Congratulations Roberto Martinez - UEFA Nations League title winner

[Brett Angell Delight]

This thread, and the subsequent vaulting are - fittingly - phenomenal.

Just great work @davek @MikeH72

Thank you.

Delighted for him

It's only the Nations League; the Carabao Cup of international competition.

Martinez is a really good fella, cack manager but a thoroughly classy guy, I’m chuffed for him

I have been musing over this.

Roberto, Marco, Carlo and Frank…all likeable blokes who I wish well in the furure.

Koeman, Sam, Benitez and Dyche the complete opposite.

Sorry - didn't see that qualification in your statement.

Oh wait, it wasn't there.

Roberto has managed five times and won silverware at two of the organisations he's managed and gained promotion for another.

I wouldn't bet against him securing silverware again either. He's still a relatively young manager.

As Ronaldo stated post match: the know-nothings should show some respect.

Beautifully put.

So, just for benchmarking purposes, can we clarify that:

a) The Nations Cup is a legitimate competition, worthy of everybody's respect?

b) Winning a cup competition and getting relegated in the same season still counts as a noteworthy accomplishment on one's CV?

It was lovely to watch the messages from Roberto, Marco, and Carlo for Goodisons goodbye. A shame that none of them could have been here under better circumstances. I would add Frank to that.

I shudder recalling Koeman at this club, even above the others.

a) It's third or fourth in status to the WC; European Championships; Copa America.

b) Winning the domestic cup but still relegating a team like Wigan is an accomplishment beyond all comprehension for a team of that status.

Both sound like resounding yeses to me so I’ll bookmark for future reference.

Only problem there is that Moyes - unlike Roberto - is not "a hell of a nice feller".

Think you have brown Polish in your eyes Dave.

It's friendly's by another name.. That's all it is.

He's smashed records at Everton, Belgium and now Portugal.

I know I'm going to regret asking this as I'm talking to a disturbed Warthog, but roughly which records did he smash at Everton then?

I`m going for most goals conceded in a season.
