Did I miss us hitting Sunderland for 7 under Martinez??
Well, I'm a traditionalist in the sort of metrics I use for this kind of thing. Moyes kept us consistently in the top half of the table on a shoestring budget, even breaking the top 4 monopoly, in 11 years of service. Martinez spent 3 seasons here, most of which were spent trying to avoid relegation scraps.
For the record, I really like Martinez and he was a massive breath of fresh air. But there's simply no comparison.
Actually, Moyes' last season with us was the best football I've seen us play in my time supporting Everton

That's nonsense. If you think those two seasons were relegation scraps mate you mustn't have been around to witness real one's in the 90s.
I said "avoiding relegation scraps". In that, he narrowly kept our noses out of the genuine potential to be relegated. That still wasn't good enough. Frankly, I lay most of the blame at the door of the players, but it wouldn't have happened under Moyes' watch regardless

In the eye of the beholder, but we played about half a dozen decent football games in that season...and you know if he'd have stayed he'd have had those players back on the short leash as soon as they suffered a couple of back to back defeats.
he was a neanderthal manager. I place him in the same category as Alardyce, Pulis and Bruce.
Is that the same Bruce that got wigan up to 11th before Martinez strolled in and got them relegated?
That Bruce?

The very same Buffalo headed no mark, yes.

It was clear what he meant Dave, for all the years since the Premier League's beginning we'd spent every season (except 95-96) in or around the relegation zone, Moyes stopped all the and established us as a best of the rest club. Obviously not were we'd like to be but a thousand times better then what we'd been for over a decade or were we are now thanks to your beloved.
don't sugar foot around Davo, rip into him

It's amusing, I won't deny, but spectacularly bizarre
