Forums are for making arguments and sharing opinions. You are insulting people. You and other people like you make this forum toxic and humorless and increasingly the laughing stoke of most Evertonians. Give your head a shake and stop dissing other Evertonians.

I have a suggestion mate...put me on ignore. If a little cold hard truth discomfits you so, pains your sensibilities, then perhaps you are in the wrong place.

So you gave the players credit for last week, obviously you gave Martinez some credit as well?

See I did as well - he deserved it. I thought "maybe this is him learning how to actually play and stopping the crap that usually happens"... as I have for the 10th time this season, to go with the several times it happened last season.

5 good games a season don't make a season good.

Isn't this what Dave is doing as well though? Only fair both camps have one at least hey.

Don't see Davek calling people idiots. Just addressing their arguments. For me it's a fundamental difference.

It's all getting rather unsavoury here!

A bit like our results.

Out of curiosity, why have Niasse and Kone on the bench, if you're not going to use them when 2-0 down and you've got a sub up your sleeve?

Stop stalking me or I'll pretend I'm Turkish and watch you run.

The only way I'm running is towards you with a blunt weapon in this case.

He reckons today was a one off.

What was one off about it?

Id rather he just said Arsenal were/are better.

2 semi finals trophy. It's nothing...way worse than a 7th place trophy.

Even Brenda won that trophy

Lads. Honest to God, everyone wanted better home form this season, it is NOT good to see the home form shambles.

Howver, a midtable position and two cup runs to at least the SF spots and some are believing that gets you the sack!

Sorry, give your heads a wobble. Not happening. Your favourite hacks and 'experts' might provide you with some comfort and an echo chamber for your prejudices, but no one at Evetton FC are pulling triggers over that season record....and it could get much better in the FA Cup.

That ^^^ needs to be accepted.

Sorry, I can't agree with that at all.

Hypothetically, if two good cup runs (yet no actual trophy, yet...) and a mediocre league campaign are considered in your eyes to be a good season, does that mean Winning the League cup and FA cup and going down would also be deemed as a solid season?

We've got a big enough squad to compete in the league and on the domestic cup approach.

There is no excuse. Martinez has shown he's inept at being a top manager at this level.

Suspect because he has finally realised Kone is a bit crap and Niasse, I hope, isn't deemed ready.

Your arguments don't discomfit me. You don't make any. It's your sweeping insults that bother me, but I appreciate your suggestion and will follow it. Bye.

Honest question guys, I come on here every couple of months and read some of the lunatic ramblings of davek for a day or two and even with such sparse exposure it utterly exhausts me. How on earth do you lot cope arguing against him on a daily basis?

I'm not gonna do a chico and dig through 50 pages of mind-boggling posts to see the numerous times he's offended people by calling them various names just because they don't agree with him, but it has happened a lot. In fact he's done it to me as well, but I didn't really do much, just pointed out to him it's uncalled for and he stopped for a bit, which is fine by me - things get heated up, people say things they probably don't fully mean etc.
