Palfy

I feel sick as anything but I'm determined not to let my worry seep out on to the pitch later. Those players need us right behind them, so I hope anyone with negativity in their mind either stays at home or keeps it internal for the 90 minutes. Moan afterwards but during the game we just have to back them. Even if they don't win, or lose, I hope there's no booing because that will not be good for anyone.
Relegation terrifies me but no matter what division we're in next season we'll still be Everton Football Club and I'll still be going. This club is ours, it doesn't belong to those players and it doesn't belong Moshiri either. It'll always be ours because we're the ones that will always be here. So lets support them as hard as we're capable, not because they deserve it but because we are Everton.

Supporters again showing full commitment to the cause, hopefully the chefs a blue and most of the Chelsea squad have the shits. 

Guys…. I think we’re in a relegation battle 

6 games to define our season, it’s time for unity, we need to show Frank and the boys that we trust them and back them to get the job done. First Chelsea then 5 more opportunities to get to as close to 40 as possible #daretodream

Who Mike 😉

All hindsight that question. As it goes he certainly wasn’t the right man. Lampard has 10 points from 12 games that’s 26 points dropped. The appointment was all wrong. Humiliating defeats a long the way. The guy talks a good talk and says all the right things but he wasn’t the right man for this job. Even if we stay up (highly doubtful) to be in this position shows he can’t get a tune out of these players. 
 
Look at Burnley 10 points from 4. That’s the reaction we needed it never came. 

We do usually beat ourselves to be fair.

Moved into our new (to us) apartment yesterday in Flackwell Heath (Bucks) to be near our youngest daughter. Move went really well. Brilliant removal men and all the family to help out.  Really like the new place, beautiful gardens all covered  by a management fee, no work! Apartment has good quality fittings and is nicely decorated, so no work there either!  Big weight off my mind.
Got a call from the Consultant and he is going ahead with Radio Therapy. I think it starts in a couple of weeks. Since going on the new tablets (17 per day) I have been eating a lot better and putting a bit of weight back on.

Who Mike 😉

We need to win one of our away games with our GD we may need 39 points if it’s us or Burnley for 17th, but every game that goes by where we don’t get points means we are running out of time to bridge the gap, to base our future on Watford, Palace, and Brentford as the only must win games is relegation thinking, all our games must be viewed as must win games and it has to start Sunday with Chelsea if we lose that and Burnley win that’s us done maybe not mathematically but definitely mentally. 

An average of someone’s performance isn’t small sections of their total it’s from the beginning till the end, if Lampard carries on at his rate we will be down, he was 3-4 points away from a relegation spot with 2-3 games in hand and better goal difference than the 3 team’s in the relegation spot, now we are in a relegation spot 2 points from safety with one game in hand and a poorer GD now than Burnley that means in reality we are 3 points behind them from safety, that isn’t an improvement no matter how you try to dress it up. He’s got 6 games to improve his stats,10 points from a possible 36 is still relegation form over a season so no improvement, and definitely not the improvement many believed would happen. Not either managers fault we have poor striker’s and even poorer central defenders not down to them, Rafa lost his job no problem with that no one will ever know if he stayed what would have happened so not even worth getting into that argument, Lampard comes in and we have lost ground on the team’s around us instead of improving our position in the league it has deteriorated that can not be classed as an improvement. 

I'm just glad it's not Sky. England games should not be allowed to be bought by non-free-to-view companies.

I know mate he had a shocker and in fairness he scraped through last week, I’m not going to his restaurant now, I’m going with you to the the young Indian girls, love a good curry. Sarah does look sophisticated and classy I must admit, but now I’ve got a vision of you sat in the lounge bollock naked watching master chef that’s put me right off my food😂

We have fun times ahead. Loads more infighting and chaos. The crazy thing is I bit the bullet today and renewed for another year of expensive travel and significant pain and misery! 

Keep pushing mate, the one positive over Steve that you have John is he won’t be needing a haircut 😂
Apologies Steve just trying to keep John’s spirits up 😉

Let’s hope there’s a forthcoming book on how the players busted a gut and avoided this season’s drop. 

Thank fuck for that, I thought we were signing him again for a minute there!

No, permanent now; coffee and walnut cake is the closest I get, but it's not a bad substitute🍰

Wash the car??? What’s that?  Had my bmw 4 series for 2 years + now… it was a treat to myself. Not washed it. 

Lampard has had long enough to change mentality and tactics and find away to win but we haven’t seen that, amazingly Burnley sack their manager immediate improvement like light and day, Leeds sack their manager again immediate improvement, we sack our manager and no improvement in 12 league games, it’s ridiculous to blame Rafa for what’s happening now that’s burying your head in sand and not accepting the reality that Lampard hasn’t done what he was brought here to do. Not wrong to sack Rafa poor decision to give the job to a manager with very little experience and none in what fighting a relegation battle takes, but that’s the fault of Moshiri who obviously thought we have 18 games left we are 4 or 5 points clear of a relegation spot, he took a gamble and he lost and supporters are giving him away out by blaming Rafa, never heard so much bollocks in my life, stop being a victim and face the fact Lampard wasn’t the man for where we were. And Moshiri is a complete disaster for this club. 

I’m getting a bit pissed off now with people trying to say I’m defending Rafa, what I’m saying is Lampard hasn’t improved us as in our position it’s got worse, unfortunately not my fault look at the league table it’s a fact, whether we look better or the players are happier means jack shit if that doesn’t transpire into wins and points, and I would disagree with the players looking happier, DCL, Richarlison, Doucoure, Allan, Keane, Pickford, all look miserable as fuck, I haven’t seen many playing with a smile on there face for a long time. We aren’t playing like a team that’s improved we are playing with fear and lack of confidence, fear in our defending and lack of confidence in our attempts at goal. If people are still happy to be relegated because Lampard’s better than Rafa then crack on, but I’m not happy Rafa was sacked to bring in a manager who would turn our season round, but it hasn’t worked and not saying we shouldn’t have sacked Rafa, I’m saying we shouldn’t have given the job to Lampard in the situation we were in his lack of experience meant the job was above his ability and experience, I said it when he was given the job and sadly it’s looking that way. 

We need to win one of our away games with our GD we may need 39 points if it’s us or Burnley for 17th, but every game that goes by where we don’t get points means we are running out of time to bridge the gap, to base our future on Watford, Palace, and Brentford as the only must win games is relegation thinking, all our games must be viewed as must win games and it has to start Sunday with Chelsea if we lose that and Burnley win that’s us done maybe not mathematically but definitely mentally. 

Like in cricket and tennis.  I’ve always maintained that VAR would be a problem and have always favoured on field refereeing decisions to stand, VAR has got things right and as also got things wrong, but my big problem is VAR is inconsistent when it comes to reviewing incidents which has made it not an even playing field. I would get rid of it instead they try to improve it but how do you improve something that is always going to rely on human input. 

😂 for a fiver if you didn’t like them you could use them for washing the car. 

I only drink coffee mate I don’t like tea never have, I have Miele built in coffee maker grinds the beans, high pressure steam for heating and frothing milk and dispenses hot water for making tea for the ladies😁
