[davek]

6 goals in 9 games at home under Dyche
Not scored twice at home since his arrival

Its going to be a slog

A slog? You already have us as relegated. Where does the slog come into it for you?

You’ve struggled with this concept for a while now

You’ve struggled with this concept for a while now

Only one thing I struggle with: why you keep posting in a relegation thread when you've declared us relegated for months.

The concept of something changing in the span of 8 weeks? He is struggling with that quite a bit I see.

Again, struggling with the concept.

It’s like you’re trying solve a riddle you don’t understand. Instead of admitting defeat you belligerently carry on.

You're another one who relegated us. No wonder you're backing him up.

If only you two would hold your hands up and say you got it wrong months ago when you washed your hands of the team then maybe you'd have some credibility in this thread.

There's no sort of team to be had in this squad that can get us the points we require to get safe.

There isn't a person of sound mind who'd disgree with that statement.

I have absolutely no problem admitting I got it wrong. I didn’t forecast us destroying Brighton away from home, if you did then absolute fair play to you. I thought we’d be down by today, I got it wrong, no issues here.

Fair enough mate.

 

[ToffeeTim]

A couple of months ago I would have been happy with the win and safe scenario. So we have to be positive about our chances and relish the opportunity to take care of our own business. But its going to be a long day with a lot of nervous energy and anxiety

We had opportunities to have the job done already. Another 2 points would have done it, one more win. Let's hope we dont rue that.

So months ago? Are you saying you got it wrong Dave?

Everton's Survival Bid Mirrors the Fighting Spirit of Orcas

In the realm of sports, football has a remarkable way of bringing people together, fueling their passion and inspiring them to overcome insurmountable odds. This season, Everton Football Club finds itself in a gripping battle for survival in the Premier League. But beyond the realm of sport, there exists a parallel struggle, as nature's majestic orcas have recently displayed their awe-inspiring teamwork and fighting spirit off the shores of Portugal and Spain. Remarkably, the synergy between Everton's quest for survival and the orcas' fight for their own existence shares uncanny similarities. Let us delve into the depths of this intriguing correlation.

Everton's Predicament: A Battle for Survival Everton, a club steeped in history and tradition, is currently embroiled in a fierce struggle to remain in the top flight of English football. The team has endured a tumultuous season, marred by injuries, inconsistent performances, and a lack of cohesion on the pitch. Sitting precariously in the relegation zone, Everton's players and fans alike are acutely aware that the stakes couldn't be higher.

The Orcas' Plight: A Fight for Existence Meanwhile, in the vast expanses of the Atlantic Ocean, a pod of orcas has been navigating treacherous waters in their own desperate fight for survival. Driven by a shared determination, these magnificent creatures have been defying the odds, facing numerous challenges, and drawing strength from their unified purpose.

The Power of Teamwork: In both Everton's struggle and the orcas' battle, the power of teamwork is at the forefront. Everton's success hinges on the collective efforts of their players, who must rally together, communicate effectively, and synchronize their movements to overcome adversity. Similarly, orcas employ extraordinary cooperation and coordination to tackle threats and secure their survival. Their synchronized hunting strategies and harmonic communication exemplify the strength that comes from a united front.

Adaptability: A Key Trait Adaptability is a vital trait in any fight for survival, be it on the football pitch or in the wild oceans. Everton's manager and players have had to adapt their tactics, formations, and strategies throughout the season to counter different opponents. Similarly, orcas exhibit exceptional adaptability by adjusting their hunting techniques to changing environmental conditions, ensuring their continued existence.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Resilience lies at the heart of Everton's battle for survival and the orcas' fight for existence. Everton's players have demonstrated an unyielding spirit, bouncing back from setbacks, and showcasing unwavering determination to secure crucial points. The orcas' resilience shines through in their constant struggle against threats such as climate change, habitat loss, and human activities that pose grave dangers to their existence. Their unwavering spirit symbolizes the strength found in the face of adversity.

As Everton strives to overcome the challenges that stand in their path to survival, they can draw inspiration from the remarkable display of teamwork, adaptability, and resilience exhibited by the orcas off the shores of Portugal and Spain. Just as these majestic creatures have come together to fight for their existence, Everton must unite as a team, summon their fighting spirit, and rally towards a common goal. The parallels between the struggles faced by Everton and the orcas remind us of the indomitable spirit of nature and the unifying power of sport.

I can only see another relegation battle next year (if this one is won).

Also thank you @ those perennial bottle jobs at Arsenal for letting forest off the hook.
