I haven’t had a flicker of nerves all season about any game honestly. It feels completely different to last season for me when it was affecting my everyday life and consuming me. I think I accepted we were likely to go down when the summer transfer window shut and that’s made it more tolerable.
But that's the everton way. Mostly despair with flickers of hope
 
Villa stayed up on the last day with an away draw against West Ham with Smith, JT and Shakey, If memory serves me correctly we got 7 points from the last 9 which included a win against Arsenal. We were dead and buried and looked nailed on for relegation.

Is that when Sheff Utd were absolutely robbed blind at your place?
 

Im the same, last season I was checking the League Table, worrying about it hourly, this season, I just dont care.

They have beaten me.
We have four remaining home games this season. We're two games ahead of Chelsea at home last year (six to go, we're on eight), but look at the parades.

Look at how the fans got together, with the situation in many instances much better than it is now. I'm not sure if I can see that happening this season...

.... there's too much of a malaise; the fan base is emotionally drained. Before we played Chelsea on the 1st May, this was the look at the bottom of the table.

Watford and Norwich were down. We were competing against Leeds and Burnley, with Southampton and others looking relatively safe - if not mathematically.

This year, nobody is cast adrift. Yes, there are more teams in the mix, but I can't see a few of them being near the bottom after a few games.

If we're looking at a comparable time, week for week, here is the table a year to the day. Arguably, you could say we were in a safer position.

There is certainly a malaise around the club, as you say, the fanbase is just drained, we have external issues, which take our energy, things like taking a mortgage out to turn on a light and make some beans on toast.

The spectre of points deduction, a not fit for purpose Board, sure we are all trying really hard to get behind the team, but from my POV, I just cant reach the heights needed.

Yes, but the were the ones who got you in that mess in the first place!!!
 

Palace are safe - they always had the kindest remaining fixtures and they need to average less than a point per game now for safety, you can forget them

According to Nate Silver and co, they have literally less than a 1% chance of relegation now

About the only thingI agree with that on there is the bottom three not getting more than 34 points. That seems inevitable to me unless Leicester out of that lot are completely transformed by Smith.

We'll get more than the 8 points more for us predicted by that. If we get 3 points on Saturday you'll see Everton's final predicted total to be near 40 points. Wait and see if it isn't.

Leicester have lost 7 of their last 8 games, it really wont take much to "transform" them.
 
Credit to Dyche - it’s in our own hands, which it wasn’t before he turned up, so if we stuff it up then we can’t have any real complaints.

I agree with @Goat and a few others, I’m absolutely knackered and done in by almost everything to do with Everton at the minute, it’s hard to get up when you keep getting the wind knocked out of you. That last season almost finished me and I’ve had sleepless nights yet again this year - I’ve tried to put it out of my head, and I know there are many other things in life that are worse and do bother me, but Everton and the footy shouldn’t be one of the things I have to worry about - I wish I didn’t care as much as I do sometimes.

Dyche and his back room team has been the one big positive for me about Everton recently, a pleasant surprise both tactically and from his press conferences.

Hoping Dyche gets us over the line and is allowed to rebuild and then, as soon as the last ball has been kicked, the fans can fully focus on the real issue which is getting this owner and board sorted out.

That is all we can do in the summer if we stay up or go down - if moshiri wants to stay he has to get rid of the lot of them and bring in competent football people to run the club for him - there’s no other way out for him.

Transformation to be meaningful for them means getting them to a position where they get 4 wins in the last 7 games (they play City away next so they can forget about that).

4 wins gets them 12 points and a 37 point finish.

They can pull off the odd result against the odds like that away win at Villa, but 4 wins for a team in their run of form is fantasy land stuff. They play Newcastle and Liverpool in their remaining games.
