Roberto Martinez Straw Poll

[LinekersLegs]

Only mid-table teams play for Europa spots.

Do you want to tell Diego Simeone that?

 

[ilikecheese]

Well, I'm afraid it has been considered a mid-table position for years, without anyone referring to the mean, median or mode.

Sorry mate...not buying that. You may call it that (and other negative weapons), but not only is it factually incorrect, but also it's not correct in any way.

 

[James Patrick]

Love polls on here don't they ?

4th from Bottom
1 WIN in 7 PL games
Worst Defense in the PL

This is reality....forget the after match stuff from Bobby.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Do you trust our Manager to change our form around and get is back on track this season?

Thought you'd had a nightmare when I saw this at first mate.
But more than 60% are saying Yes ... I'm one of them.

We didn't play well at the back end of last season and we've kind of continued that in the last couple of months, but I have faith in the system he's putting together. It just needs a bit of pragmatism adding to defence now and then by those who aren't so comfortable on the ball. No shame in launching it into the stands occassionally.

Why would I care what he thinks?

By whom?

Sorry but whoever considers 5th to be mid table is just completely wrong.

Can I offer you some bleach?

 

[Dymak]

By whom?

John Moores, me, and lots of other people, especially from those who can remember the pre-play-off years.

 

[ShaggyReAL]

Top 4 is considered the top of the league, right? The last 3 are considered the bottom of the league, right? So what do we call the teams inbetween?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Why would I care what he thinks?

Like Simeone I think the Europa league is a good competition to win and I'm glad we're in it especially since it looks like our best route to earn a champions league place. You clearly don't.

 

[Dymak]

Fair enough, you are incorrect but you are entitled to your opinion. If it bothers you that much, I can put it another way, he will not exceed the unheralded 5th place finish, and he will end up having a very similar record to that ginger feller.

No mate...1st is considered top of the league.

5th is an avenue to Champions League...wrong again.

I never said it wasn't a good competition. My whole point is if you're not in CL you're a mid-table team.
