Roberto Martinez discussion

Lad you would get Kaliber in the round if you could.

Left me with the bill too.

Pipe down lad.

I want to believe this.

I thought we should have been easy winners today.

You can see how well they're playing but there was, unfortunately today, no cutting edge in the box. Lots of energy, and creativity in the build up play, but just no urgency to get the ball in the net.

 

[Toffeelover]

Is there dramatic cinema music playing in the background when anyone else reads that too?

Just to oblige



BTW the title also sums up our season!

The plotters are sharpening their knives mate. Beware the ides of march

It's over.

We start season three with RM in charge.

I genuinely feel sorry for the deluded people still believing they can shape the future. It must be depressing for them...it's a form of self harm I believe.

He needs to move on some dead wood this summer Dave.

For certain.

Thing is mate every team next season will set up how Sunderland did today just stick every man behind the ball and hit us on the break as most teams have done this season.

He will, and also no doubt players like Mirallas will go.

We'll see. I think 4/5 new faces if we have players being transferred who we want to keep hold of.

If he gets the CB/playmaker/2nd striker situation sorted we wont be far away from top 6/7.

Hope they took cards.

But I thought we did well today creating a lot of half chances that should have been made more of. I dont think S'land playing deep was the issue today. We had chances to get shots off and didn't. I also think if we get a clever playmaker who can pick the lock in the summer we'll carve these teams open with regularity.

I'm really confident about next season. Keep our crown jewel players and we can prosper.

Isn't that basically what we did to Man U?

That was a painful night a few seasons back in the Taxi Club.

Fox ripped the back out of me for four hours solid for trying to pay by card. The monster

I'd keep him, but he wants away. If an offer comes in large enough he'll go.

That said, I dont think he's a player who gives an awful lot of effort going the other way. It wouldn't be the end of the world if he did go.

Not very ambitious Dave. What happened to try and qual for Euro?

Four hours solid. Wow, I can't imagine he was short of other material either.
