In my world, it is. If you want to spend 3 months crapping yourself then enjoy.

Tough fixtures and a bare bones squad with injuries....still not sleeping well yet

Who knows but I'm sure we'll be fine.

Points totals of 18th placed teams since 2011. I think Luton had 26 last year!
