My Dad's an Arsenal fan. If that final game for us is gonna be as massive as I think it will be, one of us will be in tears and for once I'd like to not say "Everton, that".

Even though it's actually possible, and we're kinda in form, you'll squash it before we get going? Could be 3 points closer at the weekend ya know mate.

All he has to do is win every game.

Should be easy for a "better" manager....shouldn't it....?

6 games remaining, max 18 points available, which would bring us to the magic number of......72 points.

Burnley H
West Ham A
Chelsea H
Swansea A
Watford H
Arsenal A

Can it be done? Put your money where your Everton is.

72 was not the magic. 2012-2013 we got 63. The fraud improved it by 9 points and there was the free fall thereafter.

Will break the GD+22 record and the most PL goals scored in a season record though. It's a myth the attacking play under Koeman is no better than 2013-2014 because we are going to score even more. It's better actually.

Not when Spurs and UTD haven't had to sack their manager. Also, not when you compare where Koeman found us compared to the position Martinez found us.

From 6th to 5th is worse than from 13th to 7th(minimum)

Stop pandering to the forum troll with this 72 points guff lads.

 

[MikeH72]

Remember the ones during Martinez's reign. Jesus H they were depressing.

Remember the "how close can we get to 50 points" one in 2015? My god, bleak, bleak times.

...to be honest, there was a time before Christmas where I'd have settled for what we have now. I'm chuffed with how we've progressed in the last few months. Long may it continue. Predicting football matches in this league is so unpredictable though.

One game at a time.

Palace vs Chelsea and Arsenal plus the RS against Swansea and Bournemouth amongst others are prime examples

No pal, feeling in my waters!

Kidney infection more than likely

Stop contextualising stuff.

It makes your point far too cogent and coherent.

Correct. It's ludicrous, we got champions league with 61 points and didn't with 72. The points total is only relative to that years competition.

72 was great, an exceptional season. 47 and 44 were not (as predicted)

...absolutely. And as @tommye hints, folk never learn that predicting Everton games is usually a major disappointment.

I can only assume the OP is a mere youth and has yet to be ground down by decades of disappointment and shattered dreams. Everton that. Ffs

That's nonsense Dave and you know it. Not every manager wins every game. Doesn't matter who they are. It's almost as if you don't like our Ronald...
