Wow. Words can't describe how pathetic our performance was today. This was embarrassing. And against our hated rivals too. Yuck.

Wasn't expecting that score.

Does Martinez remind anyone of Martin O Neil? Great out of the gate and then slowly and painfully falters. Even kind of looks likes him.

No sorry,not with look's or in terms of football,I think Martinez is a very good manager and I believe O'Neil would still have been unemployed had Trappattoni not done such a poor job with Ireland.

Roberto's teams have always tried to play football,Martin's team's are more likely to hoof it forward,I honestly think Everton got the better deal when Moyes left,I think Martinez has brought that Everton team forward in such a short space of time,Utd being champions have went so far backwards.

And of course Martinez has won more trophies than Moyes! as for O'Neil I just always thought he was overrated.

Utd put the final nail in the coffin with his time at your place.

The football was so bad under O'Neil I was convinced we were going down. Di canio saved us, no doubt. The rest is history! Lol

The irony is if we had started the season under Poyet, we would stop up this year. I fear that we won't be able to manage that now. Poyet really has made the best of a bad bunch and just the fact that it is possible to stay up is incredible. As I have constantly stated though, we have a chance to get out of bottom three and we blow it. Stoke city tonight and I ain't confident. This would be the fifth time we have blown our big chance.

I think sunderland will win tonight because mark hughes is still trying to get stoke to play the way he wants.

Good luck tonight against stoke steedeel.

[David LFC]

Great win last night should have been 6 or 7, hoping we can add another player to the squad before deadline day linked with Konoplyanka from Dnipro let's hope that happens!!

Thank you gvortex. We are out of the bottom 3 but we have a tough road ahead. We now need to find at least five wins and two or three draws. Bloody tough. It is great to be away from the relegation zone. We can't kid ourselves that we won't be back in it over the next few weeks though.

You're also only 3 points away from 11th place. So, in all honesty, there are a whole lot of teams in the bottom half that have to worry about playing well the rest of the season. Not just you guys. I think your team will remain in the EPL when it's all said and done. Take my word for it.

Yeah, championship football. Has he had any success at ANY club?

That's a big shout man. We still have to go to City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc..
We are not getting carried away. We have a tough, crucial game against those up the road on Saturday. West ham have very winnable match at home. We could be back in the zone by Saturday night. I still think we will go down unless we do amazing deals in the transfer window. No evidence of that as yet.
If we do stop up I will be partying in the street (cup final to look forward to as well!) and I will be acknowledging your positive comments! (Tobs too)

Off work on transfer deadline day!
