Happy with today. I like Everton and - like all sane humans - despise Leeds. So all's well that ends well.

Dyche achieved what the club wanted. They got away with it two years in succession. Like the Bluebirds, they were very fortunate there were three s***e teams below them in the end. The way the club has been managed, they didn’t deserve it

I think both Everton and Leicester were much better than the other 2 relegated teams. 5 or 6 seasons ago they would have been comfortably safe IMHO.

I've no idea what you are talking about. I'm just happy Everton survived, they are the only member of the EPL royalty that I dont dislike.

Why?
They are part of the original break away Premier crew.
Their fans are bitter as **** and I know plenty of plastics who jumped on mid 80’s.

Anthony Bellew typifies them.
Horrible, bitter with delusions of grandeur.

I'd say they were streetwise. Typical Dyche. I thought they were second best on the pitch in terms of playing football, but it's not just about being able to pass the ball and Bournemouth were slow and just went through the motions.

Is it me, but is time wasting becoming more and more of a thing in football? Last couple of minutes maybe is ok, but it seems now that teams are happy to waste time from early in the second half if they're in front.

Streetwise

Cheating is another word for it as that's what it is

Whatever team does it

Bookings don't seem to deter players from diving. I hardly think yellow cards will stop players from time wasting.

I think it's time to issue red cards for blatant offences in both.

Allsop would be suspended for most of the season. Which would be a good thing. So I’m all for it.

Premier league fans are complete tarts

Everton and Leeds fans have at various points this season heard to be doing this pathetic group booing

Until they scored goodison park was deathly quiet

Now the greatest fans in the league

Thank god they didn't go down there would be mass suicide if they had to play in the Championship

:hehe:

He's got to be the worst keeper we've had since, erm, Mark Walton. Alexander was signed when we got promoted to the third tier, and we've not had a keeper as crap as Allsop since.

That Jonathan Pearce is a twat as well

Another way over the top type

Nauseating 🤢

Sean Dyche talking as though his plans worked ff sake

He will be gone by Xmas if they struggle again

No mention of Fat Frank who tried to relegate two teams in one season? I think he deserves a special award for that effort.

Anyone agree with my theory that every football fan should experience their team being relegated at least once in their life to get a feeling of perspective and to help enjoy the good times more. I’m 67, butif I were an Everton fan, I wouldn’t have seen my team relegated, or promoted, in my lifetime. That must lead to a feeling of entitlement and intolerance (I’d definitely say that’s true at Arsenal who are in the same situation as Everton) - Everton have deserved to go down a few times in the last thirty years or so, but you’d think they should be okay, if a bit boring, now under a safe pair of hands type like Dyche.

This partially explains it. The piece about an advance on TV rights that they’ve now lost is scary and wipes out their parachute payment, as is letting the contracts of so many players run down.

Booked for diving ???

Glad others picked up on the diving. Gray is a talented player but dear god the amount of time he spends falling over and sitting on his arse complaining about it.

Thought it was a very strange game to not play Calvert-Lewin (or even Maupay?) to be honest, think he'd have given them another dimension and felt sure we'd see him after half time. Think Dyche is quite lucky he got the wonder goal otherwise there would be a lot of questions today. They were crying out for somebody to hold up the ball in the Bournemouth box rather than getting physically outmuscled and provide a target for the crosses with Bournemouth allowing them space out wide.

Calvert-Lewin was out injured as usual.
