It was a great rant and he got everything spot on. His Men in Black reference was genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I like merse. More because of his men in black type references than his actual football/tactic knowledge. And think he works well on GSS But if there's a quote which sums him up it was from that rant bashing martimez-everton. 'why aren't Everton above Leicester? Hardly any players would get into that Everton team'... Err..what. Edited January 31, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku, Coleman, Baines, Barkley, Barry, Deleofeu, Cleverley are all better than their Leicester equivalent and by a distance as well plus others like McCarthy, Mirallas, Lennon and Besic wouldnt be far behind them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Yeh martinez. Why aren't you top of the league? How dare you. You got better players so why aren't you over achieving to redic heights. May Aswell sack every manager who's in top10. They're all not first with a better squad.

VillaChris Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Everton should be where Palace and West Ham are, even Liverpool with their change of manager and transition. That was the level they were more or less under Moyes each season and the best strikers he had were Yakubu and Saha, Lukaku obviously has a higher ceiling than those two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 31, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2016 Stones is obscenely overrated because he's English and Martinez is an absolute fraud of a manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stones is very good on the ball, this is rare for English centre halves, this skill blinds people to his more fundamental flaws, very overrated player, Everton are stupid for not cashing in last summer's window. Martinez, well, he's shite, all of his teams are a shambles at the back and he fails time after time to sign a good centre half. I mean he spent nearly £10m on a total clown like Funes Mori FFS.

Jimzk5 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Adrian Durham on talkshite this afternoon, starts the show by asking who should start for England in the euros, and stated that vardy should start ahead of Rooney no matter what 10 minutes later he was saying vardy should only play if we are going to play kick and rush, because vardy can only play 1 way he was essentially arguing with himself. id love to know how much this tit gets paid for this cushy job.

coda Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Why do we so often get former small heath players commentating on our games? If it's not Trevor Francis on the 15:00 games it's Savage on BT. words removed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2016 He was fair, but he's one of those commentators that is constantly moaning about something. Even if he's right, it just gets so annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 90's and early 2000's a lot of english fans believed we could genuinely win any tournament we went into. I don't think the majority of fans and media think that anymore. There will still be the odd idiots like Talksport who spout it. But I don't thin kyou'll find many fans genuinely believing we can win the Euros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 2002 was the last one for me (on a personal level, i was 18, on exam leave, my mom was on holiday) if we'd have beat brazil i think we'd have won it (and IMHO we should have) the problem with the building up of us beforehand is the lack of questions that will be asked after, not so much of woy who will be slaughtered, but if barkley is this and that what will be said if he has a quiet tournament? vardy is playing out of his skin, what will be said if his work rate drops dramatically when he's in an england shirt? it'll be back to winter breaks and foreigners as the boys club protect their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
