Has anyone got this weird, irrational feeling : if we survive relegation, it will be seen as good news by the board, and so they will just keep the status quo in the boardroom, Liver building, and Finch Farm, but relegation might be what they 'need'. I'm very positive, i want only to survive, i want us to be in the top 4 and win stuff, but i can't help veering between hope and despair every few hours. It's horrible.
Luckily this site is working like therapy for me.

I don't think there is any danger of flatness of the fans this Sunday.

I also agree that this is true. We are so lucky to have had that one game with DCL fit and everything clicking at Brighton, and the earlier win at Brentford. 2 wins in 14 games is good? That;s our standard now??
of course there is. If Leicester or Leeds go ahead early on the atmosphere will be awful

I think my girlfriend is getting to the point where she'd feel better if I was thinking about other women instead of Everton.

If we do, at 3 points or similar, I'd take it.
A. They cant apply it this season, as if noting else we will simply appeal until next season starts.
B, it would stop people going on a bout it and,
C, they would have to treat City the same at 3 points per charge, rolling over through seasons..

Heart attack scenario:
Stop Oil guy stops the game for 15 minutes in the second half. Everton goes into 18 minutes of extra time tied 1-1. 8 minutes into extra time, Leeds wraps up a 3-0 win over Tottenham, and Leicester comfortably wins, putting Everton in a 3-way tie for 17th, but in 19th place because of tiebreakers. Everton has 10 minutes to find a goal, win the game, and lift themselves to 17th place.

I'm not saying those players shouldn't have moved. They were absolutely right to - in all cases.
But let's not pretend they all went on to scale heights far in excess of how they played with us - proving that it was only us holding them back. Winning FA Cups at Arsenal was a poor substitute for not winning the leagues they used to win under Wenger. Arteta might have won the Cup with us first in 2009 had he not missed the final through injury. My point? His playing career didn't exactly take off like a rocket post-Goodison. He traded respectable Everton for declining Wenger-era Arsenal. A step up? Yup. But he wasn't joining the elite.
Rooney most certainly was. He made a huge success of his career. But he was the best teenager in the world. It was no surprise he became the player he did (though plenty would argue he was never quite as thrilling at United as he was when he broke through for us).
Richarlison is, whisper it, not really top level. Some of us said it when he was here, and this season has proven the point neatly. He's far better than what we currently have - but you could say that about almost every other club's strikeforce right now.
Barkley? He crashed and burned post-Goodison.
Were they right to move? Undoubtedly. Bill Kenwight was never building a platform here for the truly ambitious. Thing is, in football, ambition usually exceeds talent. In the cases of Everton players, that is almost always the case. Why? Because, in most cases, we buy or develop players who are not too good for us. That's actually a huge failure in our recruitment and youth development processes.

Think this might be it apart from gray over Simms, he ain't going to feature.
Holgate right back if Godfrey not fit
