• Darren Few different ways to present this although I know you dislike statistics and facts but here goes: DCL at Everton: 58 goals in NINE YEARS. Or 58 goals in 239 appearances. Compared with: Radzinski 25 in 91 Jelavic 16 in 59 Richarlison 43 in 135 I won’t list Lukaku as unlike these 3 he wasn’t roundly criticized for not scoring enough goals but these three all had better records than DCL. And none of them won anything or deserve any mention in any Everton or football history book. So why the obsession with trying to act like a guy with a worse record than any of them, who showed his true character as a Sheffield lad by joining arch rivals Leeds is the second coming of Dixie Dean? We never gave Mike Newell or Stuart Barlow so much air time. By your reckoning Paul Rideout was Pele. ...

• Omg I really miss Roberto Martinez. At least give us something to make us think we can be better than the sum of our parts. Just something to look forward to. Either that or just give it to us straight. We've brought in a couple of good players and quite a few duds. As a result we have no money to bring any more in atm. ...
  Stu Gre in Chief executive Angus Kinnear talks winter transfer window and progress so far
• I can't believe but I am unsurprised, that a post about Lardarse has turned back to Moyes WTF SAshould never have been allowed to manage this club. He even took credit for us beating WHU 3-0 when he had been in situ half a day. But instead of talking about what a fraud he is and £6 m the richer for keeping a side up that wasn't going down. If I had my way I would have and benitez on carpark duty on matchdays, that is all they are fit for. But let's talk about Moyes FFS...
  James Hughes in Sam Allardyce thinks he did an “unbelievable job” at Everton
• I don’t like Sam, his ethics or his style but in fairness we treated him very poorly. He was clearly stoked to come here. We were struggling. Yes we won that WHU game under Unsie although Sam claimed credit as he stopped by the dressing ro but we looked in serious trouble and he did navigate us well away from the drop zone. The irony is we offered him a short term firefighter deal that he rejected so we offered him longer then sacked him anyway. I don’t think he’d have taken us forward as it were but he might have stabilized the ship and kept us out of the subsequent relegation battles that followed his demise. So from his perspective I can appreciate he feels he did an amazing job and I’m not going to argue him down. But bigger picture he was another panic recruit in an era of incompetence. ...
  Kieran Kinsella in Sam Allardyce thinks he did an “unbelievable job” at Everton
• I believe that Moyes was the best available option this time last years when Dyche lost the dressing room. He did a very good job when he came. Now that we have bought in new players the expectations are higher. He is doing OK but for many here, he will never be accepted. For me he is doing OK with what he has available. We all know whats missing, defenders who are confident to overlap and be able to put in good crosses, players who can find a telling pass to put our strikers with decent chances. I know many, including me moan about our strikers, but Beto did well last year when he got good ball. I don't think he has got many such chances this year. They are both living off scraps. As for Barry, I don’t thinks he is strong enough physically or mentally. I do believe that the Franklin Group will look to replace Moyes at the end of the season unless we achieve a league position which qualifies us for european competitions. My fear here is the Devil we know may be better than the D...
  Neil Cremin in Sam Allardyce thinks he did an “unbelievable job” at Everton
• Sorry, edit button not working. I'm pleased for him. He needed to go somewhere else. Rob Beattie 12: 'We're well rid of'. Right. It took DCL fifteen minutes to score as many goals as our two dummies up front have scored between them all fecking season: that, Mr. Beattie, is two goals in 34 appearances. Mike Gaynes 28: Andy I predict that this time next year you will be eating a whole lot of crow about Barry. Hmmmmm. File this. We were told the same thing by the same poster about Beto....
