Blimey! Never mind who will be in the bottom three, that's got us in sixth place!
………….. Dream on!
Give me an experienced manager any day of the week.
When you have a run of bad results, and you will, will Potter have the minerals to deal with it ?

Surely we should finishing above the likes of Sheffield United.
ThisWatford and Southampton to pick up.
Sheff Utd's form will drop off but maybe they'll scrape it.
Newcastle have problems
Can't see Villa or Burnley being seriously sucked in
I don't discount Palace
I'll discount us only after we've navigated the next 4 games. If we pick up 0 or 1 or even 2, the table will look a whole lot less pretty and it will be quite possible to make the case, we've only beaten seriously out of form sides or relative minnows.
I'll pick Norwich, Newcastle with confidence and say one of Palace, Sheff Utd or Southampton to go down with about 38 points
Everton have never been relegated from the top flight since 1954. Their squad is too good to go down.
It has gone to the last game of the season though at least once.Everton have never been relegated from the top flight since 1954. Their squad is too good to go down. Any real danger and they will bring in a new manager.
Bit patronising...SU are playing very well and deserve where they are in the league....plenty of people moan when we get referred to as “teams like Brighton” and they rightly get flak

Really? They finished one place above relegation in 79/80 (which I think is the only season since 1954 they finished below Brighton) but were 4 points clear on the old 2 pts for a win basis. Their goal difference was 21 better than Bristol City's so even if they won last game they were effectively safe before that. No other season were they that close.
Everton survived in 1994 thanks to a 3-2 win against Wimbledon on the last day of the season.
They survived on goal difference in 1998.
Just got this feeling about Palace........
They normally collapse at the beginning of the season LLLLLLLL style but I’m hoping they do it at the end with Zaha leaving in January.
