38 Points… We Can Do This

I never say this because I think it is one of the stupidest things football fans seem to say to each other in the mistaken belief that it reinforces the veracity of their own perceptions… but Danny, you really must have been watching a different game!

Bazinga!

I saw him warming up so must've imagined him being on the pitch.

Their bench made me very jealous and those around me.

Apologies for the mistake.

Frank Lampard rather than Roy Keane was better known for those late runs into the box.

We are owed another away day performance, Brighton was only partial payback for the dreadful performances over the season.

Leeds have a decided advantage playing after Forest and us at the weekend. In addition West Ham have a game on Thursday are now safe unless there is an 11-goal swing between them and Leeds over the final two games.

We have it in our hands and in order to keep it that way we must win on Saturday.

A must-win game!

As you say, this is in our hands still. I hate having to hope for results elsewhere to go in our favor, especially when we really need not have been in this predicament again.

Wolves is now a very big game indeed, and I anticipate the most incredible atmosphere for the last day v Bournemouth, getting tingles already...

In all seriousness, I feel like 1998, we will need a hand from a committed professional just like Gianluca Vialli.

My astrological guts are telling me us and the barcodes will relegate Leicester at the weekend and we'll leapfrog Forest.

For me the final relegation spot is between Leeds & Forest, decided on the 28th.

Palace will beat Forest on the final day as they want the kudos of finishing above Chelsea.

I would hate to see Everton relegated, but if you are incapable of solving your own problems and have to rely on other teams loosing at this time of the season.you don't deserve to be in the Premier League.

We are all aware of the major problem in the Club at the top and there does not seem to be any progress made to solve it, what is going to be different next season.

No one myself included wants to see their club relegated, but this relying on 11 players on the pitch is not solving the group of 5s mismanagement of the club, and until then thousands of supporters are made to suffer with no end in sight.

A positive change is needed, and not just paper talk but action. Moshiri has to either take control of this club or find someone who is genuinely willing to do it. It is no use building a mansion if you cant afford to live in it, you will need income from the Premier league to do it.

I think we will beat Wolves on Saturday and we will be safe then. However, I think we only need 3 more points to be safe anyway (rather than 6) but I'd prefer they come on Saturday instead of a horrible nervy last day.

Usually that scenario can be the kiss of death but the way they came up dividends against a good Brighton team gives us hope that they can do it again.

Certainly a point wouldn't be bad and then a great home performance against the Bees would suffice.

C.O.Y.B.

0/10 for De Bruyne.

At least I will be in the away section this time around and not with the home fans like last time around and get my letter of warning.

UTFT!!

Clap clap clap ad infinitum!!

Belief, courage and discipline, from the Everton squad and management team, can see Everton, over the line with victory against Wolves.

A few weeks ago the odds were heavily stacked against Everton, but using the battle references, analogy, Everton, have held out like the UN forces, at, the Battle of the Imjin, in the Korean War, which contributed eventually to a peace treaty a coupłe of years later.

Let's stick together, belief, and conviction, and hopefully with DCL, available, Everton, can achieve victory and with some luck and West Ham, and Arsenal win, approach the last match with good heart, and security.

Everton, hold their destiny, Everton, must secure at least a point, ideally victory v Wolves, and defeat Bournemouth in the last match of this season.

UTFTs!

He is likely to start at the weekend. Time for plenty of crosses and shots at goal, I think.

I just hope we get it done at the weekend and avoid another week of torture next week.

The Wolves stand-in keeper had a terrific game.

Even though I chatted with the Wolves fans around me last season, who were friendly enough and got used to me, I got a complaint and warning for my future conduct from Wolverhamton Wanderers. As I had signed up to membership, they warned me of who I gave my ticket to.

Possibly from someone who at the time didn't have the balls to stand up to me for cheering us pulling one back. At least I didn't get ejected.

I was sat with United Fans at Old Trafford this season. I have no problem with it. Nor do the majority of football supporters. We can all get on.

In with the travelling blue army at the weekend.

I'm reminded that many moons ago my youngest decided he was going to support Chelsea (he would have been about 7 or 8 at time).

I took him to the Bridge but could only get tickets in the away section. Chelsea played Everton that day. The rest is history. He's been a hardcore Blue since. He's 25 now.

I sat in with the West Ham fans about 10 years ago down at their place - never, ever again. A terrifying experience, especially when my mate from New Zealand who was with me, thought it would be funny to 'out' me to the locals.

West Ham supporters do not like us one bit, I can assure you.

I am in my very first Everton kit, he in his Liverpool one.

His parents, my mother's sister and Uncle Archie, both from Speke, moved to Battersea in the late 60s.

He converted to being a Chelsea supporter way before they became successful, which I respect. Although I still have that photo!!

James, I have a bad habit of mixing with away supporters. I suppose it goes with the territory when you travel to home games from London. Last season I kicked on the train at West Ham fans when they started singing "we pay your benefits" as we got close to Lime Street.

I shared a taxi with them and took them to the Saddle Inn, where they mixed well.

I told a few Chelsea supporter to shut up with their bigotry at the Taxi rank in Lime Street. We got a Taxi together and I dropped them off at the Abbey.

I debated with City supporters walking across Stanley Park but we ended up having a drink together.

I have mentioned, one day, my mouth will get me into trouble, but I can't hold back.

Ironically, the only ones I can't talk to are the cousins. Apart from at family gatherings.

Listen to Danny, we will ease the worries on Saturday whether with Dominic or not. The score will be bigger if Dominic plays though.

If we go into the last weekend of the season in the Bottom 3, I can't see us staying up this time, especially as Leeds will be playing the most fragile team in the league in Spurs.

It's a cup final. No, it's bigger than that – you don't get relegated if you lose a cup final, you just don't pick up a trophy.

... and all of a sudden they'll win their last 2 remaining fixtures?

I doubt that very much.

DLDLDLLWLLDWLWLLLDLLD.

Sparkling form.

I had the pleasure of going to Bolweyn when Lardiola was leading them to promotion. He got dog's abuse from the home fans all evening and they played well and won.

I was informed at the time "at work from a West Ham fan about the tales of West Ham woes" the lowest they finished with him was 12th. He took over from Grant who relegated them, and Billic was appointed after him, as he was seen a fan choice.

Yes, he was then sacked 2 years later after the club was in the relegation places. Moyes had just been appointed (the first time), and he wasn't over the moon about it.

I'll be honest (and I know I'm on my own), but I'd rather have Big Sam than Dyche in the Everton hot seat.
