I see Everton didn’t take any such chances by fielding an inexperienced side despite their squad being as threadbare as ours ! Job done and relax !
Looks like I’m going to have to keep posting this quote until it gets through:
Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez defended his team selection for their 1-1 FA Cup draw against Bournemouth.
Martinez made nine changes at the DW Stadium and could only salvage a 1-1 draw after going behind to the League One outfit.
The Spaniard said: “I do show the FA Cup respect.
“There are youngsters here I feel have a bright future, but we will never accelerate their development unless we play them in these competitions.
“That is what we have to do at this club.
“I don’t just want to win games in the short term.
“The first team has to be part of a learning process. Fighting relegation is not an environment for youngsters to show what they can do.”
[/quote]
To be fair Griff, you did say when asked by me that you do not condone this policy in the FA Cup ![/quote]
So what? Contrary to what many on here believe, I don’t actually run the club/team. It matters not what my personal view is, the view of Roberto – as clearly stated above – is that he will use cup games to give new blood a chance. It is not done to rest more senior players, although that it is an obvious by-product.
What the fek are you girls babbling on about? :angry:
Look, you knew he was going to field a load of fringe players, you knew that Bournemouth would have been up for the battle, irrespective of what league they are in [we’ve been there don’t forget], you knew there would be no atmosphere rousted up by the sparse home crowd, you knew bobby doesn’t really put these cup games as a high priority…so why the fekin dummies being spat out you bunch of moaning tworts.
Dave once again yer fingers have gone into gear before your brain. Calm down lad and stop quoting fekin end of season points tally having just seen a bunch of fringe players drawing a cup game. :ohmy:
That’s about as much as I’m going to say on the topic if you really want to carry on moaning please feel free and I’ll log back in about wednesday. :kiss:
John,
You must be easily pleased, feck me……[/quote]
No I’m not easily pleased and you can confirm that by talking to my mate who travels with me. What I don’t do Dave is get too excited when we play well or get my knickers in a twist when we don’t. I’ve told you time and time again don’t go on the anti-Martinez campaign every time we lose or you will only look a fool again if we do our usual escape act. It took LMB a while to cotton on and its taking you longer for some reason.
We have been in worse positions than this and got out of it. I’m loving it as we are up against the media, opposing fans who think we have no right being in this league and yes up against our own fekin fans now.
You come on here and claim that you would love it if we get relegated and you can’t wait to post when we lose.
Fekin get a grip man and grow up, we have gone down this road on numerous occasions so by now you should have learnt. :angry:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!I see Everton didn’t take any such chances by fielding an inexperienced side despite their squad being as threadbare as ours ! Job done and relax !

So you told Roberto to pick that side in order to rest a few players?
oh, piss off Roberto! Stop taking the piss out of us fans. Here’s someDave will be saying he knew all along we`d get to Wembley :lol: :lol:

BUMP!Mcmanman not good enough, oh dear ! :woohoo:

BUMP!Mcmanman not good enough, oh dear ! :woohoo:
You are Dave.
With the benefit of hindsight there is some egg on faces from both Dark and Lightsiders ! We were mostly all wrong in our assumptions ! I ate humble pie and in true ‘coming out of the woodwork’ style went to the final !
Fil, At the risk of sounding superior, there was no egg on my face. Let me explain why …
When Roberto explained the reason he played the youngsters in the cup matches, I must admit that I was disappointed we didn’t play our strongest team but… I supported them anyway and only expressed my disappointment in private.
When Callum Macmanaman was first called up to play in the first team, I remember commenting to my son that Martinez rated him very highly but personally I couldn’t see it. A few games later I changed my opinion and commented that he may have something after all. The rest is history.
When we won our way through to the final, I thought privately that we would be beaten but I kept these thoughts to myself and publicly proclaimed that we would win at a canter. I went to London, for four days, determined to enjoy the experience whatever the outcome. You can imagine my unbridled joy when the miracle happened.
What I am trying to say Fil is that we all have the same doubts and frustrations but some of us have learned to choose our words carefully. Once something is said it can’t be unsaid and there is always the danger that you could make yourself look a proper chump.
History was made at Wembley but unfortunately our relegation is now part of our history as well. The next page is still blank so have faith – it may tell of our return to the Premier League or European glory :)
Apologies if this post is too positive for you, it’s just my old-fashioned set of values which have no place in modern society. ;)

At the risk of getting sycophantic, I am starting to get worried now. when I read 99% of posts, I think… I would have written that, word for word.
Again, on this occasion, I couldn’t agree more with everything in that post.
Would you like to go for a drink sometime? ;) :blush:
