So true about the crowds. Big home crowds can create extra pressure in the lower leagues and other teams love going to the bigger grounds. It was tough for City, Leeds, Sunderland, and many others. The weight of expectation can kill you and that's not a problem for clubs like Bournemouth and Fulham. The best chance is to bounce back in the first season because, after that, it just gets harder.

Maybe. We found it relatively ok to be honest. Don’t think we were ever out of the Prem for more than 3 seasons and that was when we went Prem/div1/2/1/Prem. Obviously the likes of Leeds, Forest and Sunderland have though.

We stayed in div 1 for a season before dropping again.

96 - relegated
97 - stayed
98 - relegated
99 - promoted
00 - promoted

1996/97 was the great forgotten season.

In a way, going down can bring the fans back together and the away days are special.
You need to have thick skin and desire. You also see the proper fans that stick together through the good and bad times.

Relegation is a test of loyalty. I've been talking to my brother about it a lot and we're both resigned to the very real probability of Everton going down, but he's still renewed his season ticket regardless. My City fan uncle didn't stop supporting them when they went down the toilet.

Everton to ask why Matip challenge on Gordon was not given as penalty in Merseyside derby

Everton will contact the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) to query why a challenge they feel should have led to a penalty was not reviewed further in the Merseyside derby.

If / when the truth about corruption in the PL comes out, I've a notion that yesterday's game will be re-visited as one of the more blindingly obvious examples. Future generations will probably be astonished that everything was so blatant but nothing ever done about it.

One year relegation doesn't lose many fans. It is if Everton stay down for 2 or 3 years. But the new ground will keep a number of fans though, I suspect if Liverpool continue to do well Everton may 'gain fans' as people want to stick together even more.

Gordon did exactly the same in a recent Everton game, I think when they defeated Newcastle. Seem to recall he was booked. He gets in front of his man and places his leg and body in front of the defender to draw the foul. To me it’s gamesmanship but should be a penalty; when a defender does it when ushering the ball out, the slightest touch from behind will lead to him collapsing and a foul being given, so the same should apply. He’s just too quick and the defender is too careless. If it were Foden doing it, we’d applaud his speed and cunning.

Football is not just about winning and glory ? Your club means much more than that.
But it's a cruel game in modern times with the media and social media because the winners also love to stick the boot in when you're down.

i will never ever forget the bad times at Manchester city because it also ran alongside united winning everything.
utd fans loved sticking the boot in ? They even had a banner ticking up the years without silverware.

everton are in a mess both on and off the field ? The trouble and debt is being hidden behind the new stadium
also FFP are sniffing around with over spending. If Everton go down, all sorts of stuff could come out of the cupboards and everton could end up like a derby county

We had two seasons in Division One, between the Premier League and Division Two.

Ball, Neal, Coppell, Hartford and Clark.

No wonder it’s forgotten!

That was around the time that SuperKev Mk I joined us.

Five promotions or relegations in six seasons with City, I believe.
 
Well I've given it almost a day and I can only make one conclusion about yesterday's Merseyside Derby: corruption was very much apparent. How did Mane stay on the pitch. The foul on Gordon in the box should also have been a pen and a red. Henderson later on kicked Richarlison on the ground but all the biased commentators talked about was Richarlison's retaliation. It's all so bent.

I know Richarlison and Gordon are divers but they do get fouled. That was 100% a penalty.

Time after time after time the Gruesome Twosome get favours. English Football has been so bent for so long now. Its wrong that people almost accept it that it's like this. Nobody should. Liverpool and the rags get so much help year after year. At the moment the rags are too shit even to capitalise. The Dippers are being handed this title but I hope and pray that City boys keep their nerve and just win these last five games.

I wish Everton well. They gave it their best shot and were cheated out of at least a point. I want back stabbing, six fingered, Nasty Nine Burnley down.

Ah, that's better. Time for a brew.

That’s the problem with a lot of Liverpool fans, especially the foreign ones online. They just cannot get their heads around the idea of supporting a team who don’t win trophies. Or enjoying a match for the hell of it. Scunthorpe are out of the Football League but their fans will still go. Non-league teams have fans, FFS. Glory hunters do not get it. The City fans I know were around long before you got big.
