  • Dude, i’m a teacher. I get very, very bored with whataboutery because I hear it every day.

    I don’t know the ins and outs of what Everton have done.

    But I’m astonished that they have had this punishment, because I genuinely didn’t think Everton would ever be punished for anything they would ever do. There is this clear sense among your fans and especially the media that Everton are some kind of special case in all things. I’m surprised the Premier League haven’t subscribed to that too.

    I guarentee that if my team have overspent and fall foul, we’ll get the same or worse and there won’t be endless articles about the “perceived injustice” of our punishment; relegation to the conference will be too good for us.

    But still, I think you’ll stay up comfortably.

    Most likely, you’ll harness this sense of injustice, galvanise and overcome the deduction quickly, then the PL will get cold feed, overturn the deduction anyway in the face of the backlash from the media and you’ll shoot up the table. It will be like a shot of adrenaline









  • For whatever reason, a question for non-big six fans seems to have been answered almost exclusively by big six fans on our behalf.

    So, in answer- yes, absolutely.

    We are going to get relegated anyway. If it isn’t this season, it could be next, or the one after that. Hopefully we can delay the inevitable for a long time, years. But inevitable it is and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. A club our size (with the exception of Everton who sold their souls to the devil to always stay up) will always get relegated eventually.

    The championship is not some dark hell of gnashing teeth, weeping, hellfire and despair. Well, maybe some gnashing of teeth.

    So I’d take a bunch of amazing memories and league titles in exchange for something that’s going to happen anyway, thanks

    Would I take ten years in league one in exchange for success and winning a trophy?

    Now, League one is really shit so I’d have to think about it. Make it winning the league and you’re on


  • Not sure where 2 points better off comes from; by game 12 last season we only had 6 points. We are seven better off.

    The promoted teams are all pretty poor and are the top candidates to go down.

    We don’t know about Bournemouth yet because of injuries and bedding in.

    Everton are fine under Dyche

    Wolves are fine under O’Neill

    Forest should be fine under Cooper

    Fulham are in danger of getting sucked in, but that depends on one or the promoted teams actually getting going at some point

    Don’t really care about the top
