    I don't care what any of the outsiders say the decisions newcastle have been denied this season entered in to a whole new realm of corruption

    Leeds (33 points from 32 games) - Palace*, City, Arsenal*, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford*
    Everton (29 points from 31 games) - Liverpool*, Chelsea, Leicester*, (Watford*), Brentford, Palace, Arsenal*
    Burnley 28 points from 32 games) - Wolves, Watford*, Villa, Spurs*, Villa*, Newcastle

    Super tight between those two and I think it'll come down to the final day. Burnley have a significantly easier run in and we could be on "holiday" by the time we meet them in the last fixture while Arsenal could (will) be playing for top 4. Don't count Leeds out just yet either, only 5 points clear of Burnley but their run in isn't much easier than Everton's.

    Everton are strong at home. I think they'll win 3 of their home games and be safe. I have a feeling they'll beat Chelsea, but if not, Brentford and Palace at home are must win games.

    How many points do you think they'll pick up? I can't see them getting more than 1 from the next 3 games and after that maybe 4-7 out of their last games! I could see Burnley getting that in their next 3 games tbh and then us and Villa to finish off the season maybe another 2-4 points. Think the toffees are in a world of pain atm.

    Everton (29 points from 31 games) - Liverpool*, Chelsea, Leicester*, (Watford*), Brentford, Palace, Arsenal* -

    They'll lose to Liverpool, Leicester, Arsenal away. I think they'll draw at Watford and maybe Chelsea, but it wouldn't surprise me if they beat Chelsea at home. They'll probably beat Palace and Brentford at home I think, but then again Brentford look better now.

    I see Everton getting 7-9 points.

    Burnley 28 points from 32 games) - Wolves, Watford*, Villa, Spurs*, Villa*, Newcastle

    Burnley it's difficult, who knows what burnley will show up?

    If they play like they did yesterday, then I say they'll beat Wolves, Villa at home. Watford away they could win. If they really need a win vs Us they could probably get it. Villa away another potential win.

    I think Burnley could get a result from everyone game besides maybe sprus.

    I just have a feeling that Everton will have enough at home to save themselves.

    I think both of them could get 3 wins from their games easily.

    Burnley have got to go on a run.. Their next 3 are easier than Everton's, but they will need a lead after that to hold onto imo

    Agreed Burnley you never know which is turning up. I just think Burnley know they are in a scrap and their players know the battle, think they will be giving blood sweat and tears to get the points and retain their place in the EPL as they probably don't get a move to play in the league if they don't stay there! Whereas Everton's players I can't see that fight in some of them, they have those who'll know if they get relegated they'll get a move to another club either here or another league system.

    Seeing Everton get relegated would be funny.

    Everton going down for me isn't personal.. I don't like to see it, but they're our immediate competitors and if they're eliminated completely it's an ideal start.

    I'd see it as interesting and funny. And also a big example of how throwing money at a problem doesn't solve it. We should learn. It would be making an example of them.

    Being highly invested in doesn't = success, there needs to be competency along side the money.

    Everton are run by a couple of rich idiots.. Nufc are run by the most intelligent galacticos there's ever been.

    With Everton it will depend upon how they start their home games. I can’t see them getting more than I point in the next three games.

    I also don’t think they will get anything in their final game at Arsenal leaving the three middle games as extremely important for them to get points.

    If Burnley can pick up 5 or 6 points in their next three games then that will heap the pressure on Everton. Any slow starts by Everton and I can see the crowd getting on the teams back and I struggle to see the likes of Delli Ali and De Breek coping with that.

    On the other side if Burnley don’t get those results then I figure Everton will scrape by.

    You'll never believe it but I agree... We have the same view. Burnley have to do it now.

    Just a quick reminder to everyone, Donny Van Der Beek didn't want to come here because he didn't fancy a relegation fight

    Everton have had the luck with them their last three home games, the middle class woke student stopping the game when Newcastle well on top, Newcastle not getting back in swing and giving away stupid goal, Man U not turning up/slouching around sulkily, and Leicester not taking their numerous chances. They're going to find less going for them in next few home games maybe.
    As for Donny Osmond Der Berk - that'll account for him being totally anonymous for Everton then

    As for Everton going down maybe - good riddance. I remember listening while at work of Villa fans quite literally hysterical at Newcastle's relegation - far FAR worse than if we'd been their derby foes - and on radio reporter at Everton's game at WBA said the Everton fans were doing the same. He was baffled and clearly disgusted too, and of course their part in the dirty tricks by the vile Jimmy Hill that got Sunderland relegated twice. The first they played their part and beat Sunderland fairly, while Jimmy Hill deliberatly got their start delayed so they knew the result. And secondly Hill got a game against then champions Everton delayed until after season ended - so they played Everton when their minds were already on the beach. Everton should have wiped the floor with them. They barely got their shoes dirty. Even though it was the makems on receiving end, it was despicable by Hill and Coventry, and Everton couldn't be bothered to play their part. So we should do same v Burnley
