Mariners v Morcambe today. Decent enough performance, though we were flagging last 5-10 minutes. Final score 1-1. I think not having to perform a complete overhaul of the squad, like we did after promotion, is gonna stand us in good stead...

Well it was actually 82 in 3 seasons, seeing as he was only at West Ham for 3 seasons. He was headed in to the final year of his contract and they transfer listed him, after Moyes' departure. It backfired on them and they had to loan him to Saudi...

I mean context is important. first off all, that's 20 signings right there you highlighted. This highlights why some players are maybe not at the level you think they all should be at? When he went in there, he was buying players for a bottom...

If Americans take over read the average prices in NFL and weep!! I know that NFL matches are a longer 'occasion' for fans than soccer, but if the US investors do get in charge and can force through significantly higher ticket prices they will do...

If you're doubting Moyes transfer credentials I think you need to take a breather. No manager is perfect in the transfer market, every acquisition comes with risk. Anyway, he lifted the Conference League trophy with all his apparent bad signings.

I agree with much of what you're saying Dave. However the fact of the matter is, if other clubs are happy to exploit demand for tickets then we simply have to follow suit. Not doing so would be something Bill would have done. We need more than a...

You believe what you want.

What's the fact he left on a free got to do with anything? He's a good player and performed well for them. I will believe what I want. That being that the notion he wasted 300 million is complete and utter drivel. I mean his outlay was closer to...

Absolutely spot on mate

Zouma was a good signing, and they recouped about £45 million on Haller and Scamacca. Vlasic was also sold to Torino for a decent fee. He didn't waste 300 million, don't be ridiculous. He made a few big signings that didn't work, but they werent...

I'm fully aware of his record at West Ham. Did alright imo. Anyway, why would I ask them blerts their opinion on anything? Y'know, seeing as I watched 11 years of him here, and they're the biggest idiot fanbase in the country. But go on enlighten...

The answer is both yes and no. In an ideal world your first choice targets would be in the door ASAP. That isn't always possible though, and I'd rather we held our nerve rather than just swoop in for somebody signing for Burnley because we need...

Still relaxed tbh. Confident with Moyes at the helm. Always found the 'dithering' tag ridiculous tbh, y'know, seeing as he was absolutely second to nobody when it came to his transfer nous. Of all the things you could level at Moyes, having a go...

Is it tiring being infatuated with winding up this forum

I’m convinced Barkley would have turned out to be a much better player if he’d stayed developing with Moyes rather than Martinez. Yes Martinez unleashed him in 13/14 season and we all saw the natural talent he had but then he regressed into a...
