Virtually every time I've seen them this season they've looked like a relegation team - after spending all of that money in the summer as well.
I hope they go down , along with Liverpool , united , arsenal and spurs they were the big five who started the premiership by holding the fa to ransom
That's what happens with past it OAPs at the back.
That's what happens when you bring back a past it granny shagger for no reason other than the fans love him because he's one of their own.
That's what happens when you buy players from Swansea.
They've spent very unwisely. 50m for Siggurson was ridiculous and as for buying Ashley Williams at age 32, what were they thinking? Expecting production from 32 year-old Wayne Rooney? The same.
They should be top 6 every year, now they're going to have to hire Alardyce just to stay up.
Nearly 40,000 through the gates every other week and their season is over before December. Someone's dropped a massive bollock there.
They sold Lukaku and bought 3 numbers 10s, plus a number 9 who is utter shite
They certainly appear to have spent poorly and also be in some disarray after the sacking of the manager.
Probably have just enough about them to escape the drop ( assuming the too good to go down tag doesn't apply). However, it's hard to see how they can challenge the top tier teams as each season the gap increases and they are doing their best to Avoid closing it.
Think the toffees are in a sticky situation, making a right toffee pudding of themselves
They bought Williams, they deserve everything they get.
One of only six clubs that have never been relegated from Premiership, City before they had money went down to League 1. I also remember Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool being in Division 2(now Championship) with us but I can't remember Arsenal and Spurs being relegated from Division 1(now Premiership)

Cardiff are on 16, same as Luton Town. Swansea on 9, same as Bristol City.

Thanks for the information Badly Ironed shirt,very interesting. I somehow forgot that Spurs were relegated in the 70,s but remember us beating them 3-2 in their double season 1960/61?
Also that Everton have longest stay in Division 1(Premiership) so perhaps they are due to fail this season!
