a terrible game? Put those sunglasses off man. You have been shit for four seasons and yet you still manage to win the title.

What? I was just saying this was a terrible game. I'm not talking about past years or the league in general. Like I don't know we've played tons of shitty games over the years...

martinez is doing a splendid job. it's incredibly short sighted to look at some results and say he's caused them to regress.

i'm impressed that he's been able to instill a new, pleasant playing style in such a short time.

they're everton.

Thank you!

We've still got nine games to play, don't jump to conclusions just yet. Plenty of tough games on the horizon, particularly if we get a decent CL run going.

I still think Man City will drop points here and there through t the rest of this season. Although them being out of CL and FA Cup (maybe) might help them to tighten up a bit more.

I honestly fancy Chelsea to do the job!

With their games in hand City are our closest rivals, despite the talent in their squad Pelligrini is no Jose.

To talk a bit more seriously than acting straight douche towards your douchness;

We have changed our system completely. When Martinez talked about played a different football which revolved around passing and maintaining possession, I thought 10th would be a great place. Our players are dinosaurs who have been tamed by Moyes with super ugly football of hoofing and physicality. Yes, the start of the season gave me hope of finishing around 5th or 6th, but the fact is everyone at Everton and his dog knew that this was a transitional year. Even Baines and Jagielka have been sub-par players, when our most

We haven't spend a lot of money, cut our wage expenditure by 30%, Pulled a profitable financial year for the first time in 7 years and have upped our full development in youth football (Got the semi-final in both Under 21 and under 17 team) and changed the philosophy of our club mentality. Youngsters such as Stones, Robles, (Alcaraz to a certain degree) and Barkeley managed to get full experiences without being overburden (meaning they can be as shit as possible and Martinez will just encourage them to keep playing). Outset our old dinosaurs such as Osman and Hibbert, while absorbing experiences from the likes of Being Barry and Jagielka. around 6th and 7th is just a topping on our cake. Why, we have no striker, no attacking midfielder and rely on full backs to create chances. We don't have the fundamentals to even compete in the league, never mind competing with the likes of Spurs and Man United who spend shed load of money. On top of that, the players are just being told, just enjoy your football, nothing else.

None of above could and did not happen with Moyes, and if that doesn't scream to your ''progress' nothing will and I'll just ignore your idiotic ramblings as white noise.

Quoting it again so it doesn't get lost during Man City's comeback. I hate to repeat myself.

I'm not saying we don't have a chance, but it's still too early to really consider it. So much can happen between now and the last game, Jose or not.
