Of course they are. They're above United.

God Greame Sharp is a bitter twat. Listening to him after the match "This is a difficult place to come to. Not many teams come here and get something, apart from City who put 5 past them".
Hmmm forgetting a certain other team who put 5 past them as well there Greame.

They're using their lack of spending as their excuse. 7th place awaits them

Another urban myth by them lot. They squad is the 8th highest assemble in the league. So they are where they are not over achieving at all. Which is another thing they like to tell us.

Don't worry lads, I've heard the Premier League are going to start handing out points for moral victories. They'll be favourites for the title next season.

I went into this thread to see what was the level of bitterness, goodness me they are on form. The debate over Suarez (though you have to admit some of their posters are honest) is absolutely laughable. Like they are pure angels them blues players

Everton have improved drastically this season, but unfortunately for them they have run into us at a time when our trajectory as a club is only going one way.

We already have a stronger team and squad than them and they are losing some of their key players in the summer after they return to their parent clubs.

Martinez is doing a fine job, but there is a limit to what you can achieve with the sort of resources he has. They are about to fall significantly behind us for years to come

Yup Martinez's permanent transfers have been pretty shite if you look at it.

Arouna Kone 7m
James McCarthy 15m
Joel Robles 4m
Antolin Alcaraz free
Aiden Mcgeady 2m

That is about 28 million in spending (Could be worse, could have bought Fellaini) with almost no improvement to first team. Kone is old, shite and injured, Robles has been back up goalie but has looked shaky when he has played. Alcaraz is old, shite and has been injured for most part and Mcgeady is probably just a squad player. James McCarthy has been pretty solid for them but I don't think he is a huge upgrade on Darren Gibson who has been injured all season. In the next year or so they will need to replace 4-5 members of there first team with players like Lukaku and Delefeou returning to there clubs. Distin and Osman getting older. They might sign Barry but he is 33 himself. Martinez will have to be very shrewd in the transfer market just to maintain the quality in the squad.

I wonder if Suarez plays in our system, will he score as much? Apart from Suarez, we don't have an inferior team compare to them.
Delboy = sturridge
Coutinho = mirallas
Gerard = Barkley
Our back 4 is certainly stronger.

There are crazy people on every forum. I'd be more worried if this guy didn't instantly get met by a barrage of abuse by his own fans in response to this insanity !

PL's 2nd highest goal scorer is not better than a kid who has made 2 starts all season.

Wow, is that what they paid for him ? I know he is young-ish (23/24?) but he looks pretty limited for that kind of dollar. A Kings ransom to them.

Well its already plainly obviously for everyone to see what a big loss Lukaku is going to be for Everton when his loan expires.

I'm pretty sure Martinez said when he signed him that he would have been willing to pay £24m for him, let alone £15m, believe it or not

To be fair he would have looked a right bargain when they had just picked up 27m or whatever for Feilani.

They can't let one bad result have them lose faith in Bobby Brown Boxers. He needs time to ruin the defence.

I got called a Mug by a obnoxious little Shit on here ( Lil' something ?) when i had the bare faced cheek to laugh when some posters were saying Barkley was guaranteed to be in the first 11 for England in their opening game in Brazil .

Been fucking proved right now haven't I

He will be a good player no doubt but he's got a long way to go before he gets to the level some people think he's at now.

Barkley wouldn't get in our team, but then again they reckon only Suarez would get in their team.

I think your right ,Barkley wouldn't get in our team on current merit but I think he will become a top player at some stage.

Only Suarez would get in their team hahaha, you've got to love their unwavering deluded devotion to their players. They could be in the relegation zone and would still say the same thing

Lovely reading that. Makes me glad that I picked the right team to support. Fear makes you like that, they are actually scared that we can beat them to the top 4. 3 points vs spurs and we are only 2 points behind them. I can see rodgers getting fired if they don't make top 4.

Then started the spurs game....
