Apologies for hogging site with comments.
Just gone on video of blues who travelled to Leicester, singing in unison (thousands? )

'Martinez get out of our club'.

Did any of our Directors attend?
They all seem to be quiet tonight.

Bill, for the love of God get it sorted.

From the leicester mercury - Roberto Martinez admits Everton caught up in Leicester City's Premier League celebrations.

Any excuse, it's just comical. Can no longer use the FA cup, now it's someone else's celebrations!

Ii was born early 80s so the winning trophies was a little bit before my time I remember them a bit but not like a few on this site will. Saying that I had to endure senior school in the mid to late 90s (yes the bad old days) so it is now in my working life that I have to listen to the same crap I had in the 90s like we are going nowhere or "if your not careful you will go down" and I use to stand and argue every time but know I am struggling to even convince myself. I'm sorry fellow blues but this team/ manager is killing my passion for this club.

Dont let the clown get you down. i first started supporting them under gordon lee, must have been a fool then, riding a raleigh chopper bike with the match on radio city blaring out, nowodays its in the car with the radio turned down or sitting in top balc with head in my hands. Things do get better once we get a manager capable with a plan b. to many players thinking of the euros today, robles and pennington only stand out players the others might well have sat in the stands.

07 May 2016 21:07:59
Just watched his interview, no excuses and congratulations to Leicester, in a hurry to get out of there but also and more crucially he did not look like a man (same at Wigan) who is going to walk. He needs a big push Bill.

07 May 2016 21:03:09
Hey

. today has left RM 'up the creek' etc etc. don't post often but sorry Bobby you are gone after our last game of the season. we all know it n I am guessing you have come to the realisation deep down. yet again square pegs in round holes. nice guy but hey it doesn't wash no more. just sayin like

Mart.

I heard on radio Merseyside before, that we have already sold 25,000 season tickets already for next season. Is someone taking the piss or what? As I've previously stated i will not be renewing mine while this pathetic excuse for a manager is still at the helm. I am totally raging inside right now . This clown has sucked the life outta me and is slowly sucking the life out of Everton fc. This can not be allowed to continue. Bill grow a pair will you, which you should of done months ago and rid the club of this disease that's been allowed to fester and eat away and make a mockery out of our once proud club. MARTINEZ OUT!

07 May 2016 20:42:20
Jimmy iv renewed mine simply because iv sat there so long and know everyone around me, I simply don't want to give up my seat. It's in no way supporting any board or manager.

07 May 2016 20:44:00
Have a lie down Jimmy :)
But I get your dift, ditto.

07 May 2016 20:56:49
I agree bestyne and cost another 100 quid after this date.

07 May 2016 21:03:02
No the club says season ticket sales are approaching 25,000 which means nothing. Could be 12 could be 24,999 who knows.

07 May 2016 21:11:06
Moneys not the problem bretto, its him.100 notes is neither here or there really.

07 May 2016 20:18:55
Hi guys, United fan here. I know how you guys feel at the moment in regards to the manager situation. But I wanted to ask you and the ed who you actually think is a realistic target? My evertonian friend has said mourinho or pellegrini but without sounding too disrespectful I think both of those will have better options if I'm honest.
A name I came up with to my friend was lucien favre, what do u guys think of someone like him? I really don't know who you could get to be honest?

{Ed025's Note - i think pellegrini is a realistic target diego and i must say i like the look of favre as well mate..

07 May 2016 20:48:52
Diego, you keep LVG and we'll take Jose, we need him more.
In fact we need a miracle right now.
I can't remember ever feeling this bad about my team, in 50 years of supporting them.

{Ed025's Note - count me in on that frank..

07 May 2016 21:24:19
Take Moyes back lol I think it will be someone totally out of the blue who u get, just not sure who.

07 May 2016 20:12:34
Like almost everyone, I I'm hopeing for a press statment saying Martinez has been fired, but if it is issued in the name of the chairman, it should also come with an apology for his role in what this man has done to OUR CLUB, arrogance, only match by incompetence.

07 May 2016 20:31:40
Yes.
I never wanted him in the first place but like most, got behind him.
Only to get sick to death of his words and pure spin.
Possibly the worst manager in the history of the prem.
The most gutless performance I've seen from any team for years.
I haven't seen his press conference yet, I can't even bare to look at him any more.

07 May 2016 20:37:37
No press conference, how the heck can even Martinez put a spin on that. Sadly there will also be no Club statement, Mr Morishi must be wondering what he has bought into.

07 May 2016 20:07:05
Things are bad. Really bad. I have been saying this for 3 seasons now and had more than a few disputes with supporters who told me RM was signing good players. Whilst I accept he has signed 1 or 2 fine players, I was amazed to hear the commentator say that RM has spent more in 2 seasons than Leicester have in their entire history. It is obvious to everyone that the players do not know what is expected of them. Our keeper must touch the ball more than any keeper in the league with all the backwards and sideways passing. Isaid I feared for us last season and relegation was a real possibility. I am now sure that unless the board appoint a new manager, we will go down next season. Even if we do get a new manager, I still fear that our squad is painfully thin regarding attacking flair. Mirallas is probably the only one with the ability to run at defenders with confidence. Barkley has lost his. Lennonis a 3rd team Spurs player and Lukaku looks disinterested. Niasse is an obvious waste of money and you all know my feelings about workmen type players that he keeps signing. I thought that when Osman and Mirallas came on we improved. andwe all know Osman is way past it anyway. Dear me I feel down. Leicester play is astyle as Moyes had us playing in our last couple os seasons with him. I honestly think he may be the only one with the ability to turn it round!

07 May 2016 20:39:20
I'm sure it was Manchester United have spent more in 2 seasons, than Leicester have ever spent, not us. may be wrong tho.

07 May 2016 21:05:02
Degs where are these RM fans who slated us three years ago?
We both said at the time this appointment is disastrous and we got pelted!
Come on 'Bunker Boys' tell us we're wrong!
What a shambles of a club we are.

08 May 2016 03:55:25
I'm with you guys. I got stick too. Sometimes I hate to be right.

07 May 2016 19:57:23
The lack of heart and determination is changeable, the tactics can be altered, the formation can be changed, the 14 million euros spent on Niasse sadly can't be reimbursed. What an absolute shambles our club is. No wonder Mirallas just gets sent off on any given opportunity if he is never picked in this XI. I have said a lot, he is our most technically gifted player by a country mile.
That entire performance plus the derby and so many more abject, spineless and pointless in every sense matches is why nobody is buying season tickets, sod who the manager is.
The players have made the job of finding a half decent new manager practically impossible. The board allowing this level of performance to continue since October has made the new investment sort of irrelevant as all the big names will leave and nobody worth their salt will pick us ahead of the West Hams, Southamptons, even Stokes.
Shambles absolute shambles.

07 May 2016 19:41:52
Does anyone know where you can buy some rope and ladders cheap?

{Ed025's Note - for bobby i hope alan..

07 May 2016 19:26:32
I hope I'm made to eat my words but I fear for us next season.

The player morale looks completely shot and we are clearly out of ideas. I feel most sorry for Robles at the moment because he is a decent keeper but gets little support from anyone else. Our defense is so disorganized it's terrifying.

07 May 2016 19:40:44
If it wasn't for Robles tonight it could of been 5 or 6-1.

07 May 2016 19:47:42
If it wasn't for him quite a few of our games could have been 5 or 6. I would say we might as well not play any defenders but then who would RM get to pass the ball around to make our possession stats look good.

07 May 2016 20:33:48
Love Robles. been great.

{Ed025's Note - he has charlie..

07 May 2016 19:14:04
Tell you what boys, me and all of yous have had a winge at the manager, but our players are just average. No manager can sort this as far as I can see.

{Ed025's Note - you are boosting them up with average BB..

07 May 2016 19:46:45
No excuses for the players but surely it has to be down to the Manager and the staff he brought with him. This is a side that in my own History has never ever played as badly as they have against Liverpool and now Leicester. We have had bad Teams and awful players but these players are not bad players and this Team is not a bad Team. It has to be down to Managers tactics, strategy and god awful belief in a system that consistently failed at Wigan (with the same staff he brought with him incidentally) in short the belief has been sucked out. A nice man but an absolutely abysmal coach and Manager. He just has to go and if any integrity at all he will walk.

07 May 2016 20:02:50
Martinez has no integrity, he will have to be fired, should be done tonight.
Whoever replaces him (we hope he goes) will have a hard time as the squad is weak, unbalenced, and ageing. Next season will be tough even if we get a good manager, if he stays we go down I am sure and many will no doubt agree with me.

07 May 2016 18:59:27
We all know r m is history and he knows that too, so why not walk now? It will be the first time he has shown he has a plan B what a complete plonker, took us back ten years.

07 May 2016 18:57:27
Well done to leicester winning the league but i disagree with the players and ref giving them the guard of honour before the match. We could have gained two places over the next few games so it ment more to us and the playsrs should have been focused on the game. Guard of honour should be after the game.

{Ed025's Note - it would have been more fitting if we just bent over in front of them AB.....oh wait we just did..

07 May 2016 19:04:37
Well and truly reamed, and not for the first time this season.

07 May 2016 19:10:25
Why didn't we just post them the points.

{Ed025's Note - or not turn up...oh wait..

07 May 2016 18:54:34
Sure Martinez will get the blame for today but the effort and attitude of the players today has been abysmal. The fans that travelled to the game have been let down today by the players who just could not be bothered. Pathetic.

{Ed025's Note - i agree evs..

07 May 2016 19:04:58
Yeah I agree, but the manager has caused and allowed there attitudes to drop. They look like they have no respect and don't want to play for him.

{Ed025's Note - they have no respect for the fans either pauly, those supporters have paid good money to go there and watch this bag of shite..

07 May 2016 19:05:22
Lets be honnest its nothing more than a protest, by our team and will all lead to the desired out come, its ugly but its needed at the moment to rid this joker of a manager with no plan B.

{Ed025's Note - tell that to the supporters who payed top dollar to travel and watch that niko mate..

07 May 2016 19:17:08
Martinez needs to go that goes without saying but the effort of the players today was a joke. They are supposed to be professionals and let's be fair there is nothing unprofessional about the money our fans paid today to go watch them play. It was good hard earned money. The players need to be accountable as well.

{Ed025's Note - true evs..

07 May 2016 19:21:28
I agree Ed, but footballers don't live in the real world. Most think that the world revoles around them. Stones hasn't been right all season, Rom is a pre-Madonna. I could go on and on. Only player who has come out of this season with any pride is Robles! Treated badly but stayed quiet and finally got his chance.

07 May 2016 18:48:13
Our back line has more holes than Swiss cheese.

{Ed025's Note - all the team are sub-standard billy..

07 May 2016 18:58:21
It's sad when u can't even play for the shirt and show the travelling fans that you care. poor really BUT congrats Leicester. Hopefully plans are in place to make next season more successful than this.

07 May 2016 19:09:58
You're right. our 'Swiss cheese' defense is being outclassed by 'red hot Leicester'! ;)
