The Football.....

[MarkF]

Its London innit. There'll be a day of national mourning when Spurs move.

Yep, the coverage is ridiculous, a middling yo-yo club all over the bleedin news, buttons and pie & eels everywhere and not moving to a state of the art football ground, but a dogs dinner of a multi-sports arena.

Wish id of been with me old mates from Grays and Thurrock tonight watching that , what an end to the West Ham Dynasty at Upton Park

The West Ham "dynasty"? Is that any different to the Halifax Town Shay dynasty? Is it something higher or lower than the Liverpool/Grimsby "way"

Not that you're bitter, of course.

Looks like Norwich and Newcastle are down.

Got to hand it to BFS, his football may be a bit agricultural but he does the job.

I know we (Norwich) are down tonight because we've been pretty rubbish all season but bloody hell, Everton could at least have turned up tonight against Sunderland. I really hope Everton go down next season- it will be about bloody time.

Everton won't be going down next season. But it's going to be a very, very different looking Everton next season.

Sorry about that.

Norwich that is

Believe me, most Evertonians are just as cheesed off with our team not turning up in recent games as anyone else (and in reality far more so). I apologised in advance upthread a few days ago because after the way we have performed recently, most Evertonians fully expected that type of performance tonight. It was a shameful night for EFC. Support for Martinez began to decline amongst fans about 18 months ago, and is now virtually non-existent. Looking at the performances of the players since we beat Chelsea in the Cup in March, it seems clear that they too have zero support for him as they have performed woefully poorly since then. Despite wanting the manager gone, the fans are generally disdainful of the players for their disgraceful lack of effort. So, by all means feel free to hate us, that is understandable, but don't think Everton fans take any cheer from your demise being assisted by our team's dire attitude, those players are a disgrace.

Anyway, just curious, but why do you say "About bloody time?"

Simply the fact that Everton never go down, despite not doing a great deal year in year out, and pissing a lot of us off in the process!

I know the perceived wisdom is "never go back" but isn't David Moyes looking for a job at the moment? I thought he did alright before?

That's cos they are good at doing enough not to go down. That's what life is like for 50% of PL teams, they start each season with a faint dream of winning it or at at least a CL place but know deep down that just still being there the following August will be enough.

Last night, on our way back from Anfield, we tuned in to Radio Merseyside to listen to the general opinion of our performance V Chelsea and there was not one single minute about our game. It was all - every single caller - about Everton and their fans' contempt for Martinez. The general consensus was that the players can't abide him and his insistence on playing the Wigan way has destroyed their faith and belief in him and how his methods are dragging the club down!

There was one woman caller from Anfield and I think they hoped she would be talking about Liverpool but no, she was bemoaning the fate of her 9 year-old son on his way back from Sunderland and what he'd have witnessed up there watching Evertonil.

I'm saddened for some members of my family but dancing a bit of a jig inside at just how bad they've become since Christmas.

Frank de Boer has just left Ajax, off to Everton?
