And the end result will be finishing a place higher than Moyes finished last year and no cup win again. Truly has been a fantastic season.

Should have gone for Vitor shouldn't we

We finished 6th last year and got knocked out the FA Cup at the 1/4 stage
This year we'll finish 5th and got knocked out the FA Cup at the 1/4 stage.
Had we finished 4th and won the cup, i might agree we've had a truly great season.

Can not see us getting 4th - we have blown it. Not only do Arsenal have easy games (which they will win), but they have the main players returning from injury.

Newcastle have become the more or less the joke team of the premier league (and will not do anything against Arsenal).

West Brom play at the Emirates so (that most likely to be an home win for Arsenal).

Hull will not want to put out there strongest team (as they both meet in the cup final).

Norwich are poor and will be relegated (easy win for Arsenal).

Football. Is. Not. Played. On. Paper.

Not having a pop at Roberto at all, but he hasn't achieved anything more than Moyes did yet. Given time i'm sure he will. Just seems you can't say a bad word about anyone atm, yet Moyes is constantly ridiculed.

Have you been on the edge of your seat this season mate? Are you still on the edge of your seat (you should be). It's been a great season....you might agree to disagree...that's ok

Its been a good season for Roberto. A Great season for me would be Champions League or a FA cup win.

A great season for me would be lifting big ears.

 

[parkendmaster]

We've already beaten our best points total in the Premier League, and a win on Sunday would all but guarantee us Europe.

 

[Ring master]

Its been a very good season,even more so,when some thought because having martinez meant we would do bad,me myself i thought we would come 8th with been his 1st season,so to it look's like a possible 5th with a chance of 4th and euro comp with only 4 games left, i think has been brilliant

We finished 6th last year and got knocked out the FA Cup at the 1/4 stage...

... In Moyes' tenth season.

This year we'll finish 5th and got knocked out the FA Cup at the 1/4 stage...

... In Martinez's first season.

I think the adjective "great" is being debated here really. If indeed "great" is an adjective.

It has been a great season in terms of how close we are to achieving 4th. No one thought that would be even on the cards with a few games to go.

And the change to the playing style has been great. A bit worrying to watch at times though!

And the emergence of a youthful squad has been great. (Which OFM should take some credit for).

So it is, and will continue to be great.

We've already got our record points total and most likely Europa league football secured. That's progress if i've ever seen. All that's left now is for fans and players to help each other across the line towards a fourth place finish that will change the club all being well, for a very long time.

There is great quote by Robert Louis Stevenson : "to travel hopefully is better than to arrive". I genuinely believe, for the first season in SO long, us Evertonians are now travelling hopefully....and I love that
