Roberto Martinez Shenanigans: All Reaction Here

[maddison]

Realistic lad.

There are Kopites who are far more polite about the ambition of our club than some of our own fans....... I fear the gloom of the '90's has set some peoples expectations so low.

The 90s ruined me, honestly, they did.

 

[Phenom]

Maddison are you mad mate?

Im sensing a fume right here.

Longest trophy drought in our history, mate. I don't care how many times we finish 5th or 6th if that keeps up.

Bingham and Lee had us 3rd and 4th and were hated because they didn't win trophies. What's changed?

 

[MickM86]

Nah. I'd say we were challenging for Europe all of those seasons.

We were challenging for 4th this season up until December, but then the other teams realised how good they were and that was that.

December? We went to white hart lane in April with an excellent chance of top 4.

Out of order that.

One deluded fan thinks its his right to finish in the top 4 then, OK MATE X

You didn't get champions league for finishing 3rd or 4th back then that's why.

Eh, though. You still got into europe.

CL isn't going to turn us into title contenders, lads.

Please don't re-write history. We went to Spurs needing to win otherwise we'd be 5 or 4 points behind 4th place with a tough set of fixtures to follow. Statistically it was very unlikely we'd get 4th place.

We as a fanbase glossed over the fact that the first half of the season fixtures were very kind to us. This showed in the second half of the season and particularly the final couple of months when a lot of the tough games we'd been avoiding came up at once. Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool away were always going to be the death of us. If they had been in the first half of the season i doubt we'd have been even thinking of 4th place come January.

It's in the name :blink:

but actually no lol. Apologies if it's coming across as a fume

Didnt have CL then though! Totally different back then.

 

[Deloodid]

Any chance of 4th place went when we drew 3-3 at home to Villa,

Same competition, different name is all.

 

[kenada_blue]

So you used to give Moyes pelters & yet you'd find midtable acceptable under Martinez? lol

p.s. No players have left mate

Entire new backroom staff, new way of playing football, will take the side time to adjust.

And if you think no players are leaving... Then god help you

 

[noharmdone]

Everton don't do relegations, mate. We're far far too big a club to go down.

When the fixtures are released, I still look immediately at the last game of the season. I still think ' Do we have to win this to stay up ? '
Not ' Do we need to win this to win the league !? '

That's how fu*ked up the 90's made me...

And I've seen us win stuff.. loads of stuff...
