It was a massive stroke of LUCK that recent Everton player Cleverly, managed to physically fight off Richarlison, to take the penalty the Brazilian had won, only to SMASH it five yards wide of the post, yes.

With Cleverley being a former Everton player too. Hmmm . .

Yep, it really messed up with Bob Paisley too.....and, at our club, with Peter Taylor the first.

All that matters to me, is that we survive. We are all crowing now because we are in the top half of the table, but there is still three quarters of the season to go. and our last few games have been against some of the 'easier' teams. Let's face it we aren't going to finish 8th. Call me negative but survival really has to be what it's all about this season.
I got mildly angry when someone on here the other day was talking about us getting into Europe. They need a reality check.;

So true and I agree 100%. We must just pick up points as and when they present themselves.
More likely to be Bournemouth than Southampton.

They'll have sacked him before theyget relegated, maybe try to get BFS in if he doesn't go to Everton. If not, maybe Harry is available...

Said that on Sunday, looked a tad suspicious, like 1994 all over again with Hans Segers

My top relegation choice is: not us.
Past that, if I am given a vote on it, I will choose:
1. Palace
2. Plucky
3. Whatever team David Wagner is managing

The beauty of this game is rivalry, take those 3 out of the equation and you are looking at Arsenal , Chelsea, Spurs etc. I know which games I would rather watch any day.
How people want to eliminate those clubs from the same league as us, I fail to understand. Probably the 3 most games I would want to see.

Really can't see Palace or Bmuff dropping, no idea who will though just yet, too early still.

Are you saying you would rather watch a substandard Bournemouth Southampton and Palace in preference to the class.,skill and individuals of Arsenal Chelsea and Spurs?

Perhaps this is why Nathan Jones didn’t get the job after Hyypia?

Having seen Southampton rather more than I'd like this season (ie at all), I'm reasonably sure that my tip that they're a relegation outsider is accurate. Their manager seems to have no discernible plan for scoring goals, their midfield is pedestrian, the goalkeeper is suspect and they have too many bang average players. If anything happens to Steven Davis, I think they could sink quickly.
Unfortunately I think Palace will get out of it. Sakho, sadly, is a decent defender and when Benteke gets back from injury Zahaha might find someone on the end of those low crosses in front of goal like the one against Spurs at Wembley.
What's that you say? A shot?!??

For what it’s worth, i’m convinced Palace will stay up. Sahko, Zaha, Bentecke and Loftus-cheek are on another level to the players at the likes of Swansea

14-1 still available on Saints to be relegated. Really don't understand that.

I really have no preference to who will be relegated......as long as it's not us

Palace and who cares as long as its not us?
Reality? I think this is one of the most open relegation battles I can remember. You can make a case for everyone up to Burnley. Palace statistically are dead men walking but you look at their team and how truncated the division is and they can get out of it (please God no)
I think the next few weeks to Christmas will be crucial. We have some tough games while the pikeys have some easier ones. If we can keep close to the point a game target by Jan I think we'll be a good shape to stay up. If Palace don't close the gap significantly or escape the relegation zone in that time they are doomed... Fingers crossed.
