Really?

I saw a man begging the corner for the towel.

He's the Ross Barkley of GOT. Some still just don't see it.

He could have been a God, but now hes just Arouna Kone.

If you're the man I know you are, you won't let this slide.

Ive seen arguments about how a good cup run is as important as finishing in a good league position, and using this as a positive for Martinez. Then surely his 'amazing' first season is counter balanced by a not so great 6th round and 3rd round in the cups.

For me, the league is how most managers are judged and should be, as this is what they are hired for.

As always, he should get to the end of the season and judged then, there is no way on earth he will not be here next season ( unless we get new owners) as our board are very very loyal, not saying that's a bad thing, but he needs to work out a way of balancing the good and bad side of our game.

Write him off at your peril, he will be back

I only have his best interests at heart.

Mark my words: that domestic cups thread will be reopened post Chelsea game, and it'll be like opening up pandoras box for the mockers and snides who took it down with their cynical bile.

I hope you're this optimistic about everything in life.

....if you are referring to the interviewee Ross Barkley , I see it.

Not really sure you have to be optimistic to believe we'll beat a team we've played twice - beat them and drew with them (when another win was robbed from us), and put 6 past them.

Big chance to settle scores with them, not only over the last minute cheating equaliser this season but also the last two major cup games against them when they beat us in the LC SF and the FAC final.

90 minutes winner takes all match - The Entertainers v The Evil Empire.

Bring it on.

Sadly even a cup win won't convince many on here - much better for them to wallow in defeat..keep going through your not alone.

I agree, theres certain sections of our fanbase that would probably still want him sacked even if we win the cup.

But theres still a long way from Goodison to Wembley Way my Friend.

Oh boy, that was a funny read (the domestic cup thread). PMSL.
