If we lose on Wednesday then Palace move above us.
A tricky home game against a decent Southampton side to come. It seems ages since we blew them away earlier this season.
Got a feeling that the atmosphere could turn pretty toxic next week if there's not a good performance.

Considering we are all pissed off with how the season has gone we appear to all be going to wembley. all tickets sold out and reading most of the posts its the end of the season, let's get behind the team and hope we can have a second visit to wembley. couldn't fault todays selection or substitutions, would feel better if jones and lawrence left and possibly unsworth or weir came in and told stones when to clear it instead of adding pressure to the team.

Good call on Jones and Lawrence, Jones in particular does seem to be the weak link as he was at Wigan. It only highlights what others have said before me but worth mentioning again. Roberto is a good coach but terrible Manager.

Agree with yours views on martinez. everytime we get a corner jones is up organising are defence. thought that was the keepers and captains job. They are still getting orders when the ball is coming in. Maybe voice are opinions on them.

"I'll get you's into the champions league"

Yea, right. More like"I'll get you's relegated"

When is the last time we had 2 seasons in a row this bad. We had an FA cup final not too long ago and were in Europe for a couple of seasons not too long ago also. Our league form didn't suffer. Yet Martinez is blaming Europe for last season, FA cup for this season.

Also blaming referee's, bad luck, us supporters, OUR own players etc etc etc. Everyone and everything except himself.

Take some responsibility Martinez. After all it was you that said you'd take us into champions league. No one else, you.

Maybe his words were taken out of context. He might have meant "championship" and not "champions league"?

09 Apr 2016 21:45:09
i think he meant to say the CHAMPIONSHIP.

Just a reply to mushy with Sunderland can't catch us 7 games to go 21 points to play for and they play us were only 12 points ahead what school of accountancy did you attend were in big s**t no wins coming you think we're safe with this guy in charge think again always a club gets dragged in and I think that's us mate i'm getting worried reading the knobheads account of today's game only for Joel well would have lost.

09 Apr 2016 23:24:24
Hmm Mossley are you one of those guys who dislikes Roberto, I think he's brill he's keeping us up!
I'm sure we can get a 0-0 at Sunderland as long as we don't concede any corners or crosses.
So calm my friend.

{Ed033's Note - Roberto did say, judge him at the end of the season!

09 Apr 2016 18:48:37
The only good news, Sunderland can't catch us now!
What a terrible state this club is in.

09 Apr 2016 18:57:50
its embarrison mushy wba,and bourmouth are above us. saw bill there today wonder wot he made of it. we still avin got the magic 40 points and the season is nearly over. oh the shame of it.

09 Apr 2016 20:01:49
39 points out of a possible 93. Works out at just over 41%. absolute diagrace.

09 Apr 2016 20:59:28
I'm not defending RM and it our league position is ridiculous but we do have a game in hand over WBA and two in hand over Swansea and Bournemouth.

Not that we'll win any of those games in hand.

09 Apr 2016 23:32:58
Big deal are points total is a discrace, I cannot believe the useless one is still in a job, it does show a very complacent attitude from the board.

09 Apr 2016 17:50:35
It's hard to see on TV, and having had a few cans, but was it me or did the Everton players look like tonight they were a bit frustrated and angry. I got the sense the players are really not playing for Martinez.

09 Apr 2016 18:33:46
They actually played quite well in my opinion. It was just decision making again that cost us the quick equaliser. Stones is a good ball player and because of this and Robertos philosophy, instead of hoofing the ball out of danger he tends to try and keep it in play. Robles couldn't deal with Stones pass any better but to be fair a set piece did us again. Having said all that a draw at this stage of the season is no good to us and to be in 14th is quite frankly unacceptable. Mr Martinez is quite frankly incapable of taking this Club forward and if allowed to remain in charge next season then I am afraid we are in for more of the same.

09 Apr 2016 18:36:05
i got that impression aswell aussie. also did you think jags looked over weight.

09 Apr 2016 16:01:02
I hear what Ed 02 is saying and I some what agree. However. if Moshiri doesn't act soon it will be very difficult to hatch any plans he has for the club. as I am certain we are going to lose some of our best players very soon.

Good point made by Paul Merson on soccer Saturday. all the teams winning the leagues in England at the moment play 442.how long have we been crying out for someone up front to support Lukaku.

09 Apr 2016 10:13:36
anyone think dowell should be given a chance, the kids class.

09 Apr 2016 11:08:08
agreed paul the kid has definitely got somthing,much better than mageady.

09 Apr 2016 09:58:43
I think what really surprises me about this team is that considering Martinez likes players with rather more work rate than creative flair at the heart f midfield Barry McCarthy besic etc who are more renowned for their biting tackles than their killer through balls and incisive one twos that our midfield is so easily by passed by the other teams in the premier league after all the players I mentioned in that position defensive midfield are hardly scoring bagfuls of goals and spraying the ball to attacking players to create numerous goal scoring opportunities which I think highlights just how bad Martinez tactical nous is on the defensive elements of the game god help us if he remains in charge for another12 months.

09 Apr 2016 23:17:26
Your post is a mirror image of what I have been saying for 2 years.

09 Apr 2016 07:50:27
Hiddink worth s shout to replace martinez.

{Ed025's Note - ED02 reckons hes not coming muffer, so i would disregard him if i was you mate..

09 Apr 2016 08:21:49
Hiddink is retiring at the end of the season.
