If Burnley need it, I think they'll beat us 1-0.

 

I think Everton will be down before the final day.

 

The sooner the better

 

Think this weekend is the big decider - Everton lose and Burnley win creates a 5 point gap and Everton on worse goal difference - 2 wins behind Burnley

 

Just looking at the table and noticing that more than 34 points will be required.

 

I can see Burnley getting 37 points with a win against Watford and a win in one of the Vila games, maybe 40 points if we slack off on the last day of the season too.

What would people prefer, us finishing top half or Everton getting relegated? I'd like both obvs, but would be fine with 11th or 12th if Everton go down.

 

Highest possible finish for the Toon with as many points as possible. If Everton stay up we smash them next season due to their FFP problems anyway and that will be loads of fun in itself

 

I say get rid of Everton while the opportunity is there.

 

Everton
Chelsea (H) lose
Leicester (A) - lose

Palace (H) - draw
Arsenal (A) - lose

Burnley

Watford (A) - win
Villa (H) - win

Villa (A) - draw
Newcastle (H) draw

 

I think Leeds might be in trouble also and I think one of them will get a big result somewhere

 

I mean villa were down but goal line technology failed to keep them up..

 

Leeds looking very different these days - 11 points from the last 5 games, they've got momentum. They'll lose to Citeh, but get at least another 4 points which will put them on 38 points min.

 

The next 2 or 3 fixtures should make things look clear.

 

Leeds next 3 games are Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea. That's a tough run of games at this stage of the season.

 

Everton
Chelsea (H) - Draw
Leicester (A) - Draw

Brentford (H) - Win
Palace (H) - Win
Arsenal (A) - Lose

Burnley
Watford (A) - Lose
Villa (H) - Win
Spurs (A) - Lose
Villa (A) - Lose
Newcastle (H) - Win

 

I think the club should have a retro week in the build up to the Burnley game. Allow Steve Bruce to take training and Joe Kinnear to manage on the side lines with the u13's girl's team making history and the PIF shutting everyone in the media up about how they have backwards thoughts on women.

 

Leeds n Burnley grabbing draws will be enough to send Everton down I think.

How many chances have the Toffees had to turn it around now?

Theyre just a bad team, who cant win games.
