You were the one that started quoting statistics remember. So it's a bit rich to start complaining when somebody else uses them to prove you're wrong.

And by the way I never wrote off Moyes' Everton as being a poor dross team saved by Martinez. Quite the reverse in fact. I would agree that Moyes did a very good job at Everton, that's the reason he got the job at Man Utd in the first place. So I think there was every expectation that Martinez wouldn't be able to maintain it and that cash strapped Everton might struggle and only achieve mid table at best this season.

But that didn't happen, they pushed on achieving a record points total in the Premiership. Martinez got the best out of the existing players already there plus some shrewd loan signings like Lukaku and Barry. They played more attractive football than the functional fare served up under Moyes - I wonder which the Everton fans prefer. They probably won't be able to maintain it but it's this season we're talking about and that's why I'd make Martinez manager of the season.
