The Eight Used Lives of Walton Cat

I don't believe in devils and angels or gods will but there's something strange about the number of instances now Merseyside's finest have avoided a relegation resting on the final day of a league season. It's not luck, it's not good fortune, maybe it's something supernatural, but the number of times they should have been (rightfully) dropped from the EPL only to survive a final day is now approaching bizarre.
For what it's worth today was yet another example. Had not for one goal Toffees would have succumbed to relegation but lo and behold it went to plan and a great escape came to pass. From personal experience been with it years back and maybe times change and things aren't really the same sensation as once before but it's a big club, a proud name and rich in tradition and history. Relegation today wouldn't have been the end of it all but would have been real tough to make it back particularly at a first attempt. They've had unbroken membership of the top division since the mid 1950's, imagine that for a moment. Sorry for Leicester, but when push comes to shove there can be no impartiality.
I got tangible relief they survived another 'escapade' but they're running out of lives now should further instances as today come to pass in years ahead. No trophy wins in 28 years also. Sure fans enjoyed today's "accomplishment" but they need to be fighting for honors in a more successful sense then leaving it to chance time and again against a clear and present relegation threat. That's it.
