Ed. Why is everything on Other Posts?

{Ed003's Note - not everything is}

20 Apr 2016 23:52:32
A he'll of a lot is Ed, bit dissapointed tonight with what appears as censorship of posts off the main Banter site.

For example
Be polite but complain about mismanagement of club by ringing

0151 556 1878

Not really anarchy is it?

{Ed003's Note - Not at all mushy, I deleted a post that you put up because it could leave us libelous,phone whoever you want if you think it will make one bit of difference.}

21 Apr 2016 00:27:31
Thanks Ed,
Not sure what you meant by libelous, we're customers complaining about a product, end of.
But thanks for posting, now come on customers, complain!

{Ed003's Note - No probs good luck at the weekend.}

20 Apr 2016 22:59:59
And just who would want to step into the Everton job? Angry players wanting to leave, no spirit or drinve.

I mean, someone with a good track record and experience, not some retread who has coached 3 other teams in the PL?

Does BK have someone on speed dial?

20 Apr 2016 22:49:41
Are any of us really that surprised with that score line? We weren't at the races at 2 down so to lose a man for a stupid unnecessary challenge is just a kick in the balls. So what now for RM?
I think the board should have acted after Saturday, that result meaning we will finish this season will the least amount of points at home was grounds for dismissal in my eyes. We have not progressed, as RM stated we would when he rode into town, we have actually gone backwards. Not only has he failed with his tactics on the pitch, his comments, by and large, have rubbed a lot of the fans up the wrong way. To be fair, he didn't say a lot wrong tonight but even he couldn't put any positive spin on the shambles we had the misfortune to witness.
The club has been in dire need of a lift for the last month or so. It is blatantly obvious that he is just not good enough to manage us. We missed a trick by letting him still be in charge for tonight's game and I hope we do not repeat this mistake and leave him there for the semi.
Even with 11 players we were woeful. The passing was sloppy and lethargic, movement from throws was terrible, nobody really wanted to show. Too many thinking of the trip to Wembley? Final part of rant, sorry people! What was Mori doing holding out the badge? He's just been sent off with a two goal deficit leaving his team mates in the lurch for 40 mins or so. It's hard being a blue at times.

21 Apr 2016 06:24:37
Tuesday night I thought we would put out a weakened side thinking about the semi on Saturday so I put a little bet on 4-0 Liverpool. When I saw the line up I was quite surprised and stupidly enough confident we could get something. Like 99% of fans this morning I have woken up still disgusted with the way we played and the result. Even some of my mates who are Liverpool supporters actually feel sorry for us rather than Brag about the result. With morale amongst the fans, players, former players and probably backroom staff at an all time low surely its best to make a change and give the new manager a bit of time to get to know the players before pre-season?

{Ed025's Note - you were lucky there devon..it could have been 8 nil, and probably should have been..

20 Apr 2016 22:22:38
I have spoken to him above and we will win Saturday.

20 Apr 2016 22:45:54
I have more chance of winning the lottery again, and I don't do it anymore.

20 Apr 2016 23:13:07
Has this site crashed ed?

{Ed003's Note - A lot of repetitive posts are going on to the 'other' page as we do with all the main club sites on nights like this mushy.}

20 Apr 2016 21:39:52
Everton FC commentary, (Quote)
'This is embarrassing'.
For the love of God how can he remain after Saturday?
Left to me and the vast majority of supporters, he should be sacked tomorrow and to hell with Wembley!

20 Apr 2016 21:49:52
Totally agree. I think sacking him would lift the team. a complete and utter fraud. he has to be sacked. if he had any decency he'd walk.

20 Apr 2016 21:50:41
Take r chances wid big dunc.

20 Apr 2016 21:51:05
Agreed mushy. He must be sacked tomorrow.

20 Apr 2016 21:56:32
totally agree Mush, get big Dunc looking after the team until the end of the season, he needs to go in the morning, i'd rather have Mike Walker back.

20 Apr 2016 21:58:49
Agree Mushy. Would be better going to Wembley with no manager, than with this idiot in charge. At least the players would try for each other.

20 Apr 2016 21:59:10
I know we had the red card but the game was heading that way before the red. He has to go.

20 Apr 2016 21:59:31
Totaly agree the man has no foresight, tactical skill and even worse no back up to help him make his mind up.
The team is un ballanced, undecided, and under trained to the extent they can't put in more than sixty minutes of all out football, then the dodgy substitutions occur.
Get rid of this fraud NOW.

20 Apr 2016 22:02:29
A cartaker or an undertaker that's our only hope. He has completely lost the changing room stadium and even the carpark. If he lasts till Saturday we have a spineless board.

20 Apr 2016 22:32:34
Yes lads sack him tonight and put dunc in charge on Saturday.

20 Apr 2016 23:50:02
Cop on lads big dunc things are bad enough. No experience forget it. Martinez will b here till end of season simple as. We need quality manager and
at least 6 quality players.

21 Apr 2016 13:05:31
Somehow Mr Martinez will come out of this with his star just slightly dimmed. He lost the majority of the fans months ago and for that we were criticised by others some of whom Ed's. It is plain to see from this that he has also lost the players. We absolutely have nothing to lose now, we cannot be relegated so no reason whatsoever for him to stay.

20 Apr 2016 20:29:12
We need to pressure the ball quicker they're getting to much time on the ball and push up.

20 Apr 2016 20:53:47
I agree, lukaku & Ross don't do any off the ball work.
Liverpool look miles fitter and hungaryier, stones is pants again AND it's two nil. I wonder what Moyse is thinking! we look so lost, surely martinez has to walk now or at least after the semi final.

20 Apr 2016 20:53:53
We were sitting deep for the counter and have let them dominate!
In the past to get any success we need to give them no time on the ball!

20 Apr 2016 21:14:43
Wonder who's going to play centre back with stones against Man U with Mori getting himself sent off. I hope Jags can get back in time.

20 Apr 2016 21:24:39
For most of the season, we have been slow to get out the box, applied too little pressure to our opponents on the ball, and I'm sick of seeing 3 defenders take on our single centre forward. stretch a back 4 with two strikers! Additionally, there is more often than not a gulf of space between lukaku and his next team mate. so it's no wonder we struggle to hold the ball up. Additionally, how many times this season do I have to witness players being in marked, or unmarshalled in the box. for the second goal Ross just has to close down . he stands there watching. yes the players are to blame. but for me it all stems from the manager. I've had enough of this man. it's beyond a joke, his tactics, his arrogance, his lack of compromise and the drivvel that he tries to spoon feed us. I alwlays state I could not train a team BUT I am fairly certain I could pick a best 11 and get the tactics correct more often than this man is. quite simply he is a fraud.

20 Apr 2016 21:26:42
Besic and Barry.

20 Apr 2016 19:37:50
Forget rm, this team needs to show some fight, passion that's the least we deserve. It's the derby show some balls.

20 Apr 2016 19:11:03
No Kone and our mysterious striker is only forward on bench!?

{Ed025's Note - i hope you get both of them up mate..

20 Apr 2016 17:59:11
Murff that's it u said no more bets now you put the mockers on us😂😂😂 Ed25 have a word and tell his wife to take his money off him😂😂.

{Ed025's Note - she does that anyway pb, i think he sells bags of stale crisps for his betting money mate.. :)

20 Apr 2016 18:16:03
I've just burst out laughing on train haha.

20 Apr 2016 18:21:30
Pb since I stopped betting we have nose dived mate, its your fault lad, all this is down to you lol.

20 Apr 2016 18:28:19
ha ha u still remember where I work Ed after all these years, your not that old kidder.

{Ed025's Note - i always remember you degs.. :)

20 Apr 2016 19:06:30
My fault lol.

20 Apr 2016 19:33:31
Murff where do u work the bookies.

20 Apr 2016 16:25:47
Defiant Roberto Martinez warns fed-up Evertonians he won't change his philosophy because it WILL work, He said the same at Wigan, "I've had many more signs from fans who see what we are trying to do, and can see where we are going - they know it is going to end up successfully".

20 Apr 2016 16:40:31
We are all agreed Sting but tonight and till Saturday let's get behind him (I have a horrible feeling about the next few days but we got to fight) .

20 Apr 2016 17:05:04
We all will every time mate, I will go for a 3-1 win to Everton, (in my dreams)

{Ed025's Note - i wish stig..

20 Apr 2016 17:38:31
I agree Stig, he also said that the majority know his plan and we will progress but it takes time. Hate to be pessimistic but in reality RM took over a top regular top 7 side, that was settled with a solid defence. He has taken that Squad in particular the defence and with his philosophy squeezed the confidence out of them. Now having said that, no matter the results from now until the end of the season we have to get behind the Team we just have to.

20 Apr 2016 17:59:43
He can do one the cheeky sod.

20 Apr 2016 14:09:17
If baines dosnt make it tonight, could push oviedo to rb, drop Barry in at lb, like he did early on in his career and Mccarthy and besic just in front of back four.

20 Apr 2016 13:23:41
Can anyone speak Dutch?

Click on image for larger version

20 Apr 2016 13:58:59
It's just saying that he is being linked. More paper talk with nothing concrete. I'd have him though.

20 Apr 2016 15:04:06
My Dutch isn't great PB but I think I've got the gist of this. RM wants De Boer as a player, he hasn't played for a while due to retirement but he will fit in with the philosophy that the majority of fans believe is working! If the deal can't be done, he is looking at either Koeman or Jose as back up.

20 Apr 2016 16:24:38
love it Spud ha ha.

20 Apr 2016 17:38:06
It is the Dutch translation of the English 'In the Frame' De Boer in the Picture at Everton.

20 Apr 2016 09:52:54
Good morning fellow blues well here we are its derby day. I have never been so nervous about a derby as I am this one. I just hope the team goes out and puts up a fight and give us supporters a bit of pride back I can handle a narrow defeat but not a drubbing. So I hope the good lord is watching over us later so let us pray. Talk to you later blues after the game and I hope we have our spirits lifted by the lads COYB ps Pb come out from behind the couch lol.

20 Apr 2016 10:55:35
Normally I am nervous before a derby but not this time as expect to lose and nothing else but will be hoping it is another nail in RM coffin.

20 Apr 2016 10:58:37
I was going to post something very similar Stef.
Obviously I'd much rather take 3 points but as long as we give a good account and don't disgrace ourselves I'll be satisfied.

20 Apr 2016 11:22:05
Don't think I will ever be satisfied with a good performance but loss against the darkside.

20 Apr 2016 11:34:40
Right now I can't even begin to put up a case for us to get a win or draw over there tonight.I feel so deflated at what I've witnessed so far this season, especially after being mind numbed last saturday.Hopefully I am wrong and we all get a shot to the arm to take us into the semi with the confidence sky high.

20 Apr 2016 12:29:22
Getting home from work, moving the couch away from the back wall, run, jump over it, hide.

20 Apr 2016 07:15:03
Thank god there is no reds on my job. Anyone one fancy a game of hide and seek thill Sunday 😂😂😂.

20 Apr 2016 08:07:24
Out for my birthday in town Sat Pb, 12 of us, 8 of them are Koppites, dreading it mate.

20 Apr 2016 09:03:30
Chin up lads.its the Derby,so form book goes out the window.

20 Apr 2016 09:29:40
I admire your optimism denti!
My half glass full appears to have slipped from my grasp and shattered into a billion shards since RM took over.

20 Apr 2016 09:52:29
First time in my 44 years Dentie that I can remember not even being arsed mate, hopefully tonight kick starts my enthusiasm again, doubt it though

24/ 04/ 16 MG DAY.

20 Apr 2016 09:52:55
Murff I feel ye pain. How old mate, or you at the stage in life where you have stopped counting 😂😂😂😂.

20 Apr 2016 10:08:55
physically Pb 44, mentally 16 mate.

20 Apr 2016 10:34:37
I'm 38 in May going on 18.

20 Apr 2016 12:30:34
ha ha, that's the good thing about being a man, immaturity is expected, my wife is 37 going on 68, old bag ha ha ha.

20 Apr 2016 00:07:19
just read a quote from deboer days after monk was sacked from swansea "i would like to work in the premier league and would be intrested in the swansea job but have a year left at ajax so its wait and see. so there you have it blues he would like to work in the prem and would have taken the swansea job so the year must be nearly up now so come on everton get going. if he was intresred in the swansea job then he must definitely fancy the everton job IF it becomes available.

20 Apr 2016 10:57:43
Not the man for Everton, he manages in a second rate league and no experience of the Prem.
