Relegation 2022/23

[Steve EFC]

West Ham and the fans will surely be buzzing? They won’t want to end their league campaign at home with a defeat, they’ll want the current feel good factor to keep up the momentum going in to the final of the cup. I think it’ll be a draw actually, which would be absolutely fine. That would mean the late equaliser yesterday suddenly become huge and actually mean something. Without that we’d have dropped in to the relegation zone on goal difference if Leeds pick up a point today and it would then still be out of our hands.

Hope you’re right.

I think Leeds might win today. Even if they don't, they'll beat Spurs (everyone does nowadys........apart form us). We won't beat Bournemouth. The board and Super 'we need to work harder in the transitions' Frank have done for us!

The Alcohol has wore off.

We're fcked if leeds win today.

Maybe not. Perhaps it’s written in the stars that Richy saves our bacon on the last day even though he no longer plays for us? Failing that, maybe Danjuma actually does something useful and in the end helps save us? The lord works in mysterious ways..

I live in essex and the rumours are west ham are going to put weakened teams out over their final 2 games to rest key players for their conference final, those 2 games are against our 2 rivals for relegation leeds and leicester, the talk is they will start with a number of youth team players against leicester, if leeds beat them today we will be in big trouble.

Are you a multi @Mrtallywacker ?

Liverpool got a VAR decision against them yesterday so I think anything is possible this weekend

This started way before Lampard. He was just another poor piece to the boards puzzle.

Anyone know what happens if we end up tied on points and goal difference with Leeds?

Goals scored. So they would go above us, I think.

Win lose or draw next week, our points total this year is an embarrassment.

If we stay up it'll be due to teams below being even worse. No cause for celebration really.

That was trying to make Newcastle secure in the CL slots so Leicester can turn them over, leaving us with a three way battle at the bottom (They thought it would be 4 but Arsenal are donkeys). Least this way there would be a big end of season drama...and it's live.

Definitely at no stage can you say we pulled ourselves out of a situation, we've been bumping along doing the bare minimum.

….my take on the situation;

Leeds beat West Ham - we stay up if we beat Bournemouth and Leeds fail to beat Spurs. If we draw and Leeds lose it will be settled on GD, Leeds need worst than -24 for us to survive.

Leeds draw with West Ham - we stay up if we match or better Leeds result with Spurs. If Leeds better our result we will be relegated.

Leeds lose to West Ham - Leeds are relegated if they fail to beat Spurs. We stay up if we match or better Leeds result. If Leeds beat Spurs and we draw it will be settled on GD, Leeds need worst than -24 for us to survive.

Leicester beat Newcastle; we need to better Leicester’s result to West Ham or we are relegated. It’s very unlikely we can turn their superior GD around.

Leicester draw with Newcastle; Leicester will be relegated if they fail to beat West Ham. We stay above them if we better or match their result against West Ham.

Leicester lose to Newcastle; Leicester have to beat West Ham and we have to lose to Bournemouth for them to finish above us.

Bournemouth have the number on us...we need Leeds and Leicester to fail so we might survive. But, whilst I appreciate the 'knife-edginess', Everton nowadays plays such lesser role in, and of, my attendances, that I won't lose any sleep over relegation.

Terribly run club....clueless.

We’ll know if yesterdays point was a good one or not after this round of fixtures. But I can’t get away from the nagging feeling that we’ve handed the teams below us a lifeline with the last game to come at home for both.

Hopefully neither of them take advantage.

Lately we’ve been playing after a lot of these sides. I didn’t like going early this weekend. I wonder if it added to the nerves of the players.
