Roberto Martinez discussion

[Groucho]

I don't think that's true at all really about most people in the thread - it's just sabotaged a bit by those who are just... insanely extremist and either don't/won't see anything Martinez does as right/wrong (delete were applicable), as proved by a post by someone a few above, then people will do what is natural when it comes to an opinion of a thing; either shift for or against it based on evidence.

It's only those who have absolutely no interest in being wrong on the internet who will be... "davek-ey" about things. So about one in every hundred people. It's just that those people tend to shout the loudest and say the most stupid things that get a bigger counter-reaction.

Without wishing to single out a particular member, yes, there is an element of that to it.

In forty one thousand posts not one of the extremists on either side have changed sides, give it up boys.

This thread highlights ignorance vs intelligence. Intelligence is gathering new information and changing your view based on the facts. Ignorance is never changing your view, whilst getting every shred of 'evidence' to fit your preexisting view.

Just a personal view, but when people call the manager El fraud, coco etc I switch off to their opinion. It does nothing to strengthen the case against and comes across very juvenile.

...and that 4th place got us nothing in the end. Well in Moyesie. Next....

Yeah because we got so far with Martinez's 5th place finish.

Oh yeah, we finished 11th in the league, got knocked out of both domestic cups at the first attempt and got knocked out in the last 16 of the EL. Well in Bobby.

So is there anybody that still wants him sacked or have you all seen sense and joined The Cult?

Sacked, for me.

He's a failed cup gamble, that's my opinion. As an Everton fan for 30 years I hope I'm wrong, I love this club and the characters that dragged us from the mire of the late 90s/ early 00's to today.

I can't abide watching it dissolving.

More than happy to be proved wrong.

It's racist too.

Love the pic, the Moyes bit is nonsense. If Eddie Howe, Pulis or the fella at Norwich produced CL, EL, FA cup final balanced books and transformation of squad they'd be given freedom of the city.

Moyes did that with an equivalent Premier League starting point and handed over some golden youngsters with it.

Martinez can't replicate that of course, his circumstances are different. His signings are ok, what else? Oh yeah, we blindly smash 30 crosses a game at Lukaku, using odd subs and full backs that used to be better.

I'll shout for Everton come rain or shine. Martinez is bang average though.

That was a genuinely funny pic though.

Wow ! Blake!

From ' Twain', too!

You've ben watching it all season. It's the one all the neutrals have been drooling over.

Maybe it's a matter of 'cant see the wood for the trees'?

Pretty sure the neutrals are drooling over Leicester, sir. I know, I know, the similar blue kits are a total head f£3k.

Dave you simply must be getting drunk on two separate occasions each day of the week. We have had a bye to a LC SF and went out the moment a decent team was met, the bookies will tell you that feat will be repeated in the FA Cup and we have won 8 league games all season 4 of which against the bottom 3 and only 1 (Southampton) against a team in the top half.

If you think it's been a good season fine, but Almost nobody will agree with you.

Ok mate.
