Relegation

[GoldenToffee]

7/1 now, and even stranger they have us evens to beat Palace. Palace are nearly 3/1, amazing value

Might put £100 on relegation, but should really have done it yesterday at 1-0 when it was about 50-1 or something. Would happily pay a few hundred right now to see us stay up, and the windfall would sooth the heartbreaking pain if we do go down.

A lot has to happen for us to go down. We have to fail to get two more points, or Leeds have to win at Brentford, or Burnley have to collect two points more than us over our remaining two games. If we’d been offered this position (beat Palace to survive) 15 days ago we’d have snatched it.

It's the immediacy of things now that are driving anxieties. I'm not really adjusted to the real prospect of relegation as an imminent possibility. At least we'll know in under a week.

The board must think all of their Christmases have come at once that our final game of the season is not at Goodison. If we are losing at half time against Palace I fully expect to see no sign of Kenwright at the ground on Thursday.

Always got to be done the hard way.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

It's simple: if they get beat on Thursday and we daw they have to beat Newcastle. That is a dramatic difference.

I see Thursday as our Cup Final now....last day of the season, every chance Burnley beat Newcastle at home...will be tougher for Leeds, but they are fighting which might just be enough on the day

We cant risk going to Arsenal needing a result Sunday, they need the win as much as we will...Palace game HAS to be 3 points

What makes this end of season worse is the fact kenwright showed his face ONLY when we were on a good run again.

No sign of him for weeks when the writing seemed to be on the wall. Win a couple and back at the game he goes.

I still think this, only 3 points away at Brentford saves Leeds, regardless of what we do, we can lose twice and still stay up

If Burnley lose on Thursday, they have to beat Newcastle regardless of any point we get*

Their GD means they go above us.

It means IMO, a point is a waste of time for Everton on Thursday.


*Unless Burnley lose like 6 or 7-0.

Yeah but so what, how does this affect the points, the ref, the wasted opportunity to score, it doesn't make any difference to our plight, where's Moshiri?

Ultimately the worst 3 teams over the season get relegated. If we are in that group we deserve to go. We can cry about penalties not given and refs being terrible and media being bias but it doesn’t matter a jot. Worst 3 teams go down

 

[Saint Domingo]

We got 2 pens at Burnley, a pretty soft one against Brighton and one yesterday. Lost all 3 games.

Getting pens that are pens isn’t a sign of refs evening it up.

The pen yesterday without the second yellow is almost worthless. It was a clear pen but the ref didn’t give the second yellow that would have evened the game up.

If you think we’ve had our fair crack of the whip in terms of refereeing decisions this season then fair enough but it strongly disagree with you

 

[USABlue]

Checked my betting app and $5 on palace/leeds/burnley pays out $204...

 

[MACCA75]

I think the most ‘Everton’ way of being relegated is being safe for 94 minutes on the last day, and then Leeds or Arsenal scoring with the last kick.
So I’m fully expecting that to happen.

We clearly haven’t but this team have absolutely looked like a relegation outfit regardless.
