I say a Capital One Cup semi final exit is just as useless as finishing 5th. Actually it's more useless
I want him out , have done since xmas, have made a piont of saying he has done well every time he has done chelsea game for example, its just that he doesn't do it that often that it looks like its all one way.
If we win all are games I will say well done , but still think on balances he hasn't done a good job over the last two seasons and don't think he is the right man long term.
Hope I am proved wrong because it means we are doing well.
I'm glad you've brought up next season mate. If Martinez is still at the helm, I foresee a meltdown before a ball is even kicked.

"What a manager...What a manager and a remarkable man".
I feel for your minion's well-being but I'm going to have to put you to the sword again.
Everton 2 Sunderland 2
Bill Kenwright has given his full backing to Walter Smith's troubled Goodison Park reign and assured the Everton manager that his job is safe. Mounting speculation that Smith would either quit in despair or be fired after becoming embroiled in a prolonged struggle for Premiership survival was dismissed out of hand by Kenwright after the 2-2 home draw with Sunderland.
The Everton owner broke his silence over suggestions that he was contemplating a change, with Preston's David Moyes supposedly in line to take over, and said: 'I am meant to be announcing Walter's departure, if you believe all you hear, but nothing could be further from the truth. I want to make it clear that Walter is very much the man for the job here and will still be in charge next season. I know there are a few dissenting voices among our fans, but you have to acknowledge that our injury problems this season have been without parallel.' Kenwright added: 'Walter and I speak the same language. We both know the score on finance. If I had £150million, believe me, it would be in Everton's bank account. But I haven't and we have to operate in the real world. It is easy to knock the manager, but just look at the problems he has had this season. Throughout it all, Walter has stood there to be counted. He has been honest and faced his responsibilities and I have never had any doubts that he is the right man for us.' There could be a reprieve for Paul Gascoigne who looked certain to be on his way out, with 12 months left on his agreement, after allowing his fitness to suffer during a six-month injury absence. Kenwright said: 'The final decision will rest with Walter and will be influenced by fitness levels, but it is my hope that Paul will be with us next season.' Kevin Phillips twice struck fine equalisers to force Sunderland back into the game after Idan Tal and Michael Ball, with a penalty, had put Everton ahead.

Swansea City: Marcelo Bielsa linked again - but is also touted as a contender for Everton
MARCELO Bielsa is again being linked with Swansea City.
The former Argentina and Chile boss came close to taking over at the Liberty Stadium in December only for his move to Wales to fall through late on.
But there are suggestions in Bielsa's native Argentina that the 60-year-old is ready to take a Premier League job this summer — and that Swansea is a possible destination along with Everton.
Current Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin sees his short-term deal expire at the end of the season and, though he is keen to stay, there has been no word from the club as yet about whether he will be offered a long-term contract.
Former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has been heavily linked with a return to the Liberty, and it is understood the Northern Irishman is open to the idea of coming back to the club he led into the Premier League five years ago.
Now there is speculation in South America that Bielsa could yet end up taking the reins at Swansea or at Everton, where Roberto Martinez is under some pressure after a disappointing Premier League campaign.

We're 12th in the table after finishing 11th last season. That's the only FACT I need.

prefer being behind the times
No.... Its coz we win one then loose loads after. It's a pattern we all know. If we were able to win a few on the bounce we would believe again
We havnt got the 12 pionts yet,
And with the exception of Harvey, all those others took over at pretty dire times not with well established top half teams,
Even Harvey had the backbone of the successful team taken from him through tranfers and injuries.
Whats bobbys overall prem win rate by the way about 36 % and one top half finish in his prem career .

Minion logic when Dave makes a semi-rational point:
'i agree with Dave he makes a good point ye have to admit that. Sick of people on here with negativity he is building something'
Minion logic when Dave makes a complete Toblerone out of himself:
'oh Dave has got you all good, he is the WUM king, fishing expert, fight the good fight, your my hero, make love to me Dave, you can never be wrong'
... And so on and so on.

Two cup semi finals doe lid. That negates it and shoes we're making progress.
(Don't mention that Moyes got us to two semis and a final before though)

People getting way too hung up on points...
United won the league with 80 points in 2011
They came second with 89 in 2012
Positions mean everything at the end of the day in football, comparing points on a season to season basis alone isn't particularly accurate
