Quite, sir.
This has not been a great season by any stretch of the imagination, but nor has it been anywhere near the 93/94 or 97/98 situations.
Not even close.

No it's not. There were 6 teams who were doing worse than us. We were NEVER one of the worst 3 teams in the league. The fact you're referring to this so-called relegation battle in the past tense, when we have 7 games to go, really speaks volumes.
Think there needs to be a serious reckoning at the end of this season when we finish 9th. I'm talking Salem witch trials, a plotter-hunt to root out the negativity eating at the soul of GOT. First up to the stand @Ashtonian. BURN THE PLOTTERS
Not once this season have we been in a "Relegation fight".
Position has been worrying at time but a relegation fight is dropping in one week and battling out the next, rinse and repeat.

Like I said at the time, even if we'd kept up our worst form we'd have survived.
People vastly overestimated how good the other teams in this league are.

@Allezfan has already shown you one example at least.
Now be a good chap and hush up because @chicoazul has started Grand Old Teams "night of the long knives"....
We should ban suspected plotters. If they don't return as a multi, then they weren't plotters and we can post-humously exonerate them.

The whole 120 pages of this crap thread summed up in one post....
We were, just not a lost cause one like the Wimbledon/Coventry years. There's different types of relegation threats - like Moyes 2004 where we were actually safe with six games to go, but ended six points clear anyway despite not winning another game. It was still a relegation fight as we finished 17th.
Our run of form and points from the bottom three made it a realistic prospect before the Newcastle result. We were always around 15th in the form table for several months, last three games have jumped us to 8th and gave the league performance a gloss, but 3 points instead of 9 right now and we'd be staring at big trouble.

pretty sure it was only evertonians who seriously entered the prospect of relegation. tbf with 10 games left and we're only 3 points above then you can understand a few thinking like that. but that is still a quarter of the season left, there were a couple of murmurs in the media, but they will have gone now. except from bitter kopites living on hope.
It was hard work but thanks to a few good men it has happened. And it's ace.
Good old fashioned Saturday night GOT.

and 9 points instead of 3 in other games this season and we'd be around 8th for the season. No point talking about hypotheticals, it is what is.
