Average = a 3-0 defeat.
On paper their Latin motto "Nil satis nisi optimum" means "Only the best is good enough". I reckon its real meaning is "A goalless draw's the best we can hope for".

I thought it was “DVD, now in 4K”
I’m getting ever so slightly more hopeful. Lampard’s I’ll judged public comments about the teams mentality and his admission he can’t get into their heads right before an international break when he can’t clarify them is gold
Those words will fester and he’s going to have a bit of an issue get any kind of decent tune out of them when they return

Norwich are doomed already so I can't get my ideal three relegated (Everton, Burnley and Watford, the other two because of the football they play and their gobsh!te managers). If two out of the three go down that'll do for me, but I still have a hunch that Leeds may keep dropping and push one more of them to safety.
In their last game, Leeds looked as though they might have their mojo back.
True (new manager bounce) but their GD is so poor and their injury list so long that I'm not sure they've left themselves enough time. Hope they do make it though, if it means two rather than one of those teams I named above can go down instead.
If they're at full strength, yes. Currently I'm not so sure, with Phillips and many of their first choice defenders unavailable.
I don't know. They've been the worst team in the league when I've watched them. Absolutely useless. If not for that patch at the beginning, they'd be deep in the relegation zone right now.
Everton are safe. They probably only need 2 more wins given how shit everyone else is around them. They'll do that.
I'm liking Farky's optimism far more than Hal's negativity. Where's Dantes when you need him to wade in.
I hope they both lose.
That's because you're a pussy who can't handle the truth
[article]The Toffees have been worst under Lampard from an underlying process than under Rafa Benitez this season, and they haven't exactly had the toughest of fixtures.
Away form is a massive issue, with a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Crystal Palace in the FA Cup their fourth successive away loss since Lampard took charge, losing those games by an aggregate score of 14-1.
A victory over Newcastle last midweek was huge though, putting daylight between themselves and third-bottom Watford, but their remaining fixtures do look incredibly difficult.
Everton's remaining fixtures:
West Ham (A), Man Utd (H), Liverpool (A), Chelsea (H), Leicester (A), Brentford (H), Arsenal (A), Burnley (A), Leicester (H), *Palace (H). *Watford (A).[/article]
Oh, they're defo still in the mix. Forced to decide, I'd say they'll stay up by the skin of their teeth, but I'd be delighted to be wrong.
None. They’re shit.
I took a look at their accounts. It's like an accountant's version of rubber-necking a huge pile-up on the M6.
Two key points to raise:
LOSSES
At first glance, a reduction in their losses from £140m in 2020 to £121m in 2021 looks like it might be the beginning of a turn-around. However, if you strip out their estimates of covid impact and exceptional costs, the adjusted losses are £15m for 2020 and £84m for 2021 - i.e. things are getting worse as far as their ordinary, underlying business is concerned.
Plus, you also have to ask, if they have huge "exceptional costs" every year (a big chunk of which relates to writing down the value of their playing squad), are they really exceptional or just a symptom of poor management?
FUNDING
Moshiri (Usmanov?) had to prop them up with another loan of £90m during 2021 (up from £40m the year before) and has put in at least another £97m since the year end (so current year will be just as much of a shit-show as 2021). NB, the accounts were signed off at the end of October 2021 so if he has had to put more money in since, this wouldn't be mentioned - he had to put £97m in just for the first 5 months of 2021-22!
They are following the model of Abramovich - spending beyond their means and propped up by loans from their controlling shareholder. The difference is, of course, under Abramovich, Chelsea bought good players and won stuff.
The accounts were also signed off before Usmanov was sanctioned, so there's no commentary on the effect that might have.

Sounds like they're FUCKED!
He's scoring for Brazil now ... they'll get 50+ for him imo.
They'll want £150m for him and get about £65. The cross dresser will be sold to Vogue or Arsenal for about £45m
That £50m should help attract some journeymen capable of getting them a mid table position next season….. in the Championship.
