Roberto Martinez

Is there a big fanfare around Martinez?

I havne't heard it. Don't have a big problem with him either.

Just another average manager, nothing special IMO. Unlike Keegan,Robson,and Rafa,who were exceptional when managing NUFC.

No, I agree. Just don't see any reason why his name is being mentioned here, or why he's come in for criticism all of a sudden.

Also, he's still light years ahead of Bruce in the managerial scheme of things IMO.

....would take him over Bruce anyday.

Was the media darling a few years back for his attacking style and all round general nice blokedness.

Not a superman but not bad either.

Has he done something amiss...?

Behaved very poorly over that appalling McManaman tackle. Don't care if it was his player he was defending.

What did he say, Zip?

That tackle was insane.

Good to see Haidara playing regularly again in France now.
