Relegation

[DaChunk]

Way too much time on my hands today so here's an Everton-related Smiths Top 10
1. Panic
2. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
3. This Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
4. Goal Afraid
5. Money Changes Absolutely Nothing
6. Still Ill (our myriad of missing players throughout the season)
7. Nowhere Fast
8. Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before (Seamus' regular post-match apologetic speech)
9. Unloveable
10. Miserable Lie (Carlo the snake's wish remain at the club for the stadium move

But remember, if the worst does occur, at least we're not bloody Kopites and "There is a light that never goes out".

Asleep would make a nice encore track.

Along with 'Park End in a Coma'

Pipped off this season but far too early to speak of relegation with Newcastle amongst others still to play, yes we have Burnley, Man Utd, Liverpool etc, but we need to keep pace and be positive, start with tomorrow, Watford, Burnley and Norwich have managed to pick points up but I feel a win tomorrow and at least matching the bottom 3 results we will be ok. Not great or fantastic but ok, let’s also hope Man City win the league over the red shites. Just my opinion .

you could swap this out for "Bigmouth Strikes Again"

Doesn't mean we own the league.

Pure arrogance.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

There is not a lot to be positive about at the moment and it looks like just getting a goal will be a struggle never mind winning a game. However, there are numerous examples in previous years where teams in a similar position or worse suddenly spring to life and get the required results to save themselves. Wigan, for example, in 2011-12 ended the season with 43 points (15th) but looked dead and buried until winning 7 of the last 9 games. Not saying Everton will do that but often even poor teams hit a run of form and pick up some points at the back end of the season. Hopefully Everton can do that. Just 3 or 4 wins could be sufficient. Is that too much to ask?

but cant the teams below us also do that?

 

[Wat Tyler]

So our next 3 league games are Newcastle (H), West Ham (A) and then Burnley (A)
Burnley next game is Man City (H)
Watford next league game is Liverpool (A)

This will take us to 29 games same as Burnley and 1 behind Watford.

Thats a good run for us, obviously they way we are playing right now is awful but if we can at least get 4 or 5 points minimum that's a good start as I can't see Watford and Burnley winning those fixtures.

The Burnley game will be even more vital depending on how we do in the 2 previous games.

I have hope, not a great amount but enough to see us survive but it will be close

This is a good post, it does demonstrate how important a win would be and make us feel a million times better, and make the league look a lot healthier. Just for once, it would be nice for these players to surprise us in a good way.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Watford and Burnley are definitely capable. I don’t think Leeds are anywhere near safe yet, and they have a nasty run in.

 

[APN_EFC]

It's crazy how low we are. Sometimes

It is nice
We are just so lucky that Burnley , Watford & Norwich have not put a winning run together like Newcastle did. I think Daniel Farke would have done it at Norwich somehow, changing the manager didn't help them, and luckily same for Watford, while Sean Dyche has temporarily lost that drive & energy with Burnley. The statistical average 36 points, and the magical 39 points to safety is gonna be much lower this year, maybe 32 even might keep us safe. low bar this year

 

[Ufotone]

Hopefully we can pick up some unexpected points

We are all wanting wins against teams we perhaps should be beating

The so called tougher matches can earn vital points too.

 

[Runub]

but cant the teams below us also do that?

In a word yes but winning 3 or 4 would be enough in my opinion

This team has set a horrible low bar.

We've been saying "all we have to do is beat (insert crap team name)" for months now. The only time we've won is against Leeds. We're awful and Newcastle are favourites against us tomorrow. We have the worst form in the league. 9 points in 20 games.

 

[mikel_88]

Does anyone believe this "Everton to show fans stories/views"? Who has been asked? When are they showing them? The game is tomorrow and I don't know of a single person who's been asked?

How would it even work, they could ask the fella 2 rows in front of me and get a very different opinion than mine. He kicked off at me in the last game asking "what more do I want" and that "we're playing well. It's all fine"

The fella behind me told us to stop being dramatic when we talk of relegation. I just can't see how it could possibly be true. Far too much effort and time involved.

Honestly dont care if they have and it works great. Been far too much talk from the team, is over now they must perform on the pitch. Just fed up of yeah us fans need to be counted and show the team support we all have give so much to this club. Is all on the players now every single one of them has to put 100 % in which they have not this season

If we can't win, then maybe we could manage a draw. Just drawing a few games and getting some points on the board would do us the world of good right now.
