[Albion] Premier League 15-17/5/22

Us to finish above Palace and Everton survive or Palace finish above us and Everton relegated?

I would take Palace finishing above us and Everton relegated personally.

Hmmm. I'm not going to join you in that one.

Us to finish above Palace and Leeds going down would work fine for me

 

[East Staffs Gull]

I don’t think Everton are safe at all. Palace are more than capable of getting at least a point up there and I can’t see Everton getting anything at Arsenal.

Burnley are also showing ‘spirit’ and were a little unlucky not to get a point at Spurs. Leeds also showed ‘spirit’ too.

I can see Everton relying on other results on the last day. That’s a lottery.

Everton 8-1 to go down.

Everton 8-1 to go down.

I think that reflects the fact that Leeds have an exceptionally tough final game at Brentford.

Yes, that and the -38 goal difference, compared with about -20 for the others.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Saw an Everton fan online saying there is a conspiracy to get them relegated as the EFL wanted a "big team" in the Championship to boost viewer numbers. They were seemingly serious too.

If the EFL want more big clubs in the Championship then maybe they should "conspire" to get Sunderland and Massive promoted from League One?

...which, thinking about it, is only about half a goal per game.

Arsenal v Newcastle live on Sky….but I’ve currently opted for Huddersfield v Luton with a switch to the PL for the HT break as it kicked off later

It doesn't have to be either/or.

Everton can draw v Palace and still go down. A draw puts them on 37 points. Leeds are on 35 so can over take them with a win. Burnley are on 34 and have a better goal difference than Everton, and have two games to play. If everton draw v Palace then lose their last game, Burnley only need to win one of theirs and not lose the other by at least 2 more than Everton lose v Arsenal (depending on how large Burnley's winning margin is in their other game).

Then Palace have only gained one point, and as long as we get a better result (win v draw, draw v loss, ie scoreline not enough unless we get to double figues) we finish above them.

I'd be happy with that. Or palace losing and Everton being safe with Burnley going down. Or with leeds going down.

 

[Danny Wilson Said]

Am I correct in thinking that if Newcastle don't win tonight we can't finish any lower than 13th?

Burnley are on 34 points, but a win in either of their 2 remaining games would put them above Everton if they got one point from their 2.

Oops. Yeah. I kept rewording it, that's a remnant from my 'if burnley win one they are then on 37' version).

Talk about tension, it’s as bad as a relegation fight. £50m to £100m from a CL campaign, plus you attract better players in the summer transfer window. Arsenal must win tonight, given Spuds easy final fixture.

Brought this on themselves, Arsenal were well set a few weeks ago.

 

[albionalbino]

Both Ben White and Dan Burn have played well.
Callum Wilson looks toothless upfront.

 

[Swansman]

My 12+ corners bet at 4.50 looking really nice

 

[dazzer6666]

1-0, deserved tbf. Ben White OG

Viera to Arsenal in the summer it is then.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Arteta really not popular at all with the Gooners according to my pal.

 

[Reddleman]

Arsenal have bottled the CL. So predictable.

All this chat about Howe being manager of the season though is a farce. He spent £90m in January. I could have managed them to safety with £90m. He will be gone by Xmas when they are mid table and not meeting the Saudi expectations.

 

[Weststander]

Ben’s just tripled the cost of his signing.

Great news for [MENTION=522]Kinky Gerbils[/MENTION].

 

[wellquickwoody]

Would be sweet.

But he’s a snide who never quite does enough to get a red.


The Everton forum’s predictably bitter. Blaming their woes in this match on an EPL conspiracy against them.

Scousers playing the victim? Wonder where they got that idea from?
