Quote from Pienaar in today's Guardian

[toffeejack]

lets put it this way, they are getting payed millions within a matter months for playing a hobby. It's something that means they can retire at 35 and never have to work a day again in their life (shouldn't have to anyway).

damn right they should go out and enjoy every moment, not be scared of it. You'd imagine most would have picked it up as a hobby to start with, otherwise they would have never started the sport in the first place.

Thinking about it, he might just be the most positive person I've ever come across

Ohhhh Bobby Martiiinnnneeeezzzzzz.

It's amazing what a lot of positivity and self belief can do to a group of players ay. Maybe that's all our lads ever needed, that self belief drummed into em to give that extra 25% in games?.

Moyesy used to say that the kind of players you have dictates the style you play and in some aspects it does but I think Martinez and our players have blown that one right out of the water!. Were still a work in progress but were doing brilliantly just now and long may it continue, no more of this 'taking a knife to a gunfight' bollox, lets stay positive and believe we can go anywhere and win, and win by playing well!.

Bobbies smile greases the groin of life
When 'the last fella' smiled he looked like he was doing a toilet.

...BBC are reporting that Barcelona are keeping an eye on him as their future Manager. I suppose this type or rumour is inevitable and long may it continue because it reflects how well we are doing.

From The Sun, though.

I hope he does become Barcelona manager eventually......it means he will have earned a shot at that job by doing fantastic things with Everton.

Great read that.

I wanted Martinez here but he's way surpassed my expectations so far.

Nah, Martinez is more of a Men-TALL-A-TEE kind of guy.

 

[Deleted member 28206]

I'm just made up we are winning and playing exceptional footy, the guy could harvest DNA for all I care.

His mindset is superb and it's working for us, when i think of Everton i just feel boss all the time.

 

[Pat's Van]

I like Roberto.

 

[evilwebby]

Mentality is everything.

 

[bluemangroup]

I like Roberto.

I'm with you on this.

Presumably he said pretty much the same things to the players at Wigan. Remind me, how did that all end?
