    gethinO got a reaction from efc1111 in Now Martinez has gone, who should get the nod...   
    It would just kill any excitement we as fans had for the forthcoming season. Moyes had 10 years here ffs, it's not like he has unfinished business here. He was stale after about 8 years let alone starting his second bloody stint here. We'll be an absolute laughing stock if this happens. My mates who are Utd and Liverpool fans were always taking the piss when I wanted Martinez out saying that the only one we'd replace Martinez with is Moyes. It would be am embarrassing appointment and yet again show the lack of ambition we have.
     
    In an analogy terms, imagine going out with a girl for 10 years. You haven't got much money but nevertheless she's a solid girl who never lets you down and you think you've done very well for yourself. Yeah, she might be Scottish and ginger but she's a nice girl. After 9-10 years you and her have reached as far as you can in the relationship so you both end it on friendly terms. There's no ill feeling and you both move on.
     
    Meanwhile, you start to look for a new girl and stumble upon this Spanish girl dancing to Jason Derulo in a night club. You get chatting and she promises you that she'll take you places your previous girlfriend never could. You believe her. You start a relationship and it's absolutely mind-blowing for the first year - she's very polite with your parents and friends and very exciting in the bedroom! She actually is taking you to another world. A world you didn't think was possible so you start thinking that your previous Scottish girlfriend was actually not that good and she was in fact holding you back.
     
    However, things are not what they seem. The Spanish girl starts coming home late and comes up with excuse after excuse and you get tired of her bullshitting. The sex starts getting boring. Very one dimensional, the same position time after time and you get bored. She's a very stubborn one. It turns nasty. This Spanish girl and you start to drift apart. You didn't sign up for this. She was not the girl she made herself out to be. She could talk but didn't back it up. You end it on a sour note. Bye bye Spanish girl.
     
    You win the lottery. It's fantastic. You think to yourself 'right now that I've got money surely all the girls will want a bit of me. I'm a great catch.' You make a list of girls you thought were completely out of your league back in the day. You're confident all of a sudden. This is a new you. However, at the bottom of your list you scribble that Scottish girl you were once with for 10 years. More to be polite than anything else. Unfortunately, a few of the girls on your list start ruling themselves out saying they're committed to their current boyfriend. A Dutch woman seems keen on you. Very keen in fact. So keen her brother has been calling you trying to convince you that she's the one for you. You're not convinced. There's another Spanish girl on the list, but she's a bit older. Is she too old for you? Well she was pretty hot back in the day so maybe she could be a good catch for a few years or so? Again, you're unsure as she's known to be a bit of a gold-digger and has been known to spend money on stupid things. You start crossing names out one by one until you finally reach the bottom of your list and notice the name of your previous Scottish girlfriend. You think for a moment. Then, after some deep thinking, you aggressively cross her name out with a permanent marker and think to yourself 'I'm better than her'. She even disrespected you when she went with her new bloke. He finished with her. She moved to Spain and again found another bloke. As if she could get a tan, she was ginger. It was never going to work. He also finished with her. Then she flew back to the UK and now she wants more of you cause she's heard you've got some money. But you won't be fooled.... I hope.
     
    The moral of that story is there's plenty more fish in the sea (I think). There's more girls in the world than the Scottish and Spanish ones you used to be with. Be ambitious. There's some pretty good looking girls out there. Be brave, take a risk. You're a good catch now and the ball's in your court. Don't make a balls up with your decision!!

    I wish he would be employed by someone as the more he's out of a job I'm petrified that he'll be approached by us. I know he's down the list but I bet Kenwright has mentioned him to Moshiri and probably tried everything to convince him that he's the man. Villa would have been perfect for him.

    Whilst we're on the takeaway subject I had a chinese tonight as the Girlfriend is out with work. I had a Special curry with fried rice and chips. They chucked in free prawn crackers as well. Putting rice, a few chips and curry sauce on a prawn cracker and hearing the sizzling sound it makes.... Unbelievable.

    Glad you enjoyed. Conwy's nice - loads of good traditional pubs there and on a sunny afternoon it's beautiful. Love Caernarfon in its own little way as well. Spent most of my childhood growing up there and the people of Caernarfon are 'characters' so to speak!!

    Gethin. Originally from a village called Botnewydd, 2 miles outside Caernarfon in North Wales. Went to Bangor University which was a bit too close to home so living in Cardiff now since 4 years (right opposite the Cardiff city stadium - been to watch them once but felt nothing towards them so haven't been again... Mind you it was a freezing and wet Sunday afternoon in December and they drew 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday. By far the worst game I have ever seen!)
    I'm Welsh first language as you probably guessed from my name and I'm now teaching in a Welsh Primary School in Cardiff. I still don't know if I like teaching or not after four bloody years. Looking to stay in Cardiff for the distant future as it's a lovely city with so much things to do here compared to my previous home in Bontnewydd (bank manager would disagree though...) Still like visiting to see the old parents and I suppose with a teacher's holidays I'm able to do it easily.

    Sack Martinez tonight/tomorrow morning. Let Unsworth take charge for the Norwich game. Play the likes of Davies, Dowell, Connolly, Galloway and Holgate. It's the only way of stopping Goodison being absolutely horrible on Sunday.

    gethinO got a reaction from markjazzbassist in Ramiro Funes Mori   
    It's absolutely ridiculous the reaction on twitter and Aldridge agreeing with a fan that he should be put in prison just shows what an absolute tool he is. As has been mentioned above, they've got away with some horrific challenges over the years, none more than Mr captain fantastic himself but those have just been brushed under the carpet I take it? I despise them, they're bloody horrible the lot of them. I hope we get a new manager in who has a bit of a nasty streak about him and put a stop to the complete bottle job that we've been doing against for the last 20 years.

    Barkley been an absolute disgrace this first half. How many times has he given the ball away? It's not the fact that he loses possession that annoys me most though, it's his casual jogging back after a mistake like he can't be bothered to work back. Sort it out Ross. You're 22 now, not a 17 year old kid.

    Martinez is at the U21 match in Southport tonight. There's a photo on twitter of a fan that's gone up to him and abused him. I want him gone but that's going way too far. He's still a human being and there's a way to go about it rather than abusing him right in his face. Idiot.

    gethinO got a reaction from dlblue in Pienaar   
    Martinez seems to give the silent treatment to quite a few of our players. As much as I didn't like him, McGeady said that he had to move away for game time having been frozen out basically. Gibson hasn't been in the squad for the last 5 or 6 games. Same happened to Distin. These have been good servants for the club (McGeady apart) and the least he could do is tell them if they have a future here or not. I think Pienaar will be off in the summer and rightly so but surely out of respect you tell him now so he can start looking for clubs rather than delay everything until May. Bit of a strange way to manage the players in my opinion.
