Roberto Martinez discussion

Slyain?

Never heard of that.

Oh dear.

Seriously though, the vast majority accept the reality of second season syndrome and that we need to look forward now to season three under Roberto.

It's pretty much over for this debate apart from a bit of chat that's falling upon deaf ears.

This second season syndrome excuse for me is a load of B****ks.Granted the pressure has eased dramatically since our victory against Palace and thankfully we should get enough points under Roberto to stay away from the relegation zone so let us see where the season leaves us at the end.
If Martinez or Kenwright just put our failings this season down to second season syndrome it would be a big mistake, we have to learn from our mistakes and sort it out starting with the planning for next years pre season.
If I was employed by someone and done great for a year but in the second year was absolutely hopeless do you think my boss would accept SSS
as an excuse ? I very much doubt it.

Yeah. Being 12th in the league and topping your European group. Hopeless.

lol

So you think being 12th in the league and qualifying for the last 32 of a European competition is something to be proud of ?

Well, that's a totally different thing isn't it.

I wouldn't say i was proud when i passed a solid poo this morning, but i also wouldn't have called it hopeless.

Just teasing. I did have that tit in mind when I picked that particular occupation out of all of them.

I'm not saying we shoudn't learn from it. But it's a common enough sporting phenomenon. Great first seasons can produce complacency and apathy, and I think manager and team have been guilty of it this season. They'll learn from it though. Martinez must have felt managing at the top end of the PL was a piece of piss. He knows different now and I dont expect us to start off on the wrong foot next season...and that starts with a proper pre-season.

Well I hope he does learn from it mate because this season has been an absolute right off bearing in mind the squad he had to work with

You'll get the 'anywhere but top 4 makes no difference' line in a minute.

Give it up mate, you'd get more sense out of your dog.

Worry for the plotters mate. Worry the plotters.

They're not real mate.

They are real... real in his head.

Your probably right mate ,I got critiscised for a ropey comparison with an ordinary job a few minutes ago ( which was probably a fair criticism) next minute I get some mush telling me about his bowl movementslol

There was an admission on this forum from a small group that they were explicitly trying to force Roberto Martinez out mate. As part of a plot.

"They" are real.

I really hope the D has notifications turned off.

Bad eggs is probably a better way of putting it than 'plotters'.
