Interested in why you dismissed the 1st caller as a 'divi'?

@Bungle it was

Was it you?

If so, I thought it was utterly pathetic to want us to NOT repeat NOT win the cup just to guarentee he goes.

I mean FFS

he could still be binned off, no way would I sacrifice a cup for something that'll ultimately play itself out.

I think he was scared and trying to make the point that if winning the cup meant Martinez didn't get binned then he would prefer not to win it. Some might argue that's putting the longer term interests of the club first. Others of course would argue he's a 'divi'.

I honestly day dream about winning cups, no lie. I'm not sure what I'd do with myself being surrounded by 30'000 Evertonians and Queens We are the Champions, is belted out followed by Z-cars. It couldn't be anymore limbs, I'd self combust with joy.

He provided a that, baring in mind it's the last 90 minutes of the season (so nothing to bring me back down to ground) I'd be hard pushed to come on here and want him out vocally, no mater how much I was goaded.

I've never wanted him and stood to that and took any opportunity to stick it to him, but he provides a cup win then, I'll give him the fist half of the first match next season to get us going.

Can't say fairer than that.

A cup win, highly unlikely at the moment, would make it a little harder to be so vocal about wanting him gone. But that's the problem with this Everton team under him. So many times this season ive been dragged back in only to be fuming again the following week. A cup win wont make that go away I feel. He has to show he can manage a league campaign so for me these last 8 games are all cup finals for him. That Anfield trip coming up is the one I'm looking at. Thats the game where he has to prove he's the man to take is into next season. A fluky underserved 1-1 wont do it.

Sorry mate. If he didn't mean it and was just trying to exaggerate his stance, then fair enough. But if he genuinely meant that he would sacrifice a Cup win to get Martinez out a potential 6 months earlier then I disagree. He's a Divi.

Well this sums up some of the sheer nonsense we are hearing. Fans have spent a season suggesting the problem is results don't match performance. But it seems we go to Anfield and despite all the tension that brings and the sheer one off uncertainty that defines a derby, we want the players to know that a good performance won't matter without a result and a result won't matter unless it's deserved and without luck. Ignoring the fact that we are owed a whole chunk of luck against them.
Liverpool at Anfield. Should be fierce. Should be all about pride. And some of you are going there to judge your own team.
Don't say it much but... embarrassing
