Chermiti is going to be a decent player next season. He can run, shoot and dribble. Can’t wait to see a full season from him.

A most unEverton-like combination. We're normally happy with one of those.  

Well, the predictions are all in and it couldn't be closer!

Boston looks as though he's studied the form (at least he realises we're playing at home ), Palfy thinks we're Real Madrid , Romey is holding firm at 2-0 (though he must be feeling the pressure to change it ) and Formby has read the tea leaves. 

Scores to look out for:

Boston 3-1

Romey 2-0

Palfy 3-0

Formby 2-1

Bayer Leverkusen came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against Roma. Absolutely unreal achievement this season. Still unbeaten.

Everton 2-1 Sheffield United

Why do so many Evertonians live in the past?

This is a genuine question by the way, I’m intrigued because I find it so odd.

Have you seen the present?

Were in the best position Formby no pressure on us mate the other 2 are expected to win, let’s be honest Steve never gave us a mention yet we closed the gap up considerably in the last 2 rounds. Get 1 point more than me and were share it mate

Yep, we've been completely overlooked! Hoping Steve will be greeting us in the Winner's Enclosure with our glasses of. Mark's gone off early with a 2-0.  Don't think that will get him many points!

This is going to the wire with 4 people in with a chance of winning it. 

Boston's shot his bolt, I think. Mark's more a thoroughbred and pacing it nicely. But I think we have them, Palfy - on the stand side with two to go,  just a nose between us and, as my uncle used to say, I wouldn't like to pick the winner's.

I'd only like him back in any capacity if we also sign an actual winger.

I'd go a little further.

I don't want him back in any capacity and hope we sign two actual wingers!

Now I know you're doing it deliberately.

You are probably right maybe 1 win and a draw will do it, I don’t see Burnley finishing higher as 18th even though dunlopp thinks they are a threat to us. 

Remember, Dunlopp is crazy, though. 

Sorry, Dunlopp.

I said last week Luton were done, the fight as gone from the players and the manager, I saw it last week in their demeanour and faces and it’s still here this week. 
All we need to do is win 2 and draw 1 and we stay up, Luton are definitely down with Sheffield and Burnley. 

I think a bit less, probably. A couple of wins should do it. Luton aren't getting three wins from four.

A win tomorrow and things start to look a lot better.

Everton 2-1 Nottingham Forest

• And of those 17 sides, Forest have won the fewest away games (three), earned the fewest away points (18), lost the most away games (23), scored the fewest away goals (28) and conceded the most away goals (77).

Did you really have to add this? 

Sorry, Boston.

Anyway, my prediction: Bayern Madrid 2 - 1 Everton

Get Dick Masters to decide.

It'll take too long. I think Steve should be able to step in and adjudicate.

I'm personally in favour of docking Boston 5 extra points for just calling them Nottingham. I mean, what's that about?

We're at home.

Boston has previous for this! Obviously just guessing - doesn't know where we're playing or who we're playing. Surely, a 20 point deduction?

I think Boston was predicting the March fixture well in advance. Sad to see he still has us scoring zero goals.

I think, realistically, with 777, we can look forward to, at best, midtable mediocrity for time to come...

Oh, I dream of such a thing! A couple of tenth places, the occasional foray to the QF of a cup, a big win over someone in the Top 4. Nice and stable.

Just fills ya with hope, dunnit 

 

 

From what I've read of Usmanov, I don't think we were exactly dealing with angels before. Football finance is a murky business. It would be nice to have a mega-rich Everton fan benefactor who could buy the club out but, at the moment, even the vultures aren't interested in picking at our carcass.
