If Madrid beat us (Match 5), they play for 5th? Have they got that the wrong way around?

 

They have got this wrong. They have made a few other mistakes over the last couple of days such as the kick off time for Everton Real Madrid. I think it will be corrected by the end of the day.

Welcome and enjoy the banter / differing opinions!

So he earned less points, and, got them relegated, but hey ho, we'll have him.

 

Whoever gets the job at Everton should be the most proven and best, of all the candidates. If that proves to be Martinez, great, but there are lots of managers in the world, and Martinez has not earned the opportunity in my eyes.

 

I couldn't give a toss if they have won a cup. Managing a Prem team over 38 games is very different, and Martinez has done shite in his time in the Prem.

I don't see how you can say he has done shite in his time in the prem. I for one think he has done a very good job with a low budget, terrible attendances and he gets them to play a decent style of football. I think you need to look at his time at Swansea as well as Wigan. He (along with Sousa) transformed them into the club they are today. His team on winning the league, easily out scored every other club and the goal difference was huge. I believe it's important that we build on what Moyes has started and simply by looking for the same 'style' of manager we won't progress. We also need a manager who has the right characteristics for this great club. I don't want a whinger, blame everybody except themselves type of person. Everton need another loyal, intelligent, hardworking and tactical manager. Martinez fits this criteria. As long as we don't get Lennon I'm happy (& of course Hughes!)

They still spent more money back then than they do now.

In 2010 according to that article their net spend is more than there spend. Impossible!

Terrible team, terrible football surely an emphatic win. On a side note they've given big Sam a two year contract extension so at least we won't be getting him!!!

Lets not forget what Martinez did at Swansea. He made them into the club they are today and along with Sousa is responsible for the attractive football Swansea still play now.

I think he deserves a very warm send off. Eleven years in today's football climate is a great effort. You have to take into account the poor finances he had available and he has left us in a much better position. If it was more than 2 games then I'd agree that he should step aside but our position of 6th is almost confirmed regardless of the next two results. I for one will be giving him the accolade he deserves tomorrow. Thanks Mr Moyes and for me I hope Martinez is his replacement.

Leave him on we'll get them on the break

Dodged a bullet there

Good interview with Arteta, I hope he forgets a few times and passes to a blue shirt!

Well a struggle but we got there in the end. I hope we get drawn against my local team now after MK Dons caused an upset.

I beginning to think that bringing back lescott is a good idea

 

If the price was right and he can score from a set piece

 

How annoying went to check up own the children and we scored. Typical! Still I'm not complaining.

This is looking brighter

I love the fact that he always looks for a forward pass and then if its not on he goes back or sideways. Is there any chance Neville could watch this.

 

I am not saying we would have won the game but it would have given us a far better chance of winning , yes you did have most of the play but as you know that dont always mean a win . I agree with you that it was not a dirty game and if we had a more experienced and fair ref ( hard to get nowadays I know ) it would have been a more enjoyable game to watch and easier to swallow however the result turned out

 

I don't think any/many of us would disagree with that. Poor refereeing ruined the game. However that has been the story of our season so far!

 

The way things have gone this season that miss may prove costly. They will always have a goal in them from a set piece.

 

Get in

 

I hate inconsistency, it was identical to the penalty Liverpool conceded last week. We certainly aren't getting the rub of the green this season!

 

 

With the amount of baldies about I'm shocked Thomas Gravesen and Lee Carsley haven't had a vote!

However, he's getting 8 mill a year to Know how to fix it.....I'll do that for half of what he's getting!

 

I think I'll stick with Moyes!

There wasnt anyone outstanding so had to give it to Felliani. Reason being if it wasn't for him we old of lost.

 

We invite pressure onto ourselves.
