You know what's great though?

We're just over 24 hours away from one of two great things. There's no downside.

We either:

1. Win the game, get to a cup final and regardless of the outcome the fraud is gone at the end of the season.

2. We lose the game, and the fraud is gone within a few hours.

So in that regard, I'm strangely happy and not nervous about the semi-final.

thats how i was about the derby and nothing happened lol
 
Find it incredible that the new measure of success and what we work all season for is to be in the bottom half of the table and in a semi. And whatever you think about Moyes I think it's insulting to him and to our intelligence that he acts like he's brought us to the promised land by getting to a semi. It's like we're now Wigan not just in terms of results but in terms of expectations.

You have to admire his balls and how hard faced he was when that interviewer asked " How do you feel when the majority of fans don't want you to lead the team out tomorrow? "

His reply " Well, how many of them fans have managed a team to win the FA cup? I can tell you, it's none!!! "

He knows how to upset people, I'll give him that

that answer would have been phenomenally interesting

It is almost enjoyable if we are winning 3-0 or losing 3-0 lol

As much as i hope we win, i'd rather lose by a few goals to hammer it home if the team isn't going to win, if that makes sense? Like we can lose 1-0 and have no shots on target or lose 2-0 but hammer their goal and make an effort. So in the no chance of winning scenario, just finish martinez off, but pray if we actually are outplaying united that they don't score.

Oh, if we lose, I hope we're thrashed, definitely. There's no upside to a 'good' losing performance anymore; I don't want anything that the fraud can spin as a positive from a loss at this point.

It's any kind of win, or as close to a 10-0 loss as possible that I want. We'll be embarrassed short term; but long term we'd benefit from his instant sacking.

Besides still being livid from last night and I was at the 5-0 at home back in 82. I still don't have much to add besides venom and anger.

The only thing I would say at the moment is Everton are being held hostage to Bill Kenwright's ego.

I thought long and hard about whether Martinez could possibly overturn last nights complete and utter surrender and turn it around for Saturday. The justification and reasoning for keeping him on. I can't come up with an answer, he should have been sacked, cup manager or not.

Any Everton manager who goes to that place and fields a team that abjectly surrenders not once but twice there, has to be sacked. Irrespective of where we are in the cup. Our tradition and motto demand it. There is only one man who is responsible for undermining that legacy and it's Kenwright.

Profiteering out of Everton is one thing. I guess you could call it business after all. But standing by while Evertonians are humiliated, in my book that's unforgivable. Any leeway that I would afforded him has completely gone. No Evertonian would stand for that. He's a treacherous coward, a black mark on our fine club. Take your feckin' millions you've made out of us and feck off down to London. You're no Evertonian mate.

I think after wednesday, there is no embarrisment in defeat anymore!

I mean we got beat 6-0 for arguments sake, its not like it's a suprise because we just got rolled over against liverpool so plenty of warning signs along the way.

plus the media won't know how to cope with the fans being happy that they got beat, well among the martinez out demands lol
 
I can't say I hope we lose, or rather we lose, or even frame a loss, as a win, win situation. I completely understand the mindset behind it. But to me, it's just another example of the the mindfeck, we've been placed in as supporters. It's almost Orwellian in it's sinister double-speak.

That's the legacy of failure I suppose, convincing supporters that a loss can be a win.
 
Roberto Martinez: Everton boss not worried about future

Everton manager Roberto Martinez says he is not worried about his future and that the team must "face adversity in an exemplary way".

The Toffees, who have not won in seven Premier League games, lost 4-0 at Liverpool on Wednesday, a result Martinez described as "horrific".

They face Manchester United in Saturday's Wembley FA Cup semi-final.

He said: "I wouldn't be professional if I was wasting my time talking about what people think about the manager."

" When I win the FA cup, I will be phenomenal in people's eyes again. And, I will be rewarded greatly and rightfully so. The real fans and people at the club can see what I'm trying to achieve and that's all that matters to me "
