The theory is we ' had to buy him ' = whelans compo for Martinez, aka they knew he was crocked.

out until the end of the season, must be easier to keep the dodgey cartildge and get him a new leg

Did I miss the new rule that says 6 points for winning a derby?:lol:

It's more than three points, that's for sure. Any manager who underestimates the Derby effect is a fool. In Martinez's defence, he hasn't experienced one yet. He'll soon find out.
 
i'll reserve judgement on his derby comments, he may just want all the focus to be on crystal palace at the moment...lets see what he says in build up to the derby AND how the team play

I am going to an audience with Roberto Martinez tonight, if I get a chance I will remind him.
 
It would be good if Jelavic could do some damage coming on from the bench and I think that Vellios has gone backwards due to a lack of first team football. He looked ready against Chelsea and Wigan, so he can't be that far away. He is carrying a knock though.

Not defending or declaring my dying love for the lad but I think that statement was just a general one not directed at the Derby Game. Media mis quote again.

That was my interpretation after reading it again.

Of course, he's got to say the right things, but if, for example, we're comfortable in that game against Palace and the game is under control, then I'd expect him to take McCarthy off for his own and our own good with the Derby in reach. Same goes if McCarthy has made a few reckless challenges and the ref has warned him about it: at that point I'd expect Martinez to act and withdraw him.

They do all only count for three points and even on that logic sparing McCarthy makes perfect sense: we can get the points against Palace without him, whereas it'd be more difficult to get points off Liverpool without his presence.

I do hope Martinez doesn't blot his copybook on this one. There'll be a lot of people watching this unfold on Saturday and wont take too kindly to seeing us shooting ourselves in the foot going into the Derby. We've just got shut of one manager who didn't *get it* regarding that fixture, we dont want another one in a hurry.
