2025/26 David Moyes

[Drico]

Last night is a perfect example of why Moyes isn't going anywhere. I don't know if he'll stay beyond it, but I think he's at least seeing his contract out. In many ways, all the criticism about him is true. He is a stubborn sod who is set in his ways and has a very clearly defined glass celling. I don't think we have much to worry about that though, as when you've been dwelling in the basement like we have, the glass celling is a long way up.

We're not winning the league and we're unlikely to win a cup (though we should demand a proper effort to go on a run). Accepting that means he has an obligation to provide some glory somewhere for the fanbase. That means winning a derby or beating some of the so-called big boys now and again. These games matter for our self-esteem. They provide fantasy for a fanbase enduring mid-table existence, at best. If you're going to basically eliminate winning away at these places - and Moyes's record speaks for itself at these places over the years - that leaves very little room for glory. Last night was glorious. These is a lot of value for a manager in glory. Hopefully he now sees that. And feels it.

First team to win in at OT in the prem era having a player sent off.

It's a really rare occurrence outside of the top 2 or 3 teams. The stats are appalling for 10 men, especially away from home.

Outside of the top 3, very unpredictable League this year

….it is a very odd league table but for once it’ll be nice to watch games involving teams above us and hope they get beat.

I'm not at that stage yet, always like to see at least 4 or 5 teams adrift at the bottom before I start looking up.

Imagine saying you're an Evertonian but going to bed fuming last night.

Which is mad because must red cards are in the last quarter of the game.

Saying that this is one the worst ManU teams and manager of the prem era.

There's players there, and the manager doesn't seem as much of a tit as a great deal of the former incumbents, who has convinced them to dive at every occasion needs looking at, and I reckon they'll evolve when they move a few problem characters on. Sides go through stages of change, only got to look at how city are coping with their rebuild.

Oh The Grand old Davey Moyes
He only had 10 men
He marched into old trafford
Then he marched them home again

And when they were up they were up….

And it stayed like that … Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy !!!


Have that @davek

It'd be nice to watch us beat them more and more often. Or at least try.

Good post that.
