I'd give Martinez about a 5% chance of achieving top four. Swansea are more likely to get relegated than get top four
 

Sticking by what I said a few weeks back wit regards to Everton v Swansea:

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/...session-next-season.77273/page-4#post-3666578

"Be honest though, lads. We're nothing more than a hair on Swansea's arse crack. How many trophies have Everton won in the last 15 years? We're a vile club with disgusting fans who have the gall to voice their frustration when our team's playing crap - disgraceful. Swansea on the other hand are a humble, family club who, even when they lose games, actually win them by virtue of the beautiful football they play."

Honestly, @BrianSwan, I don't even know why you give us the time of day. This forum was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Please don't leave us Brian. The forum can never have enough weirdos from other clubs with small man syndrome.

We deserve someone to laugh at too and none is better than a Swansea fan trying to compare his team against ours.

Did I mention your mother yet? Oh well it's customary to point out what a dirty sweat she is being south welsh. Make no mistake those old miners passing her in the street and letting on have at some point savaged her brine box.

That's how you're here Bri. And thank God you are!

We weren't too far off that in Bobby's first season.

It would take a season of real luck and quality IMO.

I get your point, but we actually were quite a distance behind Arsenal in the final reckoning. After beating them at Goodison in April we were ahead of them, but they still managed to finish a whopping 7 points ahead of us. We did great that season, but we weren't even close.

Moyes team in 2005 was more down to the deficiencies of others in the league that season. If you look at the results during the season, we had incredible sequences of 1-0 wins that got us comfortably third at one point. The 2nd half of the season, our results were dire - but so was everyone else's. Negative goal difference (okay there was the 7-0 reverse at Arsenal when the players were probably still drunk from celebrating).
