Where's Cowpat Sid? He's my favourite poster and he's gone AWOL. Sid, if you're reading, come back. The page needs you!

I've not posted for the past week or two because I've had nothing to add to what other posters have written.
Besides, having been an avid RM "groupie" last season and having morphed into a hardline denigrator of RM this season (because of the poor performances & results AND the exasperating pre-match and post-match comments by RM and the players), I needed to take a step back and let my rationality take precedence over my emotions ;-)
Whatever happens this season - and it's clear that BK won't be removing RM - it's a results business and I'll re-assess my opinion of RM in the cold light of day at the end of the season. I'll willingly eat humble pie if my recent concerns prove unfounded. That's a small price to pay if, in exchange, our team does well during the remainder of this season - and (hopefully!) beyond.
Once a blue, always a blue!

Nail on Head there Cow Pat, it is his pre but normally after match comments that do my head in. The two most exasperating are though, Bill Kenwright's AWOL and Roberto's not only refusal to change tactics or admittance to do so but his utter refusal to believe he may be wrong. I am by all means not certain but did/has he ever accepted responsibility for Wigans relegation.

bloody hell Sid, with a reply like that you should be a politician.

Me? A politician? Heaven forfend! In my younger days, I was very interested in politics - I genuinely thought that we could change the world for the better or at least make a worthwhile difference. I'm now older and wiser - and more cynical and world weary(!) - so I have complete and utter contempt for the self-serving, mealy-mouthed, condescending, fatuous and contemptible "persons" that we have as MPs, etc., these days.
Right - that's enough of politics: back to what's important, which, for me, is family, friends, the state of the world and humankind in general, AND the state of Everton football club.
