1960maaan Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Though I have a soft spot for Everton, I was looking forward to a potential trip there next year. Not so sure now, had them to pick up about 4 points until the end of the season, done better than that already. You'd normally say the teams are down there because they can't win games, but Burnley and Everton have turned that around recently. I think I agree @ExiledAjax Leeds look lost ATM, they seem favourites to me. What I didn't realise is that there are still so many games to play, season ends on the 22nd of May. From where they are, I don't see many away wins, so Everton have 2 home games (3 away) , Brentford & Palace. Burnley play Villa & Newcastle home Leeds play Chelsea & Brighton home think it will be down to Burnley & Leeds on the last day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally if I had to pick one (and I think it's really too tight to do so) then I'd still go with Everton...just. I do think it'll go to the final day though.

I'm the worst judge in the World, but from the last few games I've seen. Everton look like they are right up for the fight, may be different against lesser teams who knows. Burnley also look to have an edge and a goal threat now. Leeds look totally lost, a disorganised mess. Gives us some interest until the end of the month though. Along with the Playoffs I guess.

I don't feel like there's been enough praise for that save across the goal line? Outstanding save There's no question PIckford is England's number one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the table a couple of weeks ago and thought Leeds could get dragged into the drop zone. Tricky run of games. If it's not Everton then Leeds would be great to go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said Chelsea were ordinary and a team player for player that much better than Everton shouldn’t be worrying about Kevin Friend imo. It would be funny if Arsenal and Spurs both overtook them….. Can’t argue Pickford was on fire - after what he did to van Dyke he should be on the fire - hard to forgive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Everton did a Leeds by getting players sent off. Two straight reds at Goodison so they’ll both be done for the season. Toss up between them Burnley and Leeds for relegation. Whichever club comes down they’ll be serious competition just as Fulham and B’muff were.

This was my response to @dave36 when he claimed “Chelsea never stood a chance” in their game vs Everton because of refereeing decisions and he also claimed that referees had been told that “relegation for historic clubs is to be avoided” - my response above is self explanatory - but to the list of ‘historic’ clubs who’ve been relegated from the ‘premier league’ I could add Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Wolves - yet Dave’s complete lack of response to defend his ‘position’ is so typical of some posters on here - they make outrageous allegations and claims then when someone replies they go missing, they run away and refuse to reply and join the debate - it’s very disappointing and a little bit sad ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturny Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Unpopular opinion but I reckon Pickford should still play for England. People enjoying shiiiting on him, and sometimes watching him in an Everton shirt it can sometimes be valid. But in an England shirt he's a different player. We couldn't of asked for more in the Euros from him really. I also quite enjoy seeing him shout at Maguire.

The Batman Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Just a quick one from those who were around at the time. Not sure if it's been covered in this thread or I've asked it before on others. Just how good were the mid 80's Everton team? I know in the footballing world, they say they would have won the European Cup had it not been for the ban on English teams, but is that people looking back with huge nostalgia or were they really that top a side in comparison to what else was out there at the time?
