At least when a team came to GP they knew there would be a fight.

And when we went away you knew we'd set up for a tedious 0-0 and invariably roll over and get beat. 48 games against the top 4 sides without a win....some achievement that for a 3 times LMA winner.

Martinez is simply a busted flush.
Pathetic is the adjective that springs to mind for trying to deflect the focus from himself by deriding a fellow professional manager.
He needs a long hard look in the mirror.
Time to man up Bobby lad. Taxi.

In all honesty I think it was a kick-back in response to Moyes comments after the game on TV.

Anyone thought that the Martinez jab at Moyes may mean he's heard he's coming back??

As @evertony suggest, I also think it was retaliation at Moyes for his comments.

I don't think it's a secret Moyes would want the job..

Is the '10 years mediocrity' a direct quote or as usual a bit of creative writing from a journalist

What did he say? I was too busy volleying the dog after the game.

Moyes said we were terrible against the rs. He was spot on. Martinez then had a pop back which was stupid. Moyes may have not won a trophy but he did get to a final and top 4. He really did steady the ship and developed a good atmosphere around the club which Martinez has managed to destroy in 3 years. I don't think Moyes returning is the way forward though.
