Relegation

[Leylo]

Wheels fell off wolves, Newcastle most of all love to batter them, these are the ones, same attitude to city game will do them home support behind them like which will be there I have no doubt ?

You are the one who said you’d rather have points.

So do you think Leeds or Everton are in a better position right now, in terms of points/games played.

Simple question really.

Well I didn’t, you are leaping a touch. I think Everton are in a better position because of the quality of the squad compared to Leeds who have lost their 3 best players and have been playing Dan James as a centre forward for weeks. They won’t be so open anymore though which isn’t good for us. I’m also taking the fixtures left in to consideration, it’s hard to see many points coming from the away fixtures and I’ve seen too many games where when the pressure is on Everton to get a result they will contrive to be awful.

I expected us to be in the bottom 3 this weekend so results could definitely have been worse. We need to get some results now this month. A point on Monday takes us up another place above Leeds so that has to be the target. Home games are still going to probably be what determines our fate.

Thanks for the update Einstein.

You have no idea who you are dealing with.

 

[Khalekan]

We'll agree to differ on that one. I aged 30 years that day.

In fact, if it wasn't for that match I would only be 37 now.

?

 

[Khalekan]

Hopefully Wolves are running out of steam now, just in time for their visit next weekend.

Yeah, I do.

 

[MACCA75]

We need to get 5 points from our next 4 games and then match Brentford for the run in. I worry about us doing the first bit tbh.

 

[Miss blue beard]

Some great results for us today. Think we will worm our way out this season.
Dont want to think about next year.

 

[JohnRoss23]

I know it is hard to believe but I fully expect this team to go on a little run of their own. Let's just hope it starts on Monday..

 

[Khalekan]

Watford and Palace home games postponed.

They will be played midweek under the lights now.

I think that will be to our advantage.

It didn't excite me, it made me very sad and quite nauseous, one of the least enjoyable games in nearly 60 years watching the blues. The only good thing about it was the result.

I just felt huge relief after the Wimbledon game but the feeling after the Coventry game was different it was more pure anger.
On reflection I think I would prefer to go back to winning things and being the best team in Europe. I have been going the match since late 63 and have only seen Everton end up with a trophy in six of those seasons and I suppose I am one of the lucky ones.

I started going just one year before you, so, obviously, I saw us win one more trophy, the league title 62-63. Yes we are lucky to have seen those trophies 4 league titles, 3 FA cups and a cup winners cup being won and I feel sorry for younger blues who have never seen us win anything. If you offered me the 'excitement' of a relegation battle or the boredom of mid table, I'll take the boredom of mid table every time.

You never know mate, this may be our year in the cup, however, if it's a choice between getting ourselves out of this relegation battle or winning the cup, I'll take getting safe every time. I really wouldn't want to emulate Wigan under Martinez.

I was at the Fulham game in 63
At my age now mid table mediocrity and getting knocked out of the cup in early rounds is the best outcome
No tears no fears
Too much excitement is dangerous for our health
