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

[ilikecheese]

If I offended your sensibilities by my quip I apologise. However for a club of Evertons stature a semi final appearance although to be applauded, isn't particularly rare. Unless we are now comparing ourselves to Wigan.

3 semifinals in 25 years...poo poo it all you want.

5 mate.

Not FA Cup semis.

 

[blue to the bone]

Not FA Cup semis.

4 isn't it

 

[ilikecheese]

4 isn't it

3 since we last won it. 09, 11, and 16.

 

[Sentinel]

And a final under Moyes... I'm still not getting your point. Unless you agree we've underachieved during that time.

OK. But he said 3 in 25 years. It's 4 goin by that

Meant to say 21.

 

[Sentinel]

Again you're mis-representing what I said in my initial point. I stated clearly from 2002-03. Which is 14 years, you're the one who arbitrarily started back to 94-95. If you want we could go even further back, but I don't think that would help the point that you are attempting to make.

 

[Sentinel]

As it stands at the moment, according to your argument, Gordon Lee, who achieved two semi-finals and a 3rd and 4th place finish, with 3 points for a win resulting in a higher points total in the league than Martinez, could therefore be viewed as a more successful manager.

Can the secret police hunt down those that voted for Rafael in the hypothetical replacement thread please.

GOT needs its own Nuremburg Trials.

On the evidence of this season I'd rather have played them away

Go directly to the bin bin. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200

I think Ian and daz must be in the fuhrer bunker trying to organise a last stand.

i want Moscow show trials. GOTers publicly denouncing one another and naming the plotters at the heart of the conspiracy.

 

[LAToffee]

On a serious note: we win the cup and he joins a select group of Everton managers. I said that before we got dumped out of the Europa last year.

Big chance to get a roll on. Beat Arsenal this weekend and kick on in the league. Still a derby to play, and a win there would do wonders for fan support. Win the cup and he's forever the man that broke our trophy drought.

He still has chances.
