No sympathy for Everton at all. They absolutely revelled in our demise

I would love to seem them relegated along with West Ham.

Add West Brom to that for the perfect trio of tripe :)

Unfortunately none of those 3 will be relegated this season.

2 Spurs fans (filthy bastards) have been banned for life after throwing a cup of urine at West Ham fans from inside the ground

It's a special kind of stupid for them to film themselves doing that.

I think it could be any three from the current bottom nine. Brighton, Huddersfield, Stoke, Albion, West Ham, Swansea, Everton, Bournemouth and Palace. They are currently placed in that order. Brighton and Huddersfield will run out of steam to some extent after the promotion excitement wears off. Stoke, Albion, West Ham and Swansea fit the profile of regular strugglers who will eventually run out of luck. Everton are in chaos, Bournemouth look like their time in the sun is up and Palace had an awful start. I do actually think though that Palace will survive. Hodgson has kept Fulham up (at Small Heath's expense) when they were as good as down with about half a dozen games to go. I reckon Bournemouth Stoke and Swansea will drop. Especially as Allardyce has declared his interest in the Everton job. They would be mad not to get him in the current state they are in.

The Boggies record 2nd half of last season and now so far this season is woeful. Only won 2.

Swansea and Palace will be relegated as they have been there or near about for the last 3 seasons. Clubs that hover around the drop for more than 2 season nearly always end up being relegated. Sunderland and us are prime examples.

2 wins in their last 19 league games, 3 in 22 and only 3 clean sheets in those 22. It would be very, very, funny if we went up and they were relegated.

It would shut my Tesco mates up but Ican't see it. There are worse teams than them. Only hope is the owners get panicky and sack him.

Just goes to show what can be achieved with decent coaching/management and having reasonable players alongside.

I think that is a bit unfair - having lived on Merseyside for over 20 years now I have only ever come across a handful of Evertonians with that attitude - in the main they are proud (as are we Villa fans) that our fixture is the longest standing fixture (in the top flight)
When we were relegated each and every Evertonian I know phoned/e-mailed or text me to offer their sincere regards in respect of coming straight back
I take no enjoyment from their current plight as I can empathise with everything they are going through right now.
Looking at our respective histories, club size, fan base etc I can think of no other club so similar to our own - even though we think ourselves unique!l
Hoping we are not playing each other in the second tier next season - as that would make it even tougher for us to get promoted if we don't do so this season

After the way they shafted a charity close to my heart I'm very much enjoying their current problems.

Sorry to hear that Chris - I too have heard some shocking "stories" about how Lerner disrespected Acorns at the end of his tenure - I have no proof as to the validity of the anecdotes, however, if true it is a big shame.
