Relegation

[MikeH72]

I used to enjoy adding players whos contracts were expiring, so I could remove them.

But the people said no.

The worst bit is when you add loaned out players to the “culled” list, knowing full well they’re coming back.

 

[St James the Less]

UPDATED - further absentees:

Graham Taylor (dead), Elton John (retired, but might make another comeback), and the rest of the Watford squad (absolutely not arsed).

Watford fans! by the look of it.

 

[Amw79]

Nervous for tonight. If ours and Leeds results go the right way, then I think we’re safe (not mathematically I know), and we can put this nightmare season behind us.

Believe loads of blues have taken up seats in the home stands. Let’s hope that, like at Leicester, they can get us over the line. COYB.

 

[Simon Buttle]

I was thinking he had been fit for almost all of the season?

Featured in 25 games with 12 match starts, 2 goals, and 1 assist. He seems to be in and out an awful lot

 

[MikeH72]

Ismaila Sarr (knee), Emmanuel Dennis (knee), Joshua King (illness), Kiko Femenia (illness), Juraj Kucka (knee), Shaq Forde (ankle), Tom Cleverley (ribs) and Nicolas N'koulou (groin) join Imran Louza and Cucho Hernandez (hamstring) in the treatment room in the wake of their relegation-confirming defeat to Crystal Palace.

Additionally, Hassane Kamara will miss the match through suspension after picking up a red card in the 1-0 loss at Selhurst Park, while Kwadwo Baah is away on international duty with the German youth squad.

The footballing Gods are looking down on us. lol

We must go out to absolutely destroy them, that is half their first team.

It would be great to be ahead by more than 1 goal tonight if we can for a change, its only happened once in 3 months (v Leeds in Feb) since Norwich in September league wise

If you're a Burnley or Leeds fan you've got your head in your hands sobbing looking at that.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I want us to absolutely ravage them. Early goal, quickly followed up with a second and Watford are looking like a boxer whose legs have gone and are shaking like a pooing dog; Watford players almost pleading for mercy from our heroes in Blue.

Will accept a flukey 1-0 too like.

 

[davek]

I'm more arsed about the City game than this...that's how confident I am.

If we dont get any players sent off and it's 11 v 11 for 90 minutes I honestly dont see us losing this and in all probability we'll win it.

A point will get us 2 points clear of one or both Burnley/Leeds and set up a win against Brentford to seal it. A win will just about do it.

 

[Nymzee]

This game is a prime Everton eff up scenario.

After tonight:

 

[billyblue80]

Tonight is crucial it's our game in hand we have to take advantage.

 

[billyblue80]

This game is a prime Everton eff up scenario.

That's the worry but we have the momentum and the players finally seem to realise how key each match is.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Certainly don't want to have to depend on a win against Brentford. They are a dangerous opponent
