Dave mate, your not actually Roberto Martinez so stop with the hurt butt that baines stuck his knife in his back like brute did.
As a matter of interest though, you reckon Baines is still playing crap?

I'll be gutted the day he leaves. One of those players that was never the most gifted but really worked at his game, grafted really hard and was never afraid to put his body on the line for us. Met him a few years back and he was as sound as they come. Real pity it looks like he'll not lift any silverware for us.
@davek i know it's off topic but there's something I really want to know bud... what do you do for a living man? Everytime I come on here morning, day or night your on here winding people up. You have access to the internet so im assuming you have a home and an income but then on the other hand it doesn't look like you have time for employment dude. Whatever job it is I want to do that as it seems a pretty sweet deal.

If you are genuinely interested, take it to a private message.
If thus was intended as a wind-up, please desist.

One of my favourite players of the premiership era.
Pre injury in 09 he was finest defender in the entire league. I wish he and Arteta and indeed the Yak could have played in that final. I truly believe the outcome would have been different.
He could have left on numerous occasions but has always held this club in the highest regard. I would be sad to see him go but every player reaches their nadir.
The task now is to find the next Jagielka to take us into a brave, exciting new era.

In line with the rest of the team he's marginally improved.
He doesn't do anything as he once did before though. We need an upgrade. Obviously that's not happening this January, so hopefully it'll happen in the summer.
Baines is DEFO one of us, right?

yes Dave, left back is an urgent area we need to upgrade the starter in, then again you stated last season that both Oviedo and Galloway should be playing ahead of Baines anyways didnt you? can go the vaults on that if you like

I think Im right in saying he supported Liverpool when he was growing up.
I just don't like him. He got involved in the politics of team affairs and agitated for a major change. Now, if he'd done that and left it at that after the issue was resolved it'd have been bad enough, but nowhere near as snide and cowardly as doing all that and then trying to score more points from it in interviews since then in order to set himself up as the injured party.
Can't abide the feller and I count the days until he leaves.
I like that he cares.
Most people wouldn't hold it against him that at 9 he followed his Dad's team before finding his own as a teenager...

Baines, brought up in Kirkby but rejected as a youngster by Everton and Liverpool, had been made aware of interest from David Moyes and the lure of playing at Goodison was too strong, even if Everton were not always his favourite club. "I actually started as a Liverpool supporter because my dad supported them and I hero-worshipped Robbie Fowler. He was another left-footer and I loved him. I'd go back to school and every time we played I'd pretend I was Fowler.
"I was only young, though, and I didn't like the hustle and bustle of the stands. I lost interest in Liverpool, but I still loved watching football. I was at the 1995 FA Cup final [when Everton beat Manchester United 1-0]. I went through a spell of liking Blackburn Rovers because they had Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton in attack. And then I started watching Everton properly when I was about 14. My mum wouldn't let me go on my own but my cousin was three years older than me so we'd get the bus, 50p from Kirkby, and then hang around outside until we could sneak in.
"We'd wait until they opened the gates after 75 minutes for the early-leavers to go. There were stewards on the gates and if they were in a good mood they would wink and let us in. One guy, in particular, used to look out for us. But sometimes, if we were unlucky, there would be a jobsworth on the door and we wouldn't get to see anything."
His schoolboy reminiscences, cheering on the team from the Gwladys Street end and tacking posters of Duncan Ferguson to his bedroom walls, may have contributed to his first-day nerves. But they are firmly behind Baines now. "As soon as I arrived I realised how normal everyone was," he says. "Everyone has bent over backwards to make me feel welcome and that has really helped me. It wasn't anything like as bad as I imagined and it's been surprisingly easy. I have felt at home from the first few days, whereas I didn't think that would be the case."

Yes, I stand by that too. But it's apparent that Koeman won't be doing it. Ergo, wel'll have to buy in.

Self interest. He never had a nailed down starting place and he had his nose put out of joint.
