Christ, you boys are sounding as defensive as your red neighbours 
I suppose because Martinez has just been relegated at a club with moderate finances playing his pretty football the media are stirring up some trouble. I don't think the Everton owners are the sort to look at things short term, but I suppose you do need to be around mid table at least in his first season.
Everton have better players than Wigan, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Edit: I get the local thing, but please not the crap insults at others. There was a fricking Everton fan on here from Dublin yesterday trolling.

Mate, it was not a dig. Just an observation. Just the reality of it. Juve are a global brand, and atract fans because of how successfull they are.
We get a bad rep in the media, as if we are some kind of yoyo club, that should have been lucky to have Moyes. Truth is, thats bollocks, and its so refreshing that we are trying to play some football, and to look as good at times as one of THE footballing clubs on the planet, sticks 2 fingers up to the media who think without Moyes, we will struggle !

He did it for the whole 2nd half at Blackburn.
I like it. Not sure Fellaini is a good fit i it though.
Sounds like the textbook definition of a "dig" to me.
Some of us are not as fortunate to have been born in a city with a big club.
Supporting my local team is difficult as they've been disbanded and then reconstructed in partnership with a lower league team from within the city itself. The standard is so low, one of their most important players is a drinking buddy of mine.
I supported Man United like every other irish kid my age until I was 11 and made a bold move to start supporting an Italian team. A choice I'm still mocked for today by my friends. It'll never make me any less of a fan then somebody living in Turin just because I live in a different country. Over the years ive apent a considerable amount of money going to games and purchasing merchandise from the store as well

I get what you are saying but you haven't proven that by beating Juve in a friendly shootout, you'll prove that with results in your competitive league.
First three games you have got Norwich, West Brom and Cardiff. If you don't win one of those games this result will then be relegated back to the complete irrelevance it is. Get on a decent run and you can say it was the springboard, if only for confidence or tactical use.

We'll see
Like Pablo said, Fellaini wasn't comfortable being pressed, and Gibson was only okay, but this was a fairly extreme stress-test for early doors like. Bringing Ossie on in that formation was almost suicidal because he's really Acm only, especially now. Coleman and Baines were deeper yesterday than at any other time this summer, they've been over the halfway line whenever we've had possession, with Gibson/Fellaini dropping between Distin and Jag's as the option

you just try supporting an italian team, in the benelux.
where spain and passing are worshipped, an italy is the big evil
We as much as any really should just relax every single summer. It just all comes together wrong for us. Our league starts later, we get grilled for fitness, and then the general indifference that all clubs have.
The only thing interesting for us is fitness and tactical cohesion. As long as we are competing that's good enough.

Fair enough.
But you picked a successfull team. You have chosen a team that is a large club. You could have picked any team, but chose the most successfull in its country.
I have not, I support the team I was born into.
