"... and wins the championship
I want to see opta odds for when the parade could be, so that I can get ahead of it.
Yeah he actually came across as a nice honest guy in that interview. Of course he had to parrot Arteta when it comes to the title race - well not quite, he didn't ignore the question and storm off !
We *should* win? The opta computer thingy makes it a 99.5% chance. So if we ran the league from now 200 times only once in those 200 universes would we be defeated. If we're in that Universe we may as well launch ourselves from a window like people who have disappointed Putin, because it's shit.
So you're saying we might still lose the league.
I have no doubt that we will spin this out by having a couple of poor results however any threat is predicated on Arsenal being perfect which is unlikely!
If we're in one of the most depressing universes going, yes.
We let City back into the title race that year by dropping points in a couple games. What felt like a lost cause to them suddenly became an achievable goal and we all know what happened in the end.
Now obviously Arsenal are not the City of a few years ago but let's not give them any reason to play harder and grind out wins that they otherwise might not.

Dude, look around you. It could hardly get any worse.
I thought that whilst typing those words in fairness.
Nothing was ever a lost cause to that City team. We were never more than 6 ahead (after their game in hand was played), we still had to travel to their place, and that was in feckin' January! That lead was NOTHIN compared to this one, and everybody - even the most determined pessimist here - knows it.
Like I said before, some of you misery arses need to enjoy these last 9 games. Next season maybe a closer affair and you’ll regret not taking all of this in.
EXACTLY
(Noticed Everton's Apr games are against the current top 5 teams: Liverpool (A), Arsenal (H), Forest (A), Man City (H), Chelsea (A))

I don't know why. We are close to winning the league, which is a much bigger deal for us I think, but I still pissed off about losing to PSG. Being out played over two legs AND being unprepared for penos really concerns me. I would have thought Arne was captain preparation.
Has it actually been confirmed anywhere that we didn't plan for penalties?
Glass Half Empty Syndrome? Win-Blind Gripe?
I hope we didn't. That's the only excuse for that stupid fucking pointless bag of shite taking the second one
The Champions League was always a bonus this year. By February, I had already lost most hope, as it was clear that Slot was running the first eleven into the ground. Competing seriously in three competitions—one being the toughest in Europe—with so little rotation just isn’t realistic. I had expected us to reach the semi-finals before Madrid shithoused their way past us, but here we are, still well and truly in dreamland compared to our aspirations at the start of the year.
Slot is doing exactly what we wanted from our previous managers when we didn't have a squad to compete on all fronts - prioritize the league over cup competitions.
It didn’t look like it but I am speculating. Think back to when we had penalty specialists come in 2022 to help us win both cups on Penos.
We looked super confident and super prepared.
Flash forward to this year - Jones and Nunez looked like lambs to the slaughter. And I’m pretty sure no plan should have Darwain taking them.
