Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[eddy]

End of the day - our away form has us 7th in the table, no denying that - but it isn't champions league form.

Am i being dead thick? why are people doubling up the points from the away games?

To try and sugar coat the fact that the manager Martinez is basically an incompetent oaf who talks drivel at every opportunity
whilst getting paid 60k per week ! These tables shoould show were we would be if we had Messi and Neymar and allocated 3 goals each game to them and their efforts, about as much use really hypothetical this, hypothetical that ..... we are where we are with a dellusional fool managing our great club and taking us backwards ..

Haha, how long ago was that? Pretty sure I offered an apology afterwards like, as I WAS drunk, and it was said with tongue in cheek, even if I am too tight to pay

Not sure I see the relevance though.......

 

[mkrudden]

Don't think so mate. Unless I drunkenly posted it an forgot about it like.... That whole sentence makes no sense to me though. What was your point?

My point is, slightly hypocritical no?

This is you:

Haha, as if I'm paying extra for internet. NEA.

It's a nice website and all, but it's just not worth any of my money. Let's be honest, it would die a slow death if it was only open to paying members.

I can appreciate that the site needs to be supported, but I'm passing the buck

in response to this from the site owner:

Blues,

This is going to be a "I'm not reading all that" type of thread, but please persevere with it, as it concerns the future of the forum - there may become a time where you won't be able to read anything on GrandOldTeam again.

August 2015 proved to be our busiest ever month since establishing in February 2007. Thank you for visiting, and contributing to GrandOldTeam.

Every year, we have more visitors visiting us, contributing more posts than the previous year and of course, we're made up with that. It's testament to the community we've all built here but for the first time since we began, I'm genuinely anxious about whether this community will be here after this season.

You might have heard recently that Apple have recently enabled ad-blocking in the new version of its mobile software to give their customers the option to block content "for an improved mobile browsing experience."

This move has had it's fair share of criticism, because it's potentially crippling for the likes of GrandOldTeam, because it takes "revenue away from publishers who depended on adverts so that they could provide their readers with free content/platforms"...

So you're here, at best, think that GrandOldTeam posting regarding generating support for funding is funny.

In reality, it's probably not funny but each to their own.

Yet you are now taking exception to someone who is equally having a laugh:

Highly doubt he said it. Just another WUM who thinks our current predicament is hilarious and something to joke about.

Hypocrisy, no?

Back on topic, thank God @Moomin is having a laugh. The mood around isnt one you'd expect semi-final week. The manager has alot of work to do to ensure we are competitive on saturday

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Burgered if I know

As for our away form - could easily be as low as 15th in a fortnight or so. What will 'berto be pointing to if that becomes the case?

"We have managed the 'nth' most goals against the bottom three"

No more excuses. No more distractions. Just GTFO.

I feel really stupid reading some of the posts doubling our away form, i have no idea why.

If the away form is "champions league form" apparently, why aren't we doubling the home form or trebling it for that matter seeing as its hypothetical.

Nor do I mate, was just clarifying it so that @mkrudden could rest easy

i've clarified now my mate. It might still be irrelevant, but i gave it a good go.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Not defending our form at all. I've said it once, and I'll say it again.... It's not been good enough.

However, A) it's not fair to attack him, or laugh at him for THAT comment. B) It was a pretty accurate comment, even if it does slightly deflect from the question of our overall form.

A) Is.

B) Isn't

Not really the same as posting fictional quotes from the manager is it? Luckily, I know he's a wum. But some posters were actually thinking our manager said that......

How is it an accurate comment? the table states our away form is the 7th best in the league. That is not champions league form. not by any stretch.

Everyone would piss their knickers if we heard Klopp saying that their away form is champions league form. they are 3rd in the table or something

Its clutching at straws.... its embarrassing.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I'm being a proper tard here maybe but...

Martinez is correct isnt he?

No.

And that`s what Martinez has got us resorting to, if this, if that, but for this, but for that..... what people fail to realise is every
club in the league could use the same formulas.... table don`t lie simple as .....

 

[mkrudden]

No.

elaborate Eric lid?

 

[Ashtonian]

See it makes me laugh.

We break down everything he says in these press conferences and now he has gone through so many terrible lines he is literally making facts up to try and appear like he is doing an anywhere near decent job.

It like he says it, people nod along, then its a case of 'hey wait, thats not right, roberto?' and martinez is already out the door

Pretty sure IF we win at Anfield, we'll be in the top 4 on away form.

Not holding my breath for a win at the pit like, but don't see what's so outrageous about the comment.
