Could see the logic in that actually. He's already made comments to the media about how great we are, angling for the job Fortunately he's got no chance. Aside from failing at QPR and doing the dirty on Fulham, which probably rule him out anyway, he also burned all his bridges here with his crass handling of the Lescott saga.

Whelan is fucking senile. Not even convinced Martinez is good enough for the Everton job

Anyway re: Moyes at Utd I think he will be fine in the league and they'll still challenge for the title. In Europe though? Think he'll struggle. He was always found wanting tactically with us apart from when we played FK Shitbag at home in the groups.

Well, Wigan have a lot less money than us. Check the wage bills. Curious as to why we don't have the 'right squad' for Martinez exactly? If it's style of football then I think you're dead wrong. Not that I'm completely sold on Martinez... worries me he has never been able to put a remotely solid defence together in what, 4 years? And although Martinez has overachieved a bit by keeping them up each year, it hasn't been anything spectacular. Moyes' early Everton teams were almost as poor on paper as the current Wigan side, but he got us to 7th in his first full season. Then 4th a couple of years later. Was Evertons squad in the beginning really that bad? I mean, I rate Wigan as the worst squad in the league at the moment. Not saying you're wrong or anything, was a genuine question. Who were your best players back then? Our best players were Stubbs & Weir at the back and Dunc whenever he was actually fit. Gravesen was in his 3 s*** games:1 good game phase until 2004. Geriatric has beens like Gazza, Ginola & Blomqvist were our other attacking midfield options. Kevin Campbell was our main striker and hadn't been decent since about 2000. The following season when we finished 7th, Li Tie (a player we were given for free by a Chinese sponsor nobody ever heard of before or since) was the midfield lynchpin. Joseph Yobo was the only decent addition. On loan. Was this the time when you guys had Linderoth and Alexandersson? Moyes is a genius now that I remember that Oh god Alexandersson. Yeah, he was so bad that Walter Smith had to gamble on the likes of Gazza. Linderoth just walked around the centre circle looking lost. Waste of a signing. This was the period of when I went to SJP and saw Newcastle beat you lot 4-2. Remember Yobo being a decent player back then. He was a good signing for us. Excellent on his day but capable of some mad mistakes. Like his pass to assist Rooney & the time he tied his lace in a crowded box while Charlton scored against us

I dunno man I think I see Everton's squad as set-up for more direct football if you like, fast paced in your face stuff. I think Martinez prefers slower building sides built on great movement. I wasn't having a go at Everton's style btw, I like it. If yous have money how come you hardly ever buy players then? Fellaini is one of the main reasons we play more fast paced and he'll be off. I personally think we'd only need the right style of centre mid to replace Fellaini and a ball playing centre half to play that slower style. Although Wigan manage it with Gary Caldwell at the back... No money in terms of a transfer pot but 8th highest wage bill I read today.

Derby day Expecting our usual Anfield surrender where we make a deeply average Liverpool side look good.

The amount of points we dropped in the first half of the season in games we completely dominated was absolutely fucking tragic. We should have CL sewn up easily.

Someone will get a steal in Granero when QPR go down. Hopefully us.

imo Norwich are the worst team we've played this season for style of football. Dour, defensive side with a lot of gamesmanship and dirty players. Makes the points they snatched off us all the worse. Fellaini aside we are actually extremely naive and lacking in that dept imo. Our players are too nice and let other teams away with all sorts, hardly say a peep to the ref etc. Doesn't help that we've got Tim Nice But Dim as captain. Can't wait for that dickhead to retire.

He left us because he wasn't willing to be a back up. Was 5th choice after Jags, Distin, Heitinga & Duffy. Is he playing most weeks at Sporting?

Bolton- easy travel to the away game. Forest- got relatives nearby so it's a good away game for me. Brighton- never been in the top division during my lifetime and have a nice new stadium. Bonus points for not being Cardiff.

Why exactly?

Don't think Moyes will get offered any bigger job in England apart from maybe Chelsea and he'd be stupid to take that. The idea constantly pedalled of him taking over Man Utd is laughable. He'll either stay with us or go to Germany, which he's made noises about recently. Schalke & Bremen jobs should be open. Hope we don't end up with Martinez. Never liked or rated him.

Gueye was very good at centre half against us when we played Metalist about 5 years ago. Surprised he's still there.

Samba earning his coin there.

Thoroughly enjoying Warrior's efforts so far.

The important quote in that interview he gave is the part where he rubbishes the release clause the media were banging on about last week. Conveniently left out by Sky and the tabloids today. Also talks pretty extensively about how happy he is here. I think if we get CL he'd happily stay but the board have blown it once again by not signing reinforcements in January.
