Did you think we'd draw with City and Liverpool and beat Palace?

I'd rather have the 12 points I talked about than the 5 u just offered up. An I can prove to you I thought we would draw v City if u want

Wasn't that long ago an Everton manager was getting ripped for not beating these teams away from home and for churning out 'boring and predictable' 2-0 home wins. Now we're applauding one for not losing to one side in bad form and to one poor side on s decent run. In previous seasons with lesser playera we would have expected to beat both of them.

Look at the league table, look at our form, and having respect for the clubs around us.

If you don't mind me asking how can you respect the clubs around us, yet apparently have no respect for the Everton team or management?

No. To be in that fight at the bottom you have to be down there. Pulis has steadied them and they're making progress.

Cool. Just wondered as they're only a point behind us.

I was incredibly proud of the way we held out Chelsea for 89 minutes. Have you seen their budget? What Martinez has done at Everton is amazing (given what he has to play with). Moyes did ok on the same budget but had us playing defensive uninspiring football. With Bobby, our football is very easy on the eye. He plays the beautiful game beautifully.

WBA might still have a few relegation issues but Everton most certainly do not. We have turned the corner

Because the teams around us are where I thought they would be we are the ones out of sync

Any grown man crying over footy needs to seriously re-evaluate their priorities

It's a kneejerk weekend. No football to focus on and idle minds wander.

Things will be back to normal next week when their is a game to focus on.

An whilst you have me, you can question my respect for Martinez, that's fine as I have very little, don't question my respect for Everton as I'm one of the ones who are not accepting of this mess an think our club an fans deserve better, no like those ones who are putting themselves ahead of Everton because they approved of Martinez in the first place will not criticise him so they don't have fall on their sword the effects of this season could be massive time will tell, but 1 thing is for sure Martinez will have done nothing to enhance our reputation to the players here or players we aim to sign

It's also very dull and boring to watch and predictable to play against - over to you ?.

Deluded you if you think this is a matter of poor for, we only scored a respectable amount of goals when we were conceding shed loads now we have tightened up we can't score. You keep embracing the joker in charge an if he comes good I'll apologise an support him. I'll live by the club motto
