Relegation

[blueblue]

This seems like the longest season ever already and we still have more than a quarter of the season to play.

We have less than a quarter to play mate.

Doesn’t that feel true. It’s been going on forever. Though to be fair our season is normally effectively over by the 10 games left stage, so that plays a role.

The Pain of the Benitez years over the first half of the season was intolerable. Its one thing to see an Everton manager failing misserably - you can still get behind them but watching Benitez dismantle the club infrastructure and sell our best players to support his massive ego was like a slow daily torture. Franks shortlived honeymoon didn't lift the gloom and now the spectre of relegation on all our collective shoulders is making each and every day/game seem to last an eternity. Is this what life would be like in the championship next year? constantly hoping to climb the table back into the prem and constantly being frustrated by the Rotherham's of the world.

 

[Richard Alex]

Just don't watch it then? I don't get this whole thing of not looking forward to watching it, just simply don't. It won't make any difference to the result and you might feel better

Been thinking of jibbing it off for a while now anyway after 47 years of ups and downs
You have a point

Which will be one more point than Everton wins tonight. Enjoy your break from sadness. We will block your account for a month and see how you go mate.

We have less than a quarter to play mate.

We don't.

masterchef tonight

 

[BlueStevie35]

If we win tonight we will still go down.

We’ll be 7 clear of Burnley with a win, 6 ahead of Watford and have a better GD, that could be 7/8 points or better if we get something from United on Saturday

But we will lose tonight!

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Beers are in, cos I ain't watching this sober. An absolute must win, imo. God help us if we lose this, although I doubt he could.

Not a benitez fan at all but is far too easy to blame him for this mess the club is in. No matter what happens this season i hope this is the start of this set of players leaving the squad and bringing in a new set with a better culture and attitude into the team

 

[DL100]

Do you think supporters of teams bar the top 4-5 would be bothered about relegation if it didn’t have so many financial implications?

Most clubs in the Prem including us just make up the numbers every year.

 

[Blueclouds]

Tonight is our relegation battle. 3 points is a must. I'm concerned that the players don't care enough or put their body on the lines and some are already eyeing up a move in the summer.
