It's quite hard thinking of someone in here who would do a proper job tbh. You'd want a good, active poster who is impartial, not overly biased towards their own team and who knows the difference between wumming and trolling.

Could we get a sticky/announcement or something in here saying there is a spot open? A lot of the ''regulars'' in here don't actively read this thread, either because they aren't Arsenal fans or they steer clear due to the issues you raised in the rest of your post.

Cheers for the useful post :yy:

Your description is pretty much spot on, really. Yeah sure, I'll get an announcement up later, maybe tomorrow. Was planning one anyone and I wouldn't want to condemn people to read the Arsenal thread for such news :wink:

Why is there only one football mod? Seems unbelievably active, doesn't that warrant at least 2 mods?

It's partly why myself and Vlad posted in here really, it is an active forum - and the lack of mods hasn't been a deliberate action. We'd love to get some more mods in here as it's clear that just one isn't enough :smile:

Can still see Arsenal dropping points to someone this season , considering their form at the moment.

Our form picked up vs west ham and hopefully it continues. You guys are way more likely to drop points than us.

No abuse, at least you decided to support Everton over Liverpool :biggrin:

I can't say for sure Arsenal won't drop points but I'm certain Everton will lose more than us. Hopefully Utd and City will do the damage, they've both got more than enough incentive to beat Everton

Our form is improving now that we've got a bit of confidence back. Ozil, Diaby and Ramsey being back will only boost the team and make our offensive play much better. We've been flat track bullies for most of the season

It seems like nobody at Goodison Park is missing Moyes at all. Is it fair to say he was holding you guys back?

If they finish sixth (very possible if we beat them), how different is it to any other season under Moyes? Besides the fact that they're playing better football and playing to win :colonhash:

Nah, I think they are on the rebound now. They should win all their remaining games.

Moyes did have one good season for Everton (finishing 4th AND above Liverpool but they won CL that year :angry:

)

Everton did play in the CL but got knocked out by Villarreal in the qualifying rounds playoff. A similar thing would happen even if they qualified this year.*

True, Bare in mind he's still living off Moyes's back five. People forget Moyes signed those players and they're performing slightly better than last season. tbh I don't like all this hype over Martinez, he'll get exposed in 2 season time

In their defence Villarreal did get to the semi's that year and it took a Lehmann penalty save to stop them getting to the final, so that's some seriously bad luck

Roberto Martinez is so overhyped

BRB Inherited class defence and players like Mirallas
BRB Key players like Lukaku on loan and short term
BRB Dropped £28m for Fellaini to spend on players
BRB No improvement on Moyes

Ask yourself this: had City not bottled the FA Cup final, where would Marintez be? In the Championship?

I know Everton dicked us, but we were badly out of form and taking beatings off everyone. Really hope Martinez never ends up at A.F.C

There are currently three moderators who moderate Football (along with other forums). I'm one of them. There are also Section Leaders.

You can see who moderates each forum one the right hand side whenever viewing a thread in that forum.

There's a lack of moderators (moderators who do currently moderate are either temporarily away, or have lots of other forums to moderate) but that doesn't mean there's only one moderator.

Original post by Pete_91

Also is the football mod always an arsenal fan? Is that tradition or something?

I'm not an Arsenal fan (though perhaps I'm not a "proper" football moderator. Mastermind was never an Arsenal fan. Previous moderators weren't :dontknow:

I know we had Stu as a mod previously and he supports Newcastle.

True but the CL have changed the format for qualification. If Everton did qualify they'd face teams who came 3rd/4th in other European leagues. I'd like to see how They'd do against anyone of the top 3 in Spain, Napoli, Schalke etc
