Haha, I actually genuinely kept mistaking this for the Jagielka thread. But yes, Martinez...
Well there's no confusion now.

Good post mate.
In terms of what he chats - its purely for the cameras who pay the money to keep this sordid Sky league going....what he says behind doors is Im sure completely different. He's not going to come out and say Mirallas is a lazy, whining good-for-nothing is he as that will decrease the price if an offer does come in.

It would just be nice if like zippy you could shut his trap for a few seconds so he can think about what he's saying. I've sat there sometimes mate and think he's talking us up as if we could go on and win the world cup lol

Harmless I know, I just find it more annoying than some.

As mentioned time and time again, we keep winning and picking up positive results and he can chat all the crap he wants as far as I'm concerned ;)

We had a sample of our previous managers tone on Sky the other night....colourless, dull and boring self promoting bollocks from a busted flush. I much prefer Martinez style of enthusiastic bollocks, at least we know who's side he's on.

I guess you loved the 'glad to get out of Old Trafford alive' quotes
 
I actually enjoyed it when he said that, showed himself up to be a right royal tit.
Thing is at the time I think we all bought into the 'Club fighting above its weight' comments
RM not the greatest in press conferences, if anything to positive and sees the best in everything

I think he needs to remember we are a cynical old bunch:)

Moyes was boss right up to a limit and then came out with stuff which was just like getting a kick in the balls as an Evertonian. Basically don't expect anything and be grateful that we exist.

Martinez is the absolute polar opposite and I'm somewhere in the middle of the two I reckon. I think sometimes things Martinez says are great it's just there's a time and a place and it ain't the time and place when results aren't what they should be.

Onwards and upwards though, we are on a 1 game winning streak and I'm hopeful of us getting a safe passage through tomorrow. Wins breed confidence, regardless of the opposition and a win tomorrow will set us up nicely for Wednesday.

The cup games couldn't have come at a better time for us tbh to take away the focus from the poor league results
 

There isn't a single key player in this seasons squad, missing from the squad that finished 5th.

We're 11th. We're underperforming and it's not because we're inexperienced - because the same squads average age is higher than it was.

One thing we have missed is the interplay on the left between Baines and Pienaar. And we haven't replaced the influence of Osman.

The attacking play has been wonderful, even if the results have been disappointing. But it won't take very much to improve the results.
 
In terms of the league, in my opinion we haven't got anywhere near the results (In terms of wins) I would have hoped this squad would have gotten. I would go as far to say that we have been (in terms of results) somewhere between poor and really poor and yet we are only 9 points off of the top 4 places (No proper fan is arsed about the games not lost, surely we are all about wanting to win?).....Is that a good thing or a bad thing? by that I Mean....It could be classed as good, as you could argue we are still within a shout....You could also argue that given how the league has panned out, that this could go down as a MASSIVE chance missed.... Thats where the frustration appears.....that's where the continuity of our extremely promising squad comes into question.....It has been my fear all along that Martinez simply cannot manage a team to be consistently good....and thus far I have been proved to be correct, No doubt about that.

Maybe I overrate our players?

But I'm 31 and this is the finest squad we have had, all credit to Martinez for that. Now get them to win some more games...So I can re-meme my profile pic.

There's massive doubt about it. 23 wins in 38 games in one season. Maybe your definition of consistent is more exacting than everyone else's?

Yessss........the King bit.

Of all the internet victories....this is my fave.

On a serious note, are you saying that


39 in 96 when it is made up of

21 in first 38....12 in second 38 and 6 in 20 (theoretically on course to be worse than last season) is consistent?

*will accept its a consistent decline in terms of wins per games played....no doubt about that.
