Can he manage us to a cup win? Yes. Should it be expected? No.

Bit of an about-face from: 'We'll tonk that leicester' isn't it? :coffee:

Wel, you live and learn mate. Who could have thought their freak season would persist?

That said, we should have won that day and would have done if the officials had done their jobs.

I reject that position that Martinez has no excuses to not win the FA Cup now. How entitled can you be - and in a season when just about any team can beat just about any other. It's an arrogance that'll haunt us if we succumbed to it. Also, it's as if Martinez has none of the burden of history to secure a trophy that all his other predecessors were able to get away with carrying and failing with.

Can he manage us to a cup win? Yes. Should it be expected? No.

No matter what devek, I think this is the best chance in over 20 years. Crystal Palace, Watford and West Ham/Man United...just have to do this now. I understand we shall not take things for granted but I guess Martinez is also desperate to prove himself there. Fingers crossed. Everton will win a trophy and could be the time now.

@Little Ralphy you little snake I'm not seeing you like many posts?

Give us a chance lad, I didn't get in til 3 and the kids had me up at 6. It's been a while since we had anything to celebrate after a home game. I don't live on here like you seem it would seem, I much prefer to enjoy my footy and all that goes with it.

Quick one on the game. The result was great, Lukaku is immense, not the best of games as a whole but result was all that mattered. I thought the subs were very telling especially after the backlash from last week.

They weren't your socks lad. Mick sent a photo.

I can confirm they were indeed Goat's socks. I was there when the photo was taken, about an hour after the final whistle ( he says, trying to make the post vaguely on topic ).
