• Brendan #97,rn\"If there\'s a link between doing well in the cups and doing well in the league... why do most of the Champions League chasing clubs often play a \"weakened\" team in the cups?\"rnrnAt no point have I suggested such a link or mentioned other teams. In line with the focus of the article, I pointed out that Moyes had previously demonstrated that it\'s possible to finish higher up the league and go further in the cups the same season. In other words, Moyes suggesting the focus needs to be PL survival makes no sense.rnrnBrendan #106,rn\"Stan was suggesting that treating the cups as importantly as the league was somehow beneficial to a team\'s league performance.\"rnrnAgain, I wasn\'t suggesting this. I was providing the facts that a good cup for Moyes run didn\'t lead to problems in Everton\'s League position.rnrnBrendan, can you explain why we did so well in the cups and managed to finish 5th, 6th or 7th the same season? And why, ...
  Stan Grace in Moyes bristles at ‘stupid’ cup questions but suggests Premier League trumps trophy dreams for Everton
• Football fans across the board all want to see their teams entertain them with enough good results to win or qualify for a higher level. As if the wants of fans count for anything to those losers who've owned us though. Us lot, after a series of ultra-dubious owners bent on seeking to look after themselves above all else to the cost of us lot, have seen no success and precious little entertainment ever since the now utterly bent Premier League was created, with us as a major contributor with a very few other clubs, all of whom have won trophies and entertained their fans more than periodically ever since. We're the worldwide known exceptions, long-since a mediocre club with no perceptible future except to be used by maybe a few aspirant players willing to consistently give it their all in a bid to be as soon as possible signed by a trophy winning team, whilst our 30 year trophy drought endures. Friedkin and Moyes are content with that, both of them getting mega-richer by the day by...

• Annika #105rnrnCan\'t remember where we finished when Moyes left... 7th perhaps.rnrnWhen Moyes took over from Dyche, we were 17th and one point I think above the relegation zone.rnrnSurely even you can see there\'s a world of difference.rnrnAnd don\'t get me wrong I can certainly accept Dyche was operating under very different pressures from Moyes but that doesn\'t alter the fact that Martinez inherited a much better squad than Moyes did on his return....

  Nicolas Piñon in Moyes bristles at ‘stupid’ cup questions but suggests Premier League trumps trophy dreams for Everton
• I think N’Diaye is hoping Everton toe his line and agree to lowering the asking price for when he goes. He\'s already turned down a transfer to S A according to his dad, so if it\'s not the cash, why is he wanting terms regarding lowering his possible transfer fee?...
