Ppl way over rate this league, we were by far the worse team last season and stayed up, Leicester won the thing a few years back. All we need is 1-2 players who are due to hit their prime and top 6 is achievable

 

 

Thing is, Leicester didn’t win the league because a couple of bad players had good seasons. The foundations came when they bought some brilliant players like Vardy, Mahrez and Kante for peanuts. 
If they identified that scout, got him in, and followed his advice, they’d be on the right track. Unless they instead identified that scout, got him in, and ignored his advice - missing out on cheap deals for Haaland, Robbo and (no giggling at the back) Maguire.

Spot on that. They run the club like a Turkish restaurant. That one has big plates, they're busy, get big plates. That one has plastic plants, they're busy, buy plastic plants.

No, just serve good consistent food.

It's "what the everton board do"

Double post.

I reckon they finish this season less precariously than last season. They'll be safe, turgid but safe.

Dyche isn't Bald though is he, he just shaves his head because he's ginger.

You’re likely, unfortunately, right. I will point out that they’ve  it got the most daunting of starts, so it could turn nasty quite quickly.

 

Fulham H - Lost

Villa A - Hammered

 

Now they’ve got…

 

Wolves - H

Sheff Utd - A

 

Intentional break

 

Arsenal - H

Brentford - A

Luton - H

Bournemouth - H

 

Then they are at Anfield after the next break. 

Woodison, as usual, will be what saves them. They need points from those homes games and Sheff Utd away.
 

I think them coming to Anfield on 8 points would be considered positive. 

[Bjornebye]

Have they started calling Dyche a Kopite cunt yet? 

[Section_31]

I genuinely reckon Merseyside Police have got an action plan for if and when they go down.

100%. All leave cancelled. County Road will get a well overdue facelift to be fair. 

[Pidge]

Escorting the players and club reps safely away from the ground, I assume.

[Section_31]

"Roadblocks, fireworks being fired at hotels, directors being escorted home, online racism, a boycott of Father Christmas, how are you gonna handle it?"

 

"I dunno, I was thinking about legalising being shite."

Yeah but we fired an Exocet at the liver building and blew it up

I'd be worried to go out incase all the Evertonian Internet hardmen decide to throw every Kopite they see through a window in town.

Every signing who leaves Everton must feel like Charlie Sheen at the end of Platoon.

Eight points… would be both quite good (two wins, two draws and two defeats; or else one win and five draws) but also kind of rubbish. 
Assuming Arsenal and Brentford are going to turn them over, then that’s the two promoted sides who everyone is convinced will go down, a Wolves team which has been dismantled, and a Bournemouth side who are just making up the numbers until they get flushed again. These are games where they need to be aiming for wins.

It would help if Arsenal and Chelsea didn't do their usual no shows at the pit.

 

Think i saw arsenal haven't won there since 2017 and chelsea only once in same timeframe.

 

[Anubis]

Surely it would be North Wales police with the contingency plan?
