How has the downturn affected your life?

[Toffeelover]

Pretty bad.

I'm furious with the players. If I see another half arsed display I'll be letting them know about it too.

I want to see TACKLES!!!! When we're not in possession and I want to see aggressive passing and runs!

Regardless of what any of us say about the manager, we all want exactly what you say from an Everton side regardless of who they are playing or in what comp' But it is not all on the players, some respnsibilty lies with the manager. Remember in the interview his comment on defence not being important!

Made me very grumpy. Got into a spat with a new poster yesterday, that Chelsea "fan" from South Korea.

Not very mod-like really.

Everton eh.

 

[Khalekan]

In a strange way I'm looking forward to Tues night and the following two home games more than usual. Now we're in a bit of trouble it makes everything that little more interesting.

I know exactly what you mean.

I have seen us clinch the league title several times and seen two different skippers loft the Cup at Wembley.

I was at Rotterdam.

But the highlight of my match going career is ans will always be Wimbledon Day.

It is times like these we realise his much our beloved Grand Old Team means to us.

What interview is this?

Because he's clearly said it is important in countless interviews as detailed in the Everton like Wigan thread.


People have misquoted this everywhere. He's never said defending is not important.

 

[PhilM]

I swear more at the football. I swear more at MOTD. I have no Everton players in my current Fantasy Football team. Haven't for weeks.

Apart from that, I'm pretty good at separating football from real life.

Can't believe Martinez said we punched above our weight last year in that interview a couple of weeks back.

Just before New Years Eve " I don't work on having a good defensive record to win things."

 

[Chang Elephant]

No point in watching MOTD when we're getting snotted

He's said something similar to this before. He said before the derby you have to expect to concede one but to be able to outscore to win things.

However he's never said he doesn't believe in defending and you cannot find a source of such a quote if you tried.

I'm still in shock tbh

Thats Evertonianism for you that mate,I know it too welllol

 

[paulbefc]

It hasn't really affected the rest of my life, bar not watching MOTD. I'm reading less GOT due to the meltdowns and utter tosh getting posted and I'm opening a much smaller number of threads for the same reason. Small net gain in quality of life, overall, I'd say.

 

[EvertonRhys]

Slipped back into my depression over the past week. Mind you, that's probably more to do with the time of year than Everton, although the run has made me a lot more unwilling to tolerate the rubbish we've seen them play!

Also present at the Wimbledon game. Insanity. I think a load of blues kicked out of their apathy with that as the following seasons had much better attendance.

Never again. You listening Martinez?

What's this match of the day you are all on about????
