Everton have only lost 1 of their last 8 PL 'Home' games - we will be up against it. Have a walk before. It'll calm your urges.

I've looked at the next 6 games and really cannot see us averaging a point of game.If we do this would take us to 33 pts after 32 games and then we would probably need another 6/7 pts to survive so just about 1 point a game from the 6 games after that.In actual fact, we could well be in the bottom 3 after the next 6 games. Problem is we might well need over a point a game from the final 6 games and we could be in a situation where we will be 'Scared' by our results in the 6 games before that so we might not able to get the required points. Edited by Willo (04 Feb 2018 11.23pm) Willo, I've also looked at the League and seen we need 13 points from 12 games to get to the "magic" 40. And Roys target. I've also noted that your posting the same posts from last year,where you never expected us to get any points. In fact I think you did not expect one point today. So that's good, because you seem to get the results wrong. PS we are 5 points better of than at this stage last season. So after being 0 points from 7 games we seem to be improving.

Edited by Willo (04 Feb 2018 11.23pm) If you think a few bad results against top teams might scare [sic] us why don't you think 12 games in a row against teams in and around us without losing wouldn't galvanise us and give the confidence required to get the 10-12 points we need? Why do you think we'd necessarily be more likely to go down than any of the other teams from Watford down? Have you seen Brighton's fixtures? If they don't win the next 2 games I think they might be toast. Have you seen Huddersfield's last 4 games? They probably need 13/14 points from next 8. After next 3 Stoke have man City Everton arsenal and spurs in a row. In Newcastle's next 5 they have manure, spurs and Liverpool and they still have arsenal and Chelsea to play plus a few tricky away games to Leicester, Bournemouth and Everton. West Brom as we do have Chelsea, manure, Liverpool and spurs all to play. Watford still have 5 of the top 6 to play. I'd say only Swansea have easier fixtures than anyone else. I see no reason whatsoever to suggest that we should be considered more likely to go down than not. Up the Palace

According to the bookies there are 8 teams more likely to go down than us. Bookies take into account form, players, injuries, fixtures and managerial experience. Odds being offered are 10 to 1. If you are so confident we will be relegated stick a grand on and walk away eith ten. Stop talking common sense and not simply saying we're awful and getting relegated because we didn't win a game. 10 to 1 might be good emotional insurance but I think I'd be throwing my money away.

Up the Palace Trouble is, these other clubs look doomed on paper but can pull off miracle wins (just our luck). We have little confidence in ourselves to do that too. It's basically us saying - it's palace, we expect it to go pear shaped.

It's basically us saying - it's palace, we expect it to go pear shaped. There is little foundation to this pessimism. Remember our safety was secured last year thanks to wins and points against the top 6. Swansea have turned their season around thanks to wins against the top 6 this year. We have 4 games remaining against the top 6 this season, Newcastle and Brighton still have 5. It’s going to be an interesting ride, but as we sit here now, there is no reason to be any more pessimistic than anyone else.

Indeed. Willo you have already made that point more than once that is why you are attacked. Once is enough. 40 points this season will have you about 13th because of number of sides so close together and they have to play each other.

Since Roy took over we have averaged 1.28 points a game – and he started with three defeats if you remember. If we continue with this form until the end of the season, we’ll finish on 42 points.

Indeed. “Blimey” nearly the same as last year when we went and beat Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
