God knows I hate this team…but I think if west ham beat leeds today we will do it. By hook or by crook I feel goodison will find a way to beat Bournemouth next week, i don’t have any hope that spurs will not lose to leeds so today feels massive.

Who would you rather be playing at home on the last day to possibly avoid relegation? Bournemouth? Tottenham? West Ham?

Who would you rather be relying on to score you a goal on the last day to possibly avoid relegation?

Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Neal Maupay or Rodrigo?

Rephrased -
Bournemouth - who would achieve their biggest result since knocking Utd out of the FA cup in the 80s by relegating us.
Tottenham - who are a totally rudderless team of mercenaries clearly already on the beach.
West ham - who's season is now all about winning the new European inter-toto texaco cup and who have a manager who has never won a pot other than the charity shield out to prove a point to everyone in football.
 

The sense of gloom stinking out this weekend just won't go away.

I hate having to depend on other teams results but am equally annoyed that I'm so used to it by now.

The best scenario is we go into next week with our fate still in our hands and pray that Goodison becomes a cauldron that pushes this collection of terrible players over the line.

We'll then have to face the real possibility of next season being a copy of this one, but that's a stress for another time.

You forgot about the points deduction/transfer ban we will be operating under for next season, if we survive 😃
 
The team persevered until the very end yesterday, but our fate is no longer in our own hands.

Two out of three will go down. Leeds and Leicester can both go above us, and there is a good chance that one of them will.

You can analyse the games as much as you like, but results in these difficult times are unpredictable. Uncomfortable as it is, we can only watch and wait.

I think our luck has run out. The gods are playing with us now with that last-minute goal yesterday, giving us more hope...

I was at the Olympiastadion here in Berlin yesterday to watch the relegation six-pointer between Hertha BSC and VfL Bochum. Hertha had to win to have a chance of catching Bochum on goal difference on the last day. Anything else and they were down. A brilliant, tense game where both sides hit the wooodwork in the last five minutes saw them lead 1-0 deep into injury time. 71,000 people were in party mode. Then, with the last corner of the game, Bochum equalised with a free header. Silence. An explosion of joy in the Bochum kurve. Hertha relegated.

In the end, their luck ran out. Like us last season, they stayed up by the skin of their teeth. The invoice arrived yesterday. Ours comes in installments: today, tomorrow, and next Sunday. You sense it's in the post.

And we can't say we didn't deserve it.

In a weird way, I almost envied the Hertha fans on the train back into the city centre. Their ordeal was ending. I saw the news of Mina's goal come through in the crush for the S-Bahn, but by the time Forest won, I felt that at least Hertha fans knew their fate. They would still have been very long shots to survive even if they'd hung on but at least they know now. Us? More hope thanks to Mina. But no win that would have got us to the brink of safety. Instead, the precipice of uncertainty. Agonising.

Bloody hell football,

Received some nice messages from Everton fans and Leicester fans but bitter and angry ones from Leeds, and have been well received on this thread the last couple of months, really want you guys to stay up now at the expense of Leeds so will be a massive fan of WHU today, think they will put on a show for their home fans so hopefully they should take a point which will sort you out
