Everton have hated us for years. The peak was probably 2005 when Parker & Emre turned them and potential Champions League football for Souness & us. They got particularly bitter around that time.

Fair enough. I went to a few games at home

and away vs them and never noticed any biterness. But when they got Allardyce. I really noticed they really hated us for some reason.

Dybala signed the contract 10 seconds ago. Done.

I thought Friday night earned us the right not to worry too much about how other teams are doing. Our defeat to Everton was very disappointing and then we got totally humbled by a Spurs team who are looking lethal at the moment; but the Wolves game proved that the wheels have far from fallen off. We're still a competent team with a strong mentality that is well-drilled and capable of winning matches. There's at least four games left where you'd expect us to collect points. 

I wouldn't even write off the tougher games. If we can keep focus for 90 mins we'll be hard to beat against anybody. I'm not expecting anything from Liverpool and Man City, but I'm not expecting nothing, either.

Surely even the most incontinent of bedwetters is reassured now.

[TRon]

Fuck off Burnely/Everton. Wish it could be both.

Everyone on here needs to pitch in a pack of incontinence pads for the most committed of the bedwetters

[Danh1]

So Burnley need 10 points to catch us in 8 games, which would also require us to lose our final 7.

 

Absolutely no chance.

Leicester beating Palace brings top 10 back into play. Title change please.

[nufc123]

Burnley one step closer to 40

[Hovagod]

When will it be mathematically confirmed?

[TBG]

Worrying that Norwich are hitting form.

[Kanj]

I’d be worried if I was a team below us. 

[Abacus]

Just realised I'd forgotten to panic about Norwich getting out of it.

 

I'm back up to a 7.

[Anderson]

Into a 0 this afternoon, game over for the bottom 3.

[Jesse Pinkman]

Why are people saying Burnley are relegated now? They have ridiculously easy fixtures. They won’t catch us but I can still definitely see them catching Everton considering Everton has some hard fixtures. 

[David Edgar]

Just lost the easiest fixture in the league.

Personally I think Burnley are too ineffective and Everton will do just enough in their home games I think. Hope I’m wrong.

This.

 

If results go their way, they can still potentially finish 6th.

Mainly because they had arguably their easiest remaining fixture today, and blew it. Norwich had lost 6 of their last 7, or 2 points from 24, but they couldn't take advantage.

 

I also think most are looking at it from a NUFC perspective and that it's over in that case, maybe an outside chance they can still catch Everton, but that doesn't really affect us.

Burnley have won 4 games in 30, it was mental that people were thinking they'd all of a sudden get 15 point from 9 games, the Norwich result being case and point

 

Think we'll be mathematically safe in 4 games time.

[Jinky Jim]

Although I believe we are safe because we’ll get results in next 3 games but if I was Everton I’d be worried…Shite as they may be Burnley have winnable games in 3 of the next 4….WHU next Sunday when West Ham are involved in a very important match Thursday, Southampton at home, and the saints are even worse than Burnley atm, and Watford away, when Watford seem-ably haven’t  won at home all season. 7 points out of that lot and Everton could be in bottom 3 by end of April.

Easy and easy i don't know. They play West Ham, Watford, Spurs away. Southampton, Villa, Wolves, us at home. All teams here can beat Burnley if they are on it.

That’s fair enough and likely right but I think there will be a few twists in the tale yet.

Obviously slightly different circumstances given we had Bruce at the start, and then solid investment in January, but you'll know first hand that we literally went from 1 win in 20 (22 inc the cups) only taking 12 points, to then winning 6 of the next 7 out of nowhere, so it can be done, even if very, very unlikely.
