You can credit a good team, or ref their resources vs ours over recent years etc.
But the whole "we needed them to be on a bad day and us on a good day" is typical Moyes.
That press conference- Moyes gushing over Newcastle like they were something special. Then the bbc reporter says ‘they haven’t won away all season’
He didn’t like that one bit.
