Relegation 2022/23

[JLW]

please mate please

You will have a great sleep tonight mate, as much as this club let us down i firmly believe we will do it today.

Be mad if anyone wanted to swop places.

Yep.

I mean, we're not safe by any stretch of the imagination. But to read some of the stuff on here you'd think we had a mountain to climb when, in reality, this requires a competent Everton performance and a player or two stepping up with a goal.

Remember my Dad consoling me as a kid at half time vs Wimbledon. Telling me don't worry son we will come straight back up. Don't think he believed we would pull off a miracle that day.

Glad my little ones too young to understand.

Only been following Everton for about 9 years now but as an American, I can remember those days of my favorite American Football team getting absolutely blown out in a game they were heavy favorites to win, so much that my family had bought tickets to what would be equivalent to a cup final. I was 7 years old and cried my eyes out. So now I'm older and find myself supporting Everton FC with a son of my own due in 8 weeks. I really hope we can stay up. Come on Everton!!

It's just the reality of the situation.

We start out today at about 70% to survive.

That can change in-game, for sure.

But you're not seriously telimng me you'd rather start off in Leicester or Leeds' shoes are you?

It’s often easier doing the chasing than being chased, psychologically. That is why many teams leading in title races end up losing. Look at Dortmund. Couldn’t handle the pressure.

There is pressure on Leicester but the expectation is still that they will go down. It is the same with Leeds.

The TV cameras will love an Everton slip up and all the build up will be about that. This final day is not a spectacle if we are 2-0 up after 20 minutes.

 

[Matelot]

Of all the six teams involved in the Everton, Leeds and Leicester games, I just hope that Leicester don’t score first. That news filtering through to Goodison would not help our cause.

I just hope either us or West Ham score first, just to settle the nerves a little.

 

[get-your-coat-on]

The closer it’s got to the game, the more I am cautiously optimistic about West Ham’s chances against Leicester.

Moyes’ comments about finishing above Chelsea and keeping the winning momentum going sounded like a man not interested in playing the kids to see out the fixtures. That is not an easy fixture at all for Leicester.

This. Inject this right into my bellend please

I haven't noticed Leeds or Leicester making much progress chasing Everton down since that Brighton result.

And therein lies the problem

I hope that is still the case at 6.30pm.

 

[davek]

And therein lies the problem

13 goals in the last 10 games...that's more than B'mouth, Leicester or Leeds have scored in their last 10 games.

 

[Tony101]

Hope Moyes goes strong and hands Leicester a beating.

8 in 9 taking away the anomaly result

 

[davek]

8 in 9 taking away the anomaly result

....ha ha ha...why on earth would you do that?

That's insane.

8 in 9 taking away the anomaly result

Lol you can't just take matches away especially ones where we've scored the most goals.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Going to bed. The game starts 1:30am down here. I'm sacrificing watching the Monaco GP live, so hopefully I'd have found out Fernando Alonso has won
