Everton

2 down at West Ham and look at the next 9 fixtures. Might just be the year many of us have waited for for so long

Everton in the championship would be hillarious. Come on down ye toffees, come on down

Yes please especially in their lovely new stadium! I’d love them to go bang! Given that they’ll only have one season to get back up or the FFP will kill them should they go down!

[Satriales 994]

Doesn't look good for them at all. Oh well.

[How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,331]

If Everton are still in danger of relegation going into the last match of the season, I'm sure they will find a way to survive....

[The Real Buh 3,765]

You are never too big to get relegated

They’ve looked “Sunderland-esque” for years

It seems once you’ve hit the edge of that black hole you can run but you can’t hide.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Everton and Birmingham fans are revolting...

👍👍👍

[Michael Starr 571]

Don't worry. Mike Walker is on standby to save them

[Mello Yello 2,572]

I think the toffees will put Big Dunc Ferguson in as temp manager.....Can't see their fan's flagging him down in his car outside Goodison and being threatening or giving him a mouthful to his face....

Well I for one don't want Everton to get relegated as they'd likely walk this division and we could still be in it, only a 25% chance of getting through the play-offs after all.

Didn't miss out on much when Fat Frank turned us down though did we. 

[TeemuVanBasten 3,328]

Everton being bottom is a welcome distraction for Klopp.

He'd be under a lot more pressure being 8th in the league behind Brighton and Fulham if Liverpool fans weren't enjoying Everton's demise so much.

[Capt. Pants 5,013]

Lampard will get the sack but the rot is from the top at Everton.

Liverpool will struggle to make the Thursday Night Out Europa League at this rate.

Only 8 pts between bottom and 12th. It was that many between us and 19th last season 🤣

Forest starting to edge away from the drop zone.

I know Il be in the minority but I personally think itl be a sad day if/when they are relegated. One of the genuine big clubs with a proud history and the "School of Science" etc.. for that to be replaced by a nothing club like potentially Blackburn or Boro, I dont think thats great at all.

Definitely in the minority there. The ‘big club’ attitude that some have that seems to think they are immune from relegation is rather sickening.

Just don't let Ken Brown go for a walk on Hemsby beach.

Quite - and for all their proud history Everton have been a 'nothing club' for at least a decade. Really hard to see what they bring to the PL at the moment. They absolutely deserve to go down.

[The Raptor 1,573]

Would be funny to see them go down. Just for the arrogant, big club mentality of their fans. 

Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Swansea, Portsmouth, Wigan. Some of the teams that have won something major since they last did. I doubt any of their fans claim those are big clubs. 

They've done nothing for years and seem to have been badly run. Almost every other team have been relegated. It's just their turn and it's long overdue.

I think the board will realise that lampard isn't a manager and never has been, sack him and they'll get out of trouble tho.

Blackburn won the Prem and they're a "nothing club"?

@ Spillay

Founder member of the Football League

6 x winners of the FA Cup

3 x winners of First Div/PL

1x winners of Charity Shield.

6 x in Europe

Hardly "nothing."  To be fair, most of those successes were in the distant (very) past.

When Jack Walker bought them the league title in 2000/01 it was probably the first example of money being used to buy success (eg Alan Shearer @ £3m+ a record then.)

Admittedly, they have done 'nothing' since, and we have to hope that this season they will not continue to be a threat.

If you think buying a trophy and thus beginning the whole cycle of why football is being ruined by money is somehow an achievement.. okie dokie!

As you said all of those in the very distant past.  I agree Everton obviously have done nothing themselves for a while now but you also have to remember they have been in the top flight over 70 years, thats pretty good going dont you think?

[Danke bitte 1,155]

Sometimes I wonder about Everton but then I remember AI has all the answers.

So I asked it about Everton’s current woe and it came up with the following…

Don’t you mean 94/95?

I vividly remember the day they beat Wimbledon on the last day to stay up. The Sports Report commentator said it was a strange match that he found difficult to explain......

Yes, of course    ........ should have read wiki properly.

Walker was much earlier.

 

They won the League Cup in 2000/01, and they have done nothing much since.

Thanks.

And presumably money had nothing to do with that. It’s not as though they are embroiled in a tax avoiding financial mess and have been for years. By the way are you backing Old Etonians to win the FA cup, as they did in the 19th century?

Yep, dodgy as duck.

If their murky financial dealings don't tarnish their 'glorious distant past' then a much deserved relegation won't. 

Hope they crash and burn and join the binners in the third division.

Sadly they are now under investigation by the FA for alleged undeclared under the counter payments to star striker Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson...

If Everton are relegated their fans will be an utter menace everywhere they travel next season.
