Everton

Martinez is the first Everton manager thet I don't dislike, for now!!

Yep, he's a really nice fella overall.

I actually think with Martinez and Rodgers in charge we might improve the relations between the two sets of fans over the next few years.

It'd be great to get things back to how they used to be

Moyes certainly created an 'Us and Them' mentality that's stuck around for a while now.

good side playing organised football

Moyes had them sorted as solid hard working unit - many thought (hoped ) that martinez would **** all that up trying to make them more creative but to be fair though he's done well so far.

however - like us, they lack any real depth imo

they have a very good starting XI. a few decent squad players, but other than that ****e.

one thing they've seemed to have done well with is they never seem to have many injuries - maybe they do and just don't notice it, but they more or less seem to have the same starting XI every week.

And take Lukaku out of it and they'd be ****ed.

more so than us with Suarez - cause and this is the big difference between us and them...our higher expectation and pressure on players - i'll tell you now - our 'squad' players, Aspas/Alberto etc would all be getting regularly game time there.

And not fogetting the following sum :-

Suarez's transfer value - Lukaku's transfer value = Suarez's transfer value

and the funny (tho slightly frustrating) thing is....Not only did Everton get a good bit of wedge, but it's actually helped them/martinez - cause it's allowed him to get rid of that lump and with it lose the dogs of war/long ball football and he's got a couple of proper footballers in midfield instead.

My Evertonian mates reckon most of it has been pocketed by Kenright earmarked for another musical!

I hate Adrian Durham with a passion but I couldn't help laughing when I turned on the car radio on the way home to hear him asking whether Everton are just a feeder club.

[Norbs]

They may well be but it doesn't seem to be hindering them too much. Low budget but often on the verges of European football. I reckon their fans are probably on the most part satisfied such is their lack of ambition

I think he was mostly talking about how their success this year is all down to the loan signings but I only listened for a minute given it was Durham and Everton.

Barcelona have confirmed Deulofeu will be put 6-8 weeks. Same muscle injury that affected Messi at the same age

[Roboklopp]

Put where? On a shelf? Operating table? To death?

He says feeder, I say host vessel

Ross Barkley has a suspected broken toe.

[Cormack74]

Good.

Sorry Ross but you're time will come (albeit at a big club) one day.

[Leyton388]

Barkley will be sold in the summer in order for Kenwright to fund his next musical endeavour.
