Why is anyone assuming they will get a points deduction at all?

Because they won't be able to pay a financial penalty.

There's no way on earth they send Everton down after the season is done and they believe they have survived. I honestly think that would be an appaling way to do it anyway.

If they don't there's little point in giving a deduction, the offence has helped them stay up.

The more appaling the better for me.

Likely to get 3/4 pts from final games meaning they end up on 35/36. 
 

Forest would need 3/4pts (worse goal difference). 
 

One of Leeds /Leicester are gonna need 6/7 pts from their last 3. 
 

Not looking good as it stands.

It helped them stay up last season too. The second they handed in their covid losses they should of been deducted points.

They may not be penalized at all.

I don't see how Everton get penalised in any way when City are also under threat, for more charges and over a longer period.

 

[Captain Turdseye]

I’m genuinely gutted about that last night. 
 

I thought it was their year. Fuckin’ Brighton. Last year it was Arsenal and Chelsea that rolled over for them.

Exactly, let them all celebrate like mad and carry the players aloft off the pitch in their last game. Then get Rafa up on the big screen making an announcement on behalf of the Premier League. ‘10 point deduction , immediate effect, ‘ then smirk and stick 2 fingers up to the camera.

Yep.
 

I think any points deductions would be strategically deployed - in City’s case when it would affect neither the destination of the title nor deny them a top four finish and Everton’s when the deduction wouldn’t relegated them.

I suppose even when they win they help us out - takes away Brighton's chance of overtaking Liverpool once they play their two extra games.

 

If, and I know it's a big if, we scrape top 4, and Brighton win the rest of their games it'll be thanks to the shite we get into the CL. That's outstanding.

Just overheard a few Everton fans whilst picking the kids up from school. They are absolutely joyous and think they are brilliant again.

 

They never learn. Ever.

Didn't see that coming yesterday. It was my birthday and whilst I'd stop short of saying it ruined it, well it certainly put a dent in it! Such are the fine margins at the bottom that I can't see them going now - it's not impossible but I had them getting a maximum of four points from their remaining games and that likely leaving them short. Now - I can't see them failing to beat Bournemouth, unfortunately, as well as a possible point at Wolves, so they'll likely get six or seven instead of three or four and I can't see that not being enough. Last night was supposed to be a total write-off and they've got their biggest win of the season instead. The morale swing will be incredible.

 

It's probably the most Everton thing to happen though. Pressure has been building on Dyche but in one balmy night he's cemented himself into bitter folklore - for now at least. And next season, points deduction to one side, he'll keep them safe - but as always their rush to crown a new messiah will probably backfire. Eventually the results and mid-table safety won't be enough to excuse Dyche's "unEvertonian" style of football and they'll march on his house with the pitchforks out, clammering for his exit. Bill and Mosh will panic, and yet another manager will depart USM Finch Farm with a hefty severance for him and his staff, and another, more progressive manager will come in and start clearing Dyche's bargain basement yard dogs out for peanuts and the cycle will start again.

Was on the bus before and some fella in full Everton tracky with an Everton rucksack on the seat opposite so everyone could see. Someone phoned him. You'll never guess what his ringtone was that he left going for 10 seconds before answering.

They are like all those teenage kids that sell and smoke weed. They all dress the same,North Face Black Jackets and often ride a bike. They stick out like sore thumbs. They are sad bastards.

[Turkish Delight]

It would be peak Everton to win like that at Brighton and lose their last three games. There's still hope.

Funnily enough I have seen a few people wearing Everton gear whilst out and about today. Can't think why

Punching the air with pride no doubt.

It was my birthday yesterday too and that result did disappoint, a bit like expecting a boss prezzie and getting a 'it's been ordered but It's on a waitlist'.

It's not over yet though. 

There's still a chance that we could get top 4 and they could still go down.

I'll keep on believing until it's mathematically impossible.

 

Happy birthday for yesterday mate.
