    I would hate to see him anywhere else.

    You couldn't have put it better. The two only persons I'll let go is Mike and Kanji, they're good DUDES.
  3. But that wasn't the prompt. Who's to say it would only be a year? That's just a possibility, as easily as being in the Championship for three seasons would be. I think people are taking our last go in the Championship a bit lighter than it really was because we came straight back up. If we hadn't come back up in the first try there would've been some much bigger questions to ask. Or maybe I just reeeeallly want to win something? We all do, and staying in the Premier League gives us the best chance of that. It doesn't like. Only need to win 6 games to win the cup, got to win a lot more than that to win the league. Who said anything about winning the league? We have a better chance of winning a cup if we are a Premier League outfit with Prem quality players, not a bunch of clobbers from the Championship.

    Should have my parents meet him there with some home cooked treats.
  7. The way Elliott's mouth moves when he talks makes me abnormally angry.

    That looks entirely made up.
  9. A cup. So you wouldn't want to win a cup because staying up gives us a better chance of winning a cup? It's a straight choice, man. Of course I want to win a cup. I want to see our club win silverware, I just don't want it to come at the cost of Premier League survival (the way you framed your original scenario).
  10. So you're more bothered about how the club appears to others than the glory of actually winning something? What the fuck? I'd rather stay in the Prem and have a chance of winning it each season rather than win it once and it take years to have another chance due to being relegated and losing most of our core players. It's not a given we'd come straight back up like we did last time. If we want to compete we have to stay in the Prem. it's more important for the club on the whole for us to stay in the Prem than win a single cup.

    Our choices of replacement go down dramatically during the season as well. Much easier to get a higher quality manager in during the off season.
  12. This is my fear. They get their pick before we do. Hopefully they chose wrong and we have a better group to choose from this summer.
  13. Totally looks like something I'd expect to see a British person in on holiday at Magic Kingdom. Collar popped, of course.
  14. The fact that SAF is going to be around in a very hands-on roll almost guarantees his replacement's success to be honest. Anything else is wishful thinking, especially in the short term. It'll still be his voice heard loudest over the next 2-3 seasons.
  15. Why exactly? Because of the fact that he's been capable of making league one players Premier League players, he's extremely underrated around here, it's unbelievable. And as for not having the right players, the Everton squad is a hell lot better than having to play Di Santo, Caldwell, McArthur, Stam, Ramis... Agreed, especially the bit in bold.
  16. No but if Villa get beaten off Chelsea we are. actually depends on Wigan game vs Arsenal, we beat QPR and Wigan fail to beat Arsenal then we are safe no matter what happens final day Best possible scenario at this point.
  17. It's crazy to think that if we somehow manage to win our final two matches we could possibly finish in the top 10 or very near it. Mental season.
  18. Nine matches live on TV here in the States on the final day. The Newcastle match isn't one of them.

    Wayne Rooney makes more in a week than 95% of those dudes make in a year.
  20. Stoke play better football than we do, even with their hoof-ball style, they still play it around quite well when it's actually on the deck.
  21. The "As It Stands" Table (with Sunderland currently drawing at 0-0): http://i.imgur.com/paNA4td.jpg Makes for very reading. Anything less than a Stoke win and we are so absolutely fucked.
