    They could easily win all of those games, hopefully they **** up.
    it will be interesting...

    3 winnable games, win all three and they will be "back!!!!" - they'll certainly be up amongst it at the top, with all the top teams due to play each other.

    but anything less than 9 points will be a bit of crisis for them i reckon. a win and couple of draws would still see them off the pace.
    i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

      Its the curse of building history through commerce. The foundation of over 50% of their fanbase is/was Sky. Now they're no longer flavour of the month it will take no time for manure fans to begin 'saving' shirt money for other ventures.

      LFC have managed to survive because their history and success was built on emotion. And emotion (love) transfers itself down the generations even during the bad times. The emotional bond cannot be broken easily. The commercial one can.

      Expect slating news items about expensive deals falling through at the theatre of dead dreams soon. Its all looking rosy.
      One tit for another.

        Im hoping for them to stay in the cup comps for quite a while, without being too successfully so when they bomb in league, theres still a silver lining to keep Moyes. MoyesIn

          we need a control drift rather than a car wreck. a smooth downward spiral rather than a plummet
          removing all the weak links makes us stronger

          too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                  I'm sure that will be performance related so I'd imagine they're going to save themselves substantial amounts of money

                    They could easily lose all three too.
                    If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

                      That guy Chevrolet fired setting up this deal should be arrested.

                          Even better news, Chevrolet is pulling out of the UK market

                          I know it is a global game now but they'll be promoting a car marque that UK based fans cannot buy new

                              Stinks to high heaven that deal.That exec must have known they were pulling out of the UK, not to mention the over inflated value of the deal.

                              Wonder how much United paid him.
