Whilst they're all on the same points, just a cursory look at the games will show the true difference. I actually think of the bottom 4 right now, you can make a great case for Wolves and Bournemouth pulling away comfortably compared to the others. Even Sheff U, despite conceding, show a capability to score goals. Everton for their part look defensively frail and attacking wise, useless.
Exactly mate.... they thought they'd be queuing up to buy their club and now they've realised they've chased out a guy who's put in huge amounts of cash. They should be grateful for the new stadium and the attempt made but no they've been ungrateful and demanding to be successful.
Lost to Luton at home ... New quiz question - who were Luton's opponents when they won their first PL game ?
Yeah the relegation battle is heating up. That was their chance to create some space. Look at the bottom six. Nice to see Chelsea in there too.
Even with a minus 12 Everton will survive. The bottom three right now are ****ing atrocious, embarrassment to the Championship
Not sure about that, I think Burnley and Bournemouth will get to 30, maybe even 35 points. Not convinced Everton will get more than 40, they've had a nice enough run of fixtures and are still under a point a game. Their next 10 games are: West Ham (A) Brighton (H) Palace (A) Man U (H) Forest (A) Newcastle (H) Chelsea (H) Burnley (A) Tottenham (A) Man City (H) I'd make them second favourite in every single one of those and whilst they clearly aren't going to lose all ten of them. They've had 5 home games including Bournemouth, Luton, Wolves and Fulham and only got one positive result.
I was like "You'd put them SECOND favourite?!" for a minute there and then realised that there's only two teams in a game.
Be amazed if they got 12 points, think they'll get 6 - will still put them 19th but only 4 points from Luton. Be interesting to see how long it takes to decide something like that. They have a really tough run coming up though so they could be cut adrift by the halfway point if they do get the full 12 point deduction. Starting on minus 5 points a quarter of the way through the season would be a horrendous situation for them and I'm not sure they'd be out of the minus points by the time Xmas rolled around....
