They don’t just hand Manager of the Decade out to just about anybody.

I think it says more about your lack of imagination/ability to construct anything close to a coherent argument than it does about Moyes. All I hear are a series of grunts.

I mean I write it and you go "UHHH BUT MUH MOYES" so what's the point here mate?

Leave it. The ignore button is an excellent option for you both

Brentford are the only team that I can recall pumping us at home. Spurs and Newcastle were freak games were everything they hit went in and we were by far the better team against Bournemouth for 95% of the game, even with 10 men.

Really?

Newcastle could have and should have had a hatful, likewise Bournemouth. And Spurs have won one of their last 12 league games (or 3 of their last 20 League games if you'd rather) but still blew us away 3-0.

I reckon there’s a case for both backing him and wanting something else. And that’s sound, as long as the debate is good natured and not repetitive thread killing. The problem is the few that wanna shout loudest and dominate the debate with their overbearing point of view, and be rude to others.

Sadly the only way to gut them is to be a gigantic mirror and behave in an identical way so they absolutely don’t know that you’re parodying them. The thick, tragic foghorn. I’ll harpoon every single last one of you and gut you alive in front of the entire forum, lads.

I reckon you have picked the wrong side if you wanted posters who will lose their heads! Too late too change up now chico

You're likely right - except I am not a "hater". People can dislike the Moyes style, wish for a more entertaining and progressive approach, and still appreciate the man's basic competence.

I'm not saying the Friedkins will remove him in the summer - unless that was the agreement. I think, politically, that removing him is very difficult if he has us where he has us now. The optics won't help them if that's what they want to do. That said, I think a club with serious ambitions has a serious decision to make. Moyes will take you so far. I don't believe it is far enough, but it might well be for the Friedkins (I see no evidence that their plans are bigger than stabilisation, monetisation of the stadium, and flipping). If the man has us in Europe, then I think he'll have earned another year (despite his poor record in developing our expensive young players, which should terrify the owners). I have always said that if a manager gets results, everything else is noise. Being top half but out of Europe doesn't move the dial for me - especially as we will point to the appalling and indefensible home form as the cause of our failure to make it. That's why Moyes is infuriating. He is always very close to achieving something impressive...but he always manages to sabotage himself.

Great post, well said.

Almost identical to how I feel. It’s ok to acknowledge & appreciate the job he’s doing, but also at some point consider moving on to what ever the next level for us is & whether that includes Moyes.

And that’s exactly what I think alot of folk think. They see his pro’s & cons for what they are.

The fact some posters want to muzzle the fans into only speaking about him in one way only, is just poor form in my view.

It’s perfectly acceptable to pass comment on his tactics, subs, starting lineups etc, but equally acknowledge he’s done a good job getting us to 8th.

Both things can be true. Which is something some can’t grasp.

Rice grew up playing as a centre back. He only started playing midfield after he made the first team.

Ah, so his U5's caps at Wheathampstead Tornadoes counts too?

Yeah, that's why SAF has won it (apparently), he's had a few achievements.

I sometimes like to flip stance 180 degrees just to see if there’s superior anger opportunities on the other side and to live up to my Nick Barmby nature mate.

Come at me bro...

Hear, hear I mean...yeah, that's it.

Ohhhh, so that's what @Kevsleftpeg and @DualityNSNO were doing.

Well, one of them was.

NO LONGER LIVE DUE TO MOD INTERVENTION IN THE DAVID MOYES ARENA.

The sentence at the top burns my head out, why is the “but he is a winner” bit needed?
