Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

Who is the joker putting money on Martin O'Neill as our next manager?! 7/2 joint favourite on Paddy Power lol!

 

[Hangleton]

I wonder how many of our players will be off to Leicester for Campions League?

 

[nsno-chris]

72 points, we almost won the league if this had been 3 years ago. So in theory a potential second place finish and 2 semis

Bobby IN

Allez allez oooh

Orly and The Esk.
And someone called Blue Fox.

 

[blue to the bone]

Leicester win the title with 77 points. Spurs second on 70 points. Then people wonder why Roberto's first season total is underlined as a major benchmark for us.

We'll wonder no more.

72 points is the target for any new man with loads more cash. No excuses. Get them or frig off.

Leicester can still get 83 and spurs 76 just to scupper your argument a bit

...clearly you need to up the meds then mate.

If he stays for a full season Everton get relegated. If he stays until Christmas our new man is in a relegation fight...Big Sam anyone? I thought not. Get rid now, he cant do it in this league. GET RID NOW!

 

[davek]

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If an "ale house team", your words, can get more points, how impressive REALLY is 72?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. You'll learn how impressive it is mate. It took 30 years to get a points total that matched the team of the 1980s points totals, and it'll be another few years before it's even got near to again.

Y'all be getting properly WUM'd by David

And it will be another few years before we look like relegation fodder again once the clown has been sacked and we get a professional in to manage the side.

And Arsenal @ 73 if they win out. But hey, 72 points. And fifth. That is how things get done.

Put a tenner on yourself and you'll go joint favourite with him.

Probably another 30 years till somebody gets the 16 points Villa have got this season as well.

Anyway, thanks for the first season Roberto, if only you didnt throw it all away over the last 24months, hope he enjoy the SPL.

 

[davek]

And of course, completely irrelevant. Different seasons, different performances from teams all throughout the league.

Whatever the season 72 points is blistering for us.

I sincerely doubt well get near it again anytime soon. But that will be the new managers task and he'll stand and fall on how close he can get near to it.

Why would someone even put a tenner on him though lol!

You are a bit kneejerk there mate. I reckon this is a trait of many on this forum. I'm guessing you are quite young and imbued of Gen Y's predilection toward 'instant gratification'. Us holder heads cut a manager a bit more slack...say 3 years?
I would genuinely hope that the new fella gets that time to show his wares, before you young hotheads 'hold his feet to the fire'.
