Everton punching above their weight?

Ok they have a few injurys, but their side is better than last year and they are one place lower. They have been in the top 6 for how many seasons now.

I feel the artical was written by a southerner, with said mind poluted by southerner rags.

Patty, I disagree. With other teams, their manager would have less of an impact that what Martin O'Neill has. In many ways, MON is the true Special One in England.

Cheers,

You say that unger a different manager villa wouldn't be were they are. THIS IS THE SAME WITH ALL CLUBS IS IT NOT?

Yes, those losses or draws were very disappointing. A top ten team should beat those teams, but I think the difference between about 7th and 16th is negligible. Even the bottom teams can beat teams 10 places above them in the table. With the turmoil at the club (being up for sale, Redknapp leaving, are we getting a new stadium or not?) not to mention the added burden of playing in Europe, I really thought we were on track to finish 12th or 13th, which of course is still very possible. I'll take 7th for now and be happy.

I don't see Crouch leaving. Defoe maybe, but not to Spurs. He can't return there until the summer. I could see Diarra getting offers, maybe even Kranjcar, but doubtful. Offers that would improve the club, meaning enough money and time left in the transfer window to go out and find someone, should be seriously considered. If someone offers silly money for Defoe, take it. The same for David James, Diarra, etc. I'll take 12th if we are in a better financial position.

You make it sound like Hull City are just like Stoke. City have played alot more good football than they seem to.
