Relegation 2022/23

[ford_uk]

Must admit I thought we were nailed on to win today.

 

[Kylito]

Jesus. That was bad.

We're gonna have to pray that Leicester, Forest and Southampton are somehow worse than us for the rest of the season.

Fully expecting Leicester to go and beat City now just to rub it in.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

We were doomed when the moment Carlo left us.

They could have got the next appointment right, but they chose Benitez

 

[coleman=quality]

Championship next season and even if we do stay up expect exactly the same again next season relegation battling team that’s what we now are and no surprise with the amount of we have in that side.

 

[john jako]

Just can’t rely on other teams dropping points. Can’t see us getting many more points before the season ends

 

[Rook]

I think it’s down to the current bottom 4. The rest of the teams are separating themselves.

maybe Leeds gets dragged in but that's it.

 

[SydneyFan]

No need to panic here.

OK a terrible result but the positives..

Leicester and forest will probably lose
Southampton lost.

We will be in no worse position come tomorrow night.

We will definitely pick up the results needed.

Especially when dcl returns.

There will be ups and downs but we will stay up.

 

[dannyboy]

basically we now have to win away at palace, away at Leicester and at home against Newcastle and Bournemouth, all without a striker

It’s a desperate situation

I just can't see us winning away from home. There's not enough resolve in the defence and the attack don't do anything to take away the pressure from them.

You know, I was a teenager when Everton were the best team in Europe. Then, we declined to the point of near death in 1994. And since then it has been a slow managed decline with other near-death experiences. Over time, I forgot what it was like to support a good team. Then the hurlers came along and reminded me what it felt like to support not a good team but a great team. Just as Everton once were. I felt like a Corkman!

All good things pass. This Limerick team will pass. But what memories. As for Everton? The memories are very old now. Perhaps it's time to finally put his beloved old dog down. He's had his day.

I say it only half-seriously, but quite honestly if they just disappeared out of existence it would be the cleanest and kindest thing. I can only speak for myself, whether its reflecting on 30-plus years of misery or thinking ahead to what's to come. Oh dear.

We're stuck with them I'm afraid. My feeling is the majority saw the writing on the wall this season, and there isn't anything near the gnashing of teeth there was this time last year. The fight has gone out of the fanbase and it's perfectly understandable. The club have been masquerading as a professional outfit in an elite competition since before it started even. Nothing more sophisticated than the law of averages suggests relegation was bound to come sooner or later if a club merely exists as we do.

If we are to drop, then I'll still live on some hope. Perhaps the tiniest smidgeon of hope, but some nonetheless. I'll not mourn for Everton in the Premier League. We've never competed in it, not by my definition of the word.

That's the thing Cork are in bit of a barren period at the moment in both GAA codes.

I still am confident that Cork will return to glory again. With Everton i don't ever see us getting back to the top table again sadly.

Cork's sheer size means it's only a matter of time before you come back and dominate. Yes, you've lost some ground over the years, perhaps became complacent, but demographics and tradition alone dictate that Cork will return - and probably not in the too distant future.

What has changed for Limerick is that this team has changed our narrative. We now finally know what it truly feels like to be successful, know exactly what it takes (all-round excellence, not two genius players and a gang of mulloughers), and no longer have an inferiority complex. We won't be at the top forever, but we'll likely contend consistently rather than disappearing for a decade and returning every 10-15 years with a decent side.

As for Everton, our narrative has changed too. Kenwright changed the record and told a story of plucky underdogs rather than of a club that always contended for a place at the top table. The inevitable conclusion is now being experienced.

Done as disco.

Cheers Mosh

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Always liked that Danjuma.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Must admit I thought we were nailed on to win today.

how did you think that . we are a woeful side.

 

[edge]

Good goal for spurs
Think Kane is offside though

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

This board can never be forgiven for this
