Chach

I'm still trying to work out how you can be pedantic 70% of the time.

who cares, 6 minutes until the greatest show on earth

Quoting for full support!

It actually is though.

Not strictly all about McGeady, but he does feature as an example and is arguably the worst acquisition under Booby. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/04/clubs-calculate-cost-transfer-market-leicester-southampton

I'm kinda assuming the bean counter is going to be more conservative than the song and dance man, especially being his first gig. Moyes is 2-1 favourite with the bookies, only Mancini and Pellegrini are close at 6-1.

Plus, Ranieri has kinda thrown down the gauntlet.

All we need is a one who thinks our squad is close enough to Champions League, its their job to get us there. Surely we'd be a low risk, low pressure proposition for someone like Mourinho given his recent situation, he'd be given plenty of time and money and if he doesn't get the nod from Man U then there's not too many EPL clubs looking which is where he's said he wants to stay.

and revert to shambles.

that could happen to anyone haha

!!!

Methods exposed, straight into the ad hominem. Stay classy Haf.

Your point was not correct, and when giving a definition its not plagiarism just to give the standard (UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD AFTER FIRST YEAR UNI) definition, you are not required to put it in your own words like its primary school to show you understand it. And your example was very poor, the respondent has not misrepresented your ideas just presented their own as to why he they think his touch and technique are not as important as you making out. It needed much more information. I have never misrepresented you. If you go back and read it you'll see you made assumptions about what you thought I might mean in my question to you, and then responded to that. I apologise for confusing you.

No it's not, a straw man is when you misrepresent somebodies argument and then proceed to refute it, typically in your case like you are in some kind of life and death battle for Toffee Talk internet supremacy. Yes, I agree it also happens to you quite a lot. Two wrongs don't make a right

Lol, you give advice on debating and throw out straw man after straw man. Hilarious.

That's way further than I went mate.

Case in point of your extreme arrogance, you made your mind up on Martinez a couple of weeks ago., now the rest of Toffee Talk must fall in line behind you. All hail the oracle, he has spoken and it will be so. I am not defending Martinez, I am defending the team and I can't do that with defending him by default, because he is not 100% at fault for the situation we find ourselves in.

Right now the Everton football team is going through a period of depression, the last thing you do with someone thats depressed, especially when you love them, is get on their back. COYB.

That's the difference between me and you though, I actually don't think my views are that important and I don't care about how right they are because at the end of the day I support Everton and the people appointed to manage and play for the club. I make a habit of not getting emotional about things that I have no control over, I find it's very good for my mental health. I hope he/they can turn the season around, we've got some good games coming up and I'll be damned if I'm not going to enjoy every last fucking minute of them.

Seem to remember you making many a passionate post about what a great job he did at Wigan.

I don't think you've grasped the concept of what I posted, I don't care about Wigan or where they finished, he over achieved while he was there and the club loved him even after they got relegated because they recognised his achievement. You could argue he over achieved in his first season with us, and if we get anywhere near the top 10 win the FA cup final this year its going to be pretty hard to argue that's not our best season in quite a while regardless of how many times we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Can't see the board hitting the panic button in our current position, don't know why we don;'t just ratchet down the hateometer a few notches and try and enjoy the rest of the season.

Martinez is 2.5 seasons through his first spell at a club of half decent means, he's 42 years old. Anyone who is saying he is not capable of learning is very likely very wrong, go back and have a look at the "better" managers being touted and their early records. Its not whether he will learn that is the issue, it's whether we are happy to go along for the ride now our financial situation has improved, and who we can realistically get to replace him. I am still amazed that the Bobby Out static is this high a few weeks out from a Wembley semi final. Mental.

“We expect a senior figure at Everton to take responsibility, to make sure that we speak on the pitch, and the way to do that is against Watford.” Hope Bill and Faz don't misinterpret this as "I am the most senior figure at the club and if I don't get a result at Watford then I expect to get sacked"

There's your swinging gate right there.

You're getting hysterical now mate, during which part of RM's career below do you think he developed the above mentality? Starting to get ridiculous, everyone putting 2 and 2 together and getting eleventymillion.
