[Pepe the Horseman]

I want Everton to go down, but it'll be Norwich, Burnley and Watford. A Burnley win on Wednesday would at least make it interesting.

[Brum Royal]

Looking through the fixtures, I've got Everton getting 5, Watford 5, Burnley 6, and Norwich 2. So that would make my final table of

Everton 33
-----
Watford 27
Burnley 27
Norwich 20

Though if anyone's getting out of it from the bottom 3, it's going to be Watford, given they've got 4 of the sides at the bottom to play.

[From Despair To Where?]

I fancy Burnley to stay up. They've got the other 3 at the bottom to play, plus Newcastle and Villa twice in the last 4 games and they'll be on the beach.

[Winston Biscuit]

Ive probably created this thread 48 hours too early as I see 4th from bottom being out of Burnley & Everton and they play each other tomorrow.

If Burnley win tomorrow then they are staying up, if Everton win tomorrow then they are staying up. If its a draw then its a very hard call, and I will lazily say Everton to stay up as they are 4 points ahead and each win seems huge down there.

Burnley have the best set of fixtures.

The current bottom 3 by virtue of Everton's games in hand, I think they will just about sneak enough points. It would be hilarious if they didn't though.

[Franchise FC]

Where's the Gillian Taylforth option ?

[Weymouth Royal]

I would love, love, love it if Everton went down, but it' unlikely with the games in hand. Plus I can't stand that smug faced nobcheese Lampard. He has an arrogance about him on the touchline of a manager who hasn't earnt it!

I'll raise you an Ulrika.

Something’s getting raised at that point

[Loafer]

Everton please

[From Despair To Where?]

Big win for Burnley.

[Weymouth Royal]

Messy game of football but great result for Burnley. Frank is in big trouble now. United next for Everton too.

[genome]

Man Utd, Leicester twice, Liverpool and Chelsea in their next five.

Just hoping tonight gives Burnley some confidence and they can pick up a win or two during that time. Not even sure Frank can survive the season.

PLEASE EVERTON GO DOWN PLEASE PLEASE IF THERE IS A GOD ALLAH MOHAMMED THE ELEPHANT THING PLEASEEEEEE

Definitely looking like the Everton board were seduced by a "name". Nothing in Lampard's cv to suggest he's up for a relegation scrap. In fact there's nothing to suggest he's up for a job with big expectations. Doesn't strike me as the sort of personality to give big egos a boot up the arse.

He may just have to completely reboot his managerial career.

Ex-players don't need to have anything on their c.v. apparently

Darren Fletcher was brought in as a favour to coach the youth team so he could get his badges

Somehow he's gone from putting out cones to deciding who the new manager/transfers/etc at United is gonna be

[Winston Biscuit]

Ran the poll too early. I vote Everton for relegation.

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

I think Everton might get something against Man Utd on Saturday. Too close to call for the drop though. Fun times.

I think this as well, United are pretty inconsistent at the moment.

I'm still not convinced that Burnley will get out of it, yes they beat Everton in a big win last night, but that's only their 4th win all season and they will potentially need 3 more, minimum, to get out of it. Not impossible, but a tough ask. They'll need another 10 points I think to ensure they survive as I don't think anyone will go down on 34 points.
