Cake

He's too raw and inexperienced to be of use to us at the moment. We should look at today, for now, not the future.

We need Kevin Campbell, not Joel Campbell.

He seems like a massive Prima Donna, to me. I remember seeing him when he was ar Anzhi whenever anyone didn't put it on a plate for him he was moaning and pointing like he was playing with amateurs, almost demeaning them. Chelsea obviously weren't keen to hang on to him either.

He's just a name. Good riddance.

^^^ We could be in the relegation zone and Liverpool in 1st place and I wouldn't cancel this trip!

Now that's what I call an Evertonian!

My earlier post was a lame attempt at purging the disappointment of Monday night onto you and I take it all back. I love Everton as clearly do you.

COYB!

Now my fish finger and plastic cheese sandwiches are legendary round here I say legendary round here and I'm told my boiled rice is lovely and fluffy but I don't think that will quite cut it for the Assistant Head Chef job being advertised in the Club section of the official site.

So if any of you out there can cook and fancy working for the greatest club in the world get on it, as Ray might say. You have until 30/1/15, or until 1/30/15 if you're American.

Unless you are wealthy enough to have money to burn on a trip like this I would cut my losses and get as much of a refund as possible. After tonight's latest debacle it is likely to be nothing but aggravation in the pub(s) and a total embarrassment on the pitch neither of which I would travel 5,000 miles for, or however frigging far it is! You couldn't choose many worse times to come here just keep your hopes high and your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

Steven Naismith, speaking about Kevin Mirallas' half-time substitution: "The manager came in and had his normal team-talk at half-time. I think Kev has come off with an injury. Think that is what it was more than anything else, he never came in the changing room so I am sure it was an injury.

He must have done it twatting the fuck out of that penalty seconds before!

If Cake is rightm about him not being there at half-time, he can fuck off

Reported on five live. Still listening. Five live waiting to try and speak to Martinez who has said "he felt his hamstring and we needed dynamic players in the second half". Martinez can fuck off with him!

Naismith interview after game tonight - Mirallas didn't even show in dressing room at half time!

Ta ta Kev!

After yet another pedestrian, clueless performance tonight following two uplifting performances in the cup spurred on by late goals against a side we usually beat, Martinez has to go because these players can't do what he wants them to do and we can't afford to buy a whole new squad. Martinez WIll take us down, within next three seasons.

Naismith just been on radio - Mirallas didn't even show in dressing room at half time!

Can't Control coming on for the Hammers.

And scores off his shin!

If a foul was given it was a yard inside the box. Penalty! Shithouse ref again! Kiss my arse!

Robles v good tonight

Another wanker for a ref!

Slaven Bilic

Wait until Man City get their hands on us! If Martinez isn't gone before then he won't or shouldn't be our manager after that game.

It is pointless to continue to ask people to do something they are unable to do. Most of our players can't do what Martinez expects or wants them to do. As it stands we will be 4 points, possibly 3, off 18th place in an hour or so. If we weren't in Europe Martinez would be sacked. Just because we're in Europe is no reason to keep him.

Soft. Spineless. Clueless.

Wigan!

In 1950 and last year, Arsenal won the cup without ever having to travel outside London. I see they have got a home draw again in the third round.

They beat Liverpool in the final in 1950 (after beating Chelsea in semi final after a replay)..... and Liverpool beat........ Everton (2-0 at Maine Road - that's Man City's old ground for non-pre-Etihad posters) in the other semi final

Anyone without a match ticket was not allowed in the main square. How they sorted that out I do not know.

Anyway, there were Merseyside police assisting the French. The Merseyside police identified a known hooligan and a drug dealer to the French as they were approaching the main square from a side street. The drug dealer was chased by plain clothes French police into the square, they caught and arrested him, some Everon started throwing bottles and so small uniformed squads were sent in to disperse fans from the centre of the square. They overreacted and misjudged the tear gas use but to them it may well have seemed there were scores or hundreds throwing bottles and they were few, sent in in small squads. The bleating about tear gas being used when children and families were around is typical as it's clearly OK for bottles to be thrown by our own without a single bleat about that scarring children or families for life nor infringing my human Ingurlish rights.

It was hardly World War 3 but let's face it the French wouldn't have been there if it was!

Ban Lille? It's always some other fucker's fault, to some.

Everton fans set off a blue smoke bomb in the main square. Riot and plain clothes police went apeshit and cleared square with tear gas, bullets and batons before retreating after being pelted with bottles. So, the only thing which will be remembered is Everton letting off a smoke bomb and throwing bottles.

It's also rumoured to take up to an hour to get in the ground after arriving there because of searches, security checks, drunk checks, ticket checks and putting any bag you are carrying in a cloakroom type place. All that needs to happen now is thousands miss kick off or most of the match and there will be something to worry about!

Rubber bullets currently being fired at Everton fans....

Not surprised after working on those cars all day.

New stadium news is wonderful and so close to our spiritual home, too. Looking forward to more detailed updates as they arise.

Do a lot fucking better than the shower of shite we had out Saturday

As for this cup, just use it to give an outing to some untried players and tactics and see how far we do or don't go.

If we miss out on europe on goal difference it will make a massive difference.

Thank fuck there are only 35 games left to put that right, then.
