Said it last game . say it again still think we got rid of Roberto to early 😀.

06 Jul 2018 21:05:52
He was a nice guy Roberto but anyone who claimed Aiden McGeady was "world class" is obviously delusional. He's done well for himself though on the international stage. Our attacking of teams was good to watch under him but if he only had a defensive answer then we'd probably still have him. He was a revelation in the first season but it got toxic at the end of his tenure.

06 Jul 2018 21:24:56
I will give you that . But on another note how annoying is Rio Ferdinand he has to be the worst pundit for me on TV.

06 Jul 2018 22:54:03
Given the players that Belgium have it does not take a great manager to do well with them. Maybe the appointment of Henry is the reason for there success.
I believe that Belgium will win the world cup but that does not make Martinez a good club manager.
Look at Coleman with Wales great with them but rubbish with a club.
They are different jobs completely and Martinez happens to have great players at the moment nothing to do with him.

06 Jul 2018 23:49:00
Lawro has got to be the worst 🤯 burns my head out him.

07 Jul 2018 07:26:26
Martinez is a good cup manager but not a league manager.

07 Jul 2018 09:05:45
100% right there Smit. In a short competition like the WC with limited games there’s not much time to suss out a team. But in the prem his tactics become apparent and then exploited.

I will add that the players at his disposal are pure class so expecting similar results given time at Everton would be a little optimistic.

07 Jul 2018 09:22:09
I think he is probably a very good coach. But I wanted him gone almost immediately because after Moyes's reign whereby we constantly signed good young players who were either in our 1st team regularly. or sold on for big profit, Martinez's reign started signing ageing players who just could not cut it. I don't know how much of a role the manager plays in signings, but is says something to me when our best 3 defenders are still Jags, Coleman and Baines. and Moyes went ages ago now. Moyes also bought a few other good defenders such as Neville, Oviedo, Mustafi etc. We have bought and sold defenders since that have quite frankly been poor. eg Alcaraz, Mori, Williams, Keane, Martina. Then look at the quality of players we have sold on from Moyes time. Fellaini, Arteta, Stones. Yes I know that Martinez bought Lukaku and I agree he was a great signing. but hardly any of Martinez's players now feature and these are mainly the ones we are trying to move on. I am not saying in this post that Moyes was great or anything. before people start on me. because like I say I don't know how much say the manager has in negotiations, but since his time our signings on the whole have deteriorated. Maybe something else changed? But no one can argue that we have a better squad now than when Martinez joined. Especially after he signed Lukaku.

I said it with a bit of tong in cheek . But got talking instead of everyone having a moan 😀🍺.

07 Jul 2018 12:54:11
Glenn Hoddle for me. Some of his comments, especially about Spuds players are comical.

07 Jul 2018 13:34:23
Everytime I see your posts Degsy, aka David Moyes biggest fan, I think I've sat in a DeLorean and knocked the dashboard to 2013!

07 Jul 2018 14:03:13
But tell me BJU which players we have signed who are better and either still with us or alternatively we have had good use of and then sold for big profit. Like I said in the post, I am not saying it is down to Moyse and likewise I am not blaming Martinez soley. But up until 2013 we regularly signed playes for 60 grand, 1.5 million, 2.5 million etc and then used for some seasons and sold on for huge profit. Since 2013 I only see that story in Lukaku. Perhaps Walsh? Perhaps others are to blame? But I am only stating facts.

07 Jul 2018 14:24:45
I have done a billion times and even put all of the stats of one v the other. One of the ED's even told you about the finances of Moyes but you still chose to ignore it.

Can't you just leave these types of discussions and talk about something new. You sound utterly nutts. Like completely and utterly crazy. 🤪.

07 Jul 2018 15:57:27
I remember I think ed001 pointing out that moyse spend was the equivalent to 5th but we finished 7th,6th,5th oh and lower. The money in the game has gone mental over the past half dozen seasons so buying someone 5 years ago and selling them after almost always shows some profit, even if they flop. This has to be taken into consideration when comparing transfer fees.

In reference to the punditry: I think both channels have some awful punditry but I really can’t stand itv. Don’t mind BBC as Lineker and one or two of the others (never Shearer or Jenas) normally talk sense but itv is normally a let down. Pougatch is good as the anchor as he did a great job on radio before but find the majority of the regular panel unbearable at times, especially Wright, Keane and Aluko. The rest seem ok but are let down by those few. Much prefer the views of players like Fabregas, Zabaleta, Scott and Drogba.

08 Jul 2018 17:39:17
Agree with Dark Clouds, I am not the only one I know that has said consistently of Martinez (when Manager of our Club) that the man is a coach and certainly needed a DoF such as Brands. If that had happened who knows how we would have done. International Coaches already have proven National Talent to choose from.

06 Jul 2018 17:12:48
Seriously I don't know why this rumour/ banter page even exists, most of it is complete bollocks and stressess everyone out, most people just moan about the posts and the eds get pi%$ed off which is understandable, manly 002 ed haha, still keep having a look at it though, let's just hope all goes well this year and we make if not giant but progressive strides towards being a competitive side that makes us all proud.

06 Jul 2018 17:43:35
Not sure you realise the irony in your post Bjarkster 🤣.

06 Jul 2018 20:51:11
So your post is basically a moan about moaning. Ok then.

06 Jul 2018 21:00:25
Yawn Yawn.

06 Jul 2018 21:28:23
Haha sorry I'm terrible at explaining things, I tried to break up with our peg and ended up getting engaged.

06 Jul 2018 21:34:54
A lot of the time it's because people take things personally and so they get angry. Others because they can't see someone might have another point of view.

I'm with you on next season. No expectations of where we finish but just a move back to playing good football with attack in mind.

06 Jul 2018 22:55:27
That would be nice.

06 Jul 2018 13:02:20
Just realised that I am flying to Slovakia during the World Cup Final. I will make this sacrifice for the nation gladly as it almost certainly guarantees an England win.

Why did you edit this post?

It was a direct quote from Blackadder 2. If it can go out on the BBC then I think that it is OK for a site like this.

{Ed002's Note - If you want to talk dirty to other men then perhaps there are more specialist web sites you should be using.}

So you consider ....................

Jack Wilshere is close to a deal with West Ham according to SKY
Guess our medical staff won’t be getting all that potential overtime and we can cancel the extension to the treatment room 😉.

06 Jul 2018 10:38:16
Typical West Ham signing.

06 Jul 2018 12:34:31
you mean one that will be injured a while like Ashton and Carroll?

06 Jul 2018 13:19:22
Exactly. Free to keep the money men happy, tempting enough to keep the fans happy and injured enough to keep the physio busy 😂.

06 Jul 2018 07:30:13
What an absolute class act Joel Robles is. It's people like him our club should be built on.

Good luck Joel. Once a blue always a blue.

06 Jul 2018 08:07:16
He never really let us down and has shown real class the way he has left. Good luck to him.

06 Jul 2018 08:40:52
Agree with above comments. Some difference in attitude compared to the likes of Schneiderlin. Hope Joel's takes off at his new club.

06 Jul 2018 19:54:06
A goalkeeper that doesn't take off isn't much use to anyone.

06 Jul 2018 21:30:20
I'm talking more to do with attitude and respect for the club and fans.

However, he wasn't a bad goalkeeper and personally I wish him well and good luck for the future.
