Relegation?

[londonfox]

So it’s the same scenario as 1991, right? We need Tony James to score a winner and hope the team above us don’t get anything more than a draw.

Who is gonna be this years hero.... I'll go for Ndidi.

 

[Graz]

Souttar big header to win the game.

We go down anyway because Everton score 2 late goals, but Souttar is the new hero in the Championship and becomes our modern day Matt Elliott for 2 years until he's sold to Liverpool.

It's always the most unlikely.

Amartey. On as a sub. 25 yard curler into the top corner in the 94th minute.

Hate to say it…that missed penalty against Everton will be the moment for me.

It sticks in the mind for sure but there are umpteen other examples you could have used.

Without doubt.

I also keep going back to Rodgers refusing to make any subs against Brentford in the opening match. In a strop.

I also keep going back to Rodgers refusing to make any subs against Brentford in the opening match. In a strop.

And the one sub he did make completely gave the midfield over to Brentford from which they dominated the game and scored two goals. 2 points pissed away that would be oh so vital now.

But there’s so many moments. Gifting Liverpool a win up there. Vardy missing a hat-trick of chances at Stamford Bridge and being one of the few teams to actually lose to Graham Potter’s Chelsea. The penalty against Everton. Letting Southampton do the double on us - that one is truly inexcusable. Ndidi’s pass for the Villa goal, Maddison against Bournemouth. Ward letting in Chilwell’s goal… and these are just off the top of my head.

Last few seconds at Palace too.

Thrown so many points away this season it's hard to blame one or 2 specific incidents.

Even the first game of the season set the tone and I still don't think the players have mentally recovered from losing to Spurs in injury time so you could easily argue our relegation goes way beyond this season.

It's always the most unlikely.

Amartey. On as a sub. 25 yard curler into the top corner in the 94th minute.

Most unlikely is Soumare then surely.

Amartey has scored goals - important ones - for us previously

Last few seconds at Palace too.

Must admit, I was getting a bit of the Palace vibe last night. And it was the Palace match that turned me. I went from thinking we'd scrape by and avoid the drop to thinking we hadn't got it in us.

I think the biggest moment is the board pissing away 20-30 points before the season started when they failed to sack that ****ing arsehole manager

Well yes, that too.

Anyone else wishes we'd had the chance to do this at any point during the season?

What would you have said, and at what point?

Dilly ding dilly dong. We are in the Championship. **** off and die. Are you ostriches?
Any time

I'd have added "smashing bunch of absolute ****s" but all of the above would have helped too.

I can see this happening:

Leeds survive.
Everton and Leicester go down.

All next season, regarding The Championship, every football media thing - the papers, the BBC, the SkySports, everyone - will only look at The One Team in the Championship - Everton.

Every one of their games will be watched, analysed, SkySported. Everyone else, us included, will be ignored.

It would suit us not being the focus of media attention and expectation of promotion all season.
