• https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cly53k69xj1o Crying about a 40 game season. It’s absolutely standard for this f***ing shit show of a football club. And we still can’t scrape a f***ing team together. Everton Football Club is the literal embodiment of death by a thousand cuts - never really competing, never win anything, never have star players, can’t buy a striker, never get relegated, no fight or spirit whatsoever but drift around the lower echelons of the league ad nauseum. The most boring f***ing football club on Earth. Yet another season gone by January. The entire football club from the top down should be utterly ashamed of themselves. No way does this manager, bunch of players, owners deserve these fans. NO WAY!...

• Martinez No No No His success was built on Moyes rigid defensive mindset so when he took over he allowed the players to express themselves. Like leaving a dog off a leash. Unfortunately he had no idea how to set up a team defensively and in his second season were were so open we leaked goals like a sieve. He managed the best set of footballers to come out of generation and should have won at least a Euro with the talent he had available. Even Lukaku raised his eyes when it was announced that he had become the Belgian manager. We said it with Moyes, never go back, at the time he was the tone available and willing to take on the job but it definitely applies to Martinez. we have more time to make a measured decision....

• Paul#13 less than a year was a long enough for a down and out Aston Villa after Emery took over. They were 16th when they binned slippy, the same squad under Emery finished 7th 24 games later. It's interesting that a Club which had battled relegation for a couple of years could find a striker such as Durán for under £15m less than 2 months after the Spaniard took over. Under Moyes we've spend nearly twice that on Barry and we all know the cheaper options that were available because we all talked about them. Tete? Moyes acted like he was the only right full back available in world football. Buy poorly you get crap. Ok, we've had to spend a couple years selling in order to stop FFP looking even worse but even then we spent millions on rubbish. I think we can all probably count on less than two hands the quality players we've signed since 2016 which was a decade ago. We've had maybe one single striker worthy of the name in nine years. Lampard spent nearly £70m and...

• Interesting Laurie, because I’d love someone like Martinez, to completely change the structure of the club’s whole academy system. I think he’s much better at working with young players and he could turn our academy into one of the best in the country by completely changing the way our young players are coached?...

• When I have watched Dibling, I have seen a kid who is lacking confidence, who looks like he doesn’t know if he his coming or going, and he definitely doesn’t look like he his enjoying playing for Everton, right now, although none of us know what is going on behind the scenes. I often say that football is full of lip service though and when he signed, I remember shaking my head after reading that Moyes, would be the perfect manager for him, because I have never seen much evidence of David, nurturing young talent before. Sure I’ve seen him play kids but I’ve never really seen him develop them into top players, because David, has always been a discipline first type of manager, and very few young players have got the natural discipline required, for a cautious coach like Moyes? (IMO)...
