    Something I learnt is that there’s a law that you have to show a certain amount of each team every season. They probably fucked themselves early doors.

    When's the last time Everton have celebrated like this? More stagnant mid-table clubs should flirt with relegation.

    Everton flirted with relegation every other year during my beginning era of watching football. Kevin Campbell on loan and Walter Smith are grained into my thoughts when it comes to Everton.

    After Marcos Alonso's goal tonight took us to a searing 1-1 draw with Leicester, I looked up wondering if he was our top scorer for the season, as he seems to score all the time. Wrong - it's Mason 'Mase' Mount with 11. Romelu Lukaku is next with 8 'guaranteed' goals, then it's King Kai with 7, Jorginho and pooless itch with 6, Reece James 5, Werner/Ziyech 4, then all the defenders - Chilwell, Alonso, Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Trevor Chalobah - with three each.

    What a pointless team. 13th next year.

    Depends on who comes in. A lot of the players leaving this summer is a plus outside of Rudiger but then him leaving means they’ll probably change to a 4. Jorginho will be off to Italy as well.

    It's not a terrible team (3rd in PL, CL quarter-finals and nearly semis is fine). It's just pointless and I can't see them improving it in the short term. They need to properly back Tuchel to build it around Havertz.

    We were never the same after Chilwell busted his leg.

    I reckon I could have Patrick Vieira, but the complete lack of shape to that lad's legs tells you he hasn't got a speck of fight in him. Many such cases.

    Not wishing to be outdone, Port Vale fans took turns in swinging at the Swindon players after their pitch invasion.

    He’s back in training so should be fresh for the new season. I can see Werner, Ziyech and Lukaku or Pulisic all leaving never mind half the defence. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 10th or a proper effort at 1st next year. There’s been too much top 4 slug fests for the past 5 years. Due a Mourinho 3rd season spell or Conte 1st season.

    Everton need to play behind closed doors for a bit. The Liverpudlians don't appear capable of controlling their emotions.

    Very disappointing that they haven't been relegated and the blame fully lies on Chelsea and United. But, I do feel that next year he will make them worse again and they will go down eventually anyway. Hopefully they end up in that Sunderland like death spiral especially bearing in mind that they are fucked on FFP anyway.

    This shit with excusing the pitch invasions as exuberance and it's just a bad few who are ruining it for everyone needs to stop as well before it gets out of hand. There's been what 3 or 4 issues this week alone? If Frankfurt fans can manage not to invade the pitch after winning their biggest trophy in the last 40 years I'm sure Pisspot FC fans can manage it after they have managed to win the second leg of a playoff semi-final in League 2.

    Whenever it happens even if it is good-hearted it should be no fans in the stadium for 5 games I'm sure the clubs would mystically find a way to stop it happening then.

    I thought they were banned from transfers until the new owner is in? It sounds like it's far from done going by the rumour mill.

    Much of the credit around Everton's survival has gone to Frank Lampard - after all, he kept them up right? Well, the former Chelsea star actually only took the Toffees from 16th to 16th, but I guess that'll do.

    On top of that, Lampard took Derby County from sixth to sixth in his first managerial stint, and then took Chelsea from fourth to fourth during his time at Stamford Bridge...

Most would struggle at getting a top half finish with them expectations you get at Chelsea and the team at hand

    No, that was after they brought in about 8 players. The team that got top 4 had Abraham and batshuayi battling it out to start games

    Pedro/Abraham/Willian front 3

    I thought this at first too.

    On Lampard I agree he did a decent job at Chelsea, but, at the same time, there is a limit to how badly one can fail at clubs with such resources. I mean, look how bad United have been this season, they're still coming 6th.

    Mourinho won the league and then had Chelsea finishing 10th. With a much better team. So it was definitely possible things could have gone ridiculously badly.

    He’s fun if nothing else. Can always guarantee you goals at each end
