The wool drums which beat close to our's suggest he defo was at Wigan.
Funnily enough, I'm not sure that's such a positive. Footballers need to be treated in different ways and I think Bobby could have handled Distin better than he did. I don't think there was any falling out between Martinez and Eto'o by the way.
I should add that I'm not at all itk wrt Everton, and my view on the Eto'o situation is just educated guesswork.
Some prankster switched the "Home" and "Away" signs on the doors.

Saw the word metro, moved swiftly on.
We'll get a further update on his man management skills in the summer when there's a few players of ours who could push for a move.
Should be interesting/terrifying.

Agreed can`t see many wanting to stay and play for this `buffoon`
If a manager does not have the full backing of the players then it,s a forgone conclusion. It,s not possible to sack the squad and if the manager then imports kids and untested players in bulk in the summer to overcome the lack of player support then it will just accelerate the process.
Sometimes a club has to look at the situation pragmatically and accept that allowing the unrest and turmoil to go on is just not worth it. I see another big part of the problem is also about the person who hired the manager refusing to accept he may have got it wrong.
Leaders unite not divide both at the board and manager level and all I see is a lack of leadership to the problems.

Well yes I agree with Martinez. Those attributes to tend to grow over time, Paul Scholes was one of the best I have seen with them and he developed them as he grew older (as a young second striker he didn't have them so much). However most players like your Wilshires, Ozils, Osmans display them from a younger age and they get developed over time.
The lack of what could be labelled mental flexibility is at present what prevents Ross being an absolute worldbeater (or potential to be) like say a Rooney had. Whatever position Rooney is played in, he is able to adapt. That to me is the main difference. It's not a biggie and he can still be a very good player, but as you've said he needs to be allowed to play to his strengths next season. I think Martinez has probably expected a bit much from him.
It has taken a manager like Martinez for me (and others) I think to really appreciate the ability of Osman. At times he was a liability under Moyes but I am starting to wonder how much of that was his fault, or how much of it was down to Moyes expecting him to play like Kevin Kilbane up and down on the right wing. You can see Martinez plays to Osman's strengths. It's a real shame Martinez has only got to work with him at the end of his career, as I doubt very much he'd had spent a decade playing right wing in a rigid 4-5-1 had he been.
As regards Liverpool, yes I agree. Can is a class act, and has a lot of similar attributes to Stones (hence why I left him our of the earlier criticism of their defence). Outside of Moreno they don't have a player who can play either fullback role. I could easily see Oviedo and Garbutt being able to play left full back.
You are susceptible down the flanks in that system, but we are already susceptible down the flanks! I am in favour of playing Barkley deeper, but there is a legitimate question of protection behind him. He has shown he can "run the game" in a way very few others can in English football. But last seasons derby we were flying and all out attack. Against QPR he was superb too, but that was against a side who had lost every away game that season. The big question is, can he run the game at Spurs away? If we don't go to 3 at the back I wonder if Martinez will use him in some more challenging games in a midfield 3 alongside Besic and McCarthy.
The really odd thing is that often it's the same people who whinged about Moyes's "knife to a gunfight" attitude. We probably needed a bit of Moyes's dour realism and acceptance in financial terms we are miles behind the top teams. But in the same way, after 11 years ad the squad we had a bit of positivity hasn't gone amiss either. The problem is the results have been awful this season.

LOL at the hypocrisy of you suggesting that I ignore you when that is exactly what you should do if other blues post stuff you don't agree with toodles
your big fat lip is wobbling with outrage as you take the moral high ground again claiming that looking down at other blues who have issues with the manager is what separates us from the kopites
condescending claptrap
Oh aye my big fat lip is wobbling as you're nearly pissing your pampers in rage as I said negative things about other blues. LOL!
BET WER DER BEST IN DER WERLD!
