IT'S CAPTAIN HOOK arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

I laughed at the reaction on here towards Roberto Martinez. Lids were seething like a gypsy was bumming their mother.

Despite a Clattenburg penalty decision.

Clattenburg is sound now though because Martinez is the devil himself.

You and the majority may not wish a defeat on the team to prove a point....but as you allude to in your post, there is a minority, a vociferous minority, who most assuredly have reached the stage where their egos cannot take owt which undermines their anti Martinez stance.

And that is a statement of the obvious.

I remember the venom you used to spout my way when Moyes was here and we won a game, and I would say something positive about him..

Guess there may be some that feel the same way about Martinez, but I have only seen one that really doesn't seem to like Martinez, most seem very reasonably positioned on the matter, some of course think the sun shines out of his butt and after he's walked on water will take us to the promised land, but regardless i'm sure all camps want him to do well because then Everton are doing well. Its got nothing to do with ego, just perspectives.

We are not wining games, and after your good self and the rest of the anti Moyes brigade banged the drum for so long that only winning mattered, only trophies, that 6th place cup was naff, late subs are pointless, strikers for midfielders when drawing was bottling it, not harassing the chairman for more funds was as bad as the chairman and so on...
To be doing the same or getting further away from those arguments should be hard to justify, especially since the predecessor was always 'lowering expectations', but many have simply wiped the slate and now bottom half is deemed acceptable, winning games has become an optional nicety, he's been given money and people say how well he's done in the transfer market on one hand, but how we can't yet expect progress on the other, we play scintillating football and lose or draw games, people have a right to be annoyed at our fall from chasing for Europe to chasing top half..

Who knows.. maybe we will beat City and win a cup, and then everyone can unite.. not on here of course, Dave and co wouldn't let anyone that once mocked Martinez join the Martinez fan club, but outside the forum, we can all be friends and there will be only one camp... Camp Roberto..

..coz he is to be fair.. be honest now.. he is a bit camp, but in a manly way.

I refuse to offer tactical opinions as Chico will get me.

Just wow.

Garry Monk, clueless Swansea manager gets Swansea their highest position and points haul for a Premier League season. Loses his top scorer and then his ability shines through and he's sacked.

Brendan Rodgers, clueless ex-Swansea manager gets Liverpool their joint highest position in the Premier League ever. Loses his top scorer and then his ability shines through and he's sacked.

Roberto Martinez...





better hope Lukaku stays.

Can we ban anyone who thinks Clattenburg is sound please?

This thing has two sides. Stop bringing sensible external factors like Clattenburg into it. We're not interested. If you haven't got a non loss percentage comparison for the last 18.5 months then you're not doing it right.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

If you think Doug goes for easy points, you haven't read the Tim Howard thread.

Or the Osman thread..Mirallas...Naismith...The board thread...

All of which his tormentor and myself differ over.

 

[ianefc]

You must have met @Dithering Dougie by now? He likes to come in and try and score a few cheap points after Davek has taken the heavy artillery. His ability to deride opinion without ever offering any of his own is quite impressive.

Oh Dithering Doug is still on the scene? I stopped his posts being visible to me weeks ago when he called anyone who he disagreed with, Gaffer.

It was the wit of it, I'd break down laughing each time I read it, I couldn't handle that level of humour. I'm especially fond of the 932nd time I read it, that was a really good one.

Now, to put this defeat business in perspective, Ian.

I have just checked the league table.

Manchester City have lost five games.......the same amount as us

Manchester United, spenders of over a quarter of a billion pounds in the past eighteen months or so, have lost five games.....the same amount as us

The RS have lost six games.......that is one more than us

I forgot to look at Chelsea.......God knows how many they have lost

Even Arsenal at the top of the table have lost four games......just one fewer than us

Now don't get me wrong......we could be doing better.

Our problem isn't so much that we are losing too many games.....we are drawing too many.

So you know what....things ain't so bad.

They are just more wrong than right at the moment.

A tweak here and a twook there and before you know it we will be racing up that table and Wembley bound to boot


COYB

Excellent use of the lol's!!!

 

[mkrudden]

Well if you watched carefully he actually benched the previously impressive Cleverley for a half fit McCarthy. Apparently it was to rest 25 year old Cleverley who had played twice in 3 days to add to his other half a dozen appearances this season. 35 year old ever present Gareth Barry though obviously didn't need a rest despite playing every league game and 3 in one week.

So predictably McCarthy who looked a mile off the pace broke down early on and who should come off the bench? Obviously not Cleverley because he was being reste....oh no wait it was him, who promptly came on then got injured. Besic, Gibson and Osman watched on in amusement as 2 half fit players trudged about a bit in a premier league match with points at stake before going off using up 2 subs to then be replaced by....a striker.

I'm past even bothering trying to look at the problems in midfield, the problems are everywhere in the team except the centre forward position. The selections and subs on Monday though were a farce.

But Cleverley got injured so.....?

And McCarthy looked off the pace because...well... He was...

How do you look on(?) the pace without minutes?

This is all very odd.
