It'll certainly be a special moment, although not in the way Martinez imagines.

Got me laughing this,yeah I can see where you're coming from, but he can't say anything else can he ?
A repeat of the Southampton debacle is whats called for.
Martinez is quality, enough said.

Imagine him coaching in Spain and telling for example Betis fans it'd be great if they could hand Seville the title? He wouldn't do it, because he knows it would get him hung drawn and quartered.
I think our Roberto has been fed some dewy eyed nonsense from some divvy about the friendly Merseyside Derby....he'll be disabused of that notion the moment Liverpool get their hands on the title and they're taking the piss out him and Everton for doing so.
The feller's a diplomat. I reckon Martinez has his eyes way beyond Everton and doesn't mind the publicity and the plaudits for his nice guy approach. He's very instrumental in what he does career wise.

How would OFM have handled this ?
Thanks mate! Most of my blue friends like talking football with me because I try to avoid the tribalism which plagues both teams.
I think I prefer talking to rival fans anyway. I got banned from RAWK because I said that Suarez was guilty of racism after the FA report came out with the reason "go back to redcafe".
Can't believe you got banned off RAWK for having a dissenting opinion.... oh no, hang on, it's RAWK.

Yes, he can. He can say he's going out to win and leave it at that.

At least he's expecting to win the game, you wouldn't get that from Moyes against a title challenging team.

Right. That's it then. It's in the hands of the Gods.
In 4 hours I hope to have my first beer in the Thomas Frost.
May they smile on us from above, let us win, them loose and let City win the league, my vote is cast and maybe just maybe Liverpool can self destruct in their last 2 games.
Have a good day one and all, have fun, but be safe!!

There's one thing I'll say about Moyes: he'd never come out with rubbish like this Martinez is coming out with. No Everton manager would in all fairness.
Joe Royle: no chance.
Colin Harvey: no chance.
Howard Kendall: no chance.
..and if Duncan Ferguson ever became Everton manager he'd cripple anyone trying to suggest it.
It's a big mistake made by Martinez. Just look after your own concerns. There is nothing to be gained by siding with a local rival over football and everything to lose. He's stored up trouble for himself here for the future.

Unfortunately, yes.
Along with the majority, I'm a big fan of Martinez. I have to say though that it's moments like this that store up a lot of underlying resentment which can surface when things aren't going right in the future.
I personally think he's just had his Mike Walker moment that'll haunt him forever. Walker famously said a defeat to Liverpool wasn't too bad. He was battered with it when he was in trouble. And what Martinez has said is way beyond what Walker said.
It says it all that we've been discussing this for weeks and not one Evertonian - not even the whackiest on here - has said anything like that.
Stupid comment.
