I realise we're the club with the least experience of relegation of anyone and I am proud of that. But there's a level of fear about it which I think is over the top.

I mean 1) it's hard to get relegated, a club with our team and our budget shouldn't have anything to fear. I mean Mike Walker never sent us down, ffs and he was trying really hard. If Martinez can keep up last year's wigan, he can keep up us and 2) when a big team gets relegated they tend to come straight back up again rather than decline. It's not the end of the world by any means.

I was vehemently and hugely against him based on what I saw as his under performance at wigan. Even after they thrashed us, I blamed that more on us than them.

Then I looked into the finances to do a thread about wigan and I appreciated a bit better how difficult his situation was. So I started to come around a little as to him as a fallback option if we couldn't get someone I actually wanted.

But then he took a team out in a big game against a vastly superior team for the biggest stakes and they were cool, calm, classy and worthy winners.

And that's won me over, entirely. I still think we'd finish bottom half under martinez but if he can produce another cup run like that and keep us playing easy on the eye football, I'd take it.

Still speechless at these two comments.

I've consistently argued that finished 7th with no trophies is worse, to me. than finishing 12th with the league cup and that managers at mid table clubs should be judged entirely by their performances in cups for about five years, though. I dunno why it still surprises you at this point.

We are Everton lad, we are not a mid table team.
