That's assuming they don't go up, you never know! Plymouth, Rotherham and such to enjoy though.

That's true, I think he has been really poor this year. I think confidence plays a factor and he's been part of this losing mentality for almost 18 months now, not just this season. I don't think he's had a proper partner down the right hand side though, I thought when we were at our best he linked up with Armstrong pretty well who'd allow the overlap etc. He's often isolated as our only attacking outlet, then gets caught, can't recover and the rest is history.

There are some pretty key games next weekend which may dictate how it ends. Bournemouth v Leeds on Sunday, Leicester v Everton on Monday. 'If' Bournemouth win they're sorted, if Leicester win they pull away onto 32 points and Everton will end up 5 points adrift (inc. GD) with 5 games to go. That would leave Everton with Brighton away, Man City at home, Wolves away and Bournemouth at home to potentially get 7/8 points from. I think a defeat at against Leicester will be curtains for them, funny to see but like you say potentially a bit of a kick in the teeth in terms of our hopes next year. Then it'll be down to Leicester, Forest and Leeds to battle it out for the last spot. Stranger things have happened, but it's starting to look like a tall order for Everton given their remaining games.

We are very good at one thing - being consistently shit. We've mastered that at least. Must be due another record at some point.

This is it to me, mentally weak players. Look at how we fold when something bad happens, goal against us etc. This isn't a new thing, this has been happening for years. No manager is blameless here, it's a very confusing managerial season, but for me these players should take the brunt. This isn't not a new experience, no matter who is in charge.

They should fricking pay us to go. £21 per hour wage should do it.

They at least went down with a bit of fight with their caretaker, we won't even make 30 points. The way we are surrendering is already eroding any potential positivity I had for next season.

Nah, I wouldn't want to tarnish him with these wankers. Let him live on the glory of the Fontes/Chaplows/Rickies/Hammonds etc. He doesn't deserve to have to manage this lot. We're in a bit of an odd position really, need to start planning for next year but it's hard to that until we start shifting the rats, which we can't do until the season is over. It's a shame we can't start doing it now really.

It's going to be tight for Everton, more so than last season in my opinion. Pretty clear now that it's two from Everton, Leeds, Forest, Leicester now. I think Forest will struggle, last slot is a slog out between the 3 teams you'd probably least expect to be relegated. There will be a surprise one this year.

I'd have Jono quick over Adam Armstrong. Danny N'Guessan would get in before Elyounoussi as well. You watch us offer new contracts to both of them, just watch.

Worst performance of my lifetime, in a game where we needed to show some guts and effort we produced the most pathetic showing of 'football' i have quite simply ever seen. Forest at home was bad, but it wasn't as 'last chance saloon' as this one - but we still didn't show up. Rickie, Hammond, Fonte, Chaplow, Guly, Morgan, Lallana, Kelvin will be wanting to kill those bunch of tossers. All the hard work those guys put in to get us where we were has been undone by the most pathetic bunch of wankers we have ever seen.

When you think you've seen the worst of these tossers, they produce that. Honestly, worst performance of my lifetime that one. Just because of what was 'potentially' on it (although unlikely, we needed to make an effort of it). But it was gutless, wimpy and just same old. I don't know what we are, what we're trying to do, or what goes through those players minds. This has the feeling of a really, really, really catastrophic relegation that we may never recover from. Bournemouth and Brighton will both be in a higher division than us next season, whilst our South Coast derby will be against Plymouth. Let that sink in for a second. Sack the lot of them.

Easily worse, 10x worse. There's nothing good about this side, horrible dislikeable bunch of losers.

This is the sort of performance which makes me fear next season to be honest, this performance is catastrophic at so many levels.

That was a better lot, this lot is the worst of the worst. They will proudly live in the realm of our worst ever PL players. All of them.

We've not even reacted to the goal, this is shameful really.

They'll be patting themselves on the back at the end of the game due to some nonsense statistics.

Fully deserved that, fair play to Bournemouth - they've gone for it. We are nowhere near and haven't been all season.

That would require the players taking some form of responsibility, so that won't happen.

A standard Adam Armstrong hit and hope, to go along with his run and hope. Your typical kick and rush player, but with less refinement than that of Shane Long. Bloke doesn't deserve to play in the top 2 tiers. I'd offer to pay up his contract.

I'd understand, to a point, the keep it tight calls if we're like in November or December. But this is different, we can't keep playing the same ponderous approach waiting for an opening, we have to force it, we have to take responsibility, but my feeling is that these players are cowards and none of them want to take responsibility so they pass it to the next person. Selles line ups are weird, but I'd argue that you can only do so much with this bunch to be honest. They really are terrible wimps.

He's been pretty shit tbf, but I'd keep him on but surround him with better. Adams, Sulemana - will probably see a different Alcaraz. There's only so much a player can do when you're surrounded by the frauds we have masquerading as premier league attackers.

Because they're still paid a hefty sum to work for my club. They've jacked it in for years though, it's not like it's just this game.

So, so, so, so bad. When are these bunch of morons going to take responsibility? They just pass it around as if there is no rush, no care, no urgency. That attack is the worst attack we've ever fielded at this level, I'm embarrassed by us. Bournemouth's attack is on a different universe than what we can muster. I don't know what else to say really, I just want us to be put of our misery and scrap the bunch of them. I dislike this team more than any other. Bunch of losers.

Seems like the ''Who do we have to endure in attack this week?" tombola has landed on Armstrong and Elyonoussi. Should be a laugh. Work commitments mean I'm not there, but it's possible that work will be a distraction for a change. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it's going to be pretty.
