2025/26 David Moyes

[MACCA75]

Bored of saying this.

Strongest league in Europe doesn’t mean it’s a strong league - just means the PL is average and the European leagues are worse.

So it’s a rubbish league but also the strongest in Europe/the world? So either the entire world has suddenly become rubbish at footy, or you are wrong on the internet. Which is more likely?

They're not his players. And guess what, you dont always get value for money....see Liverpool FC for the most obvious example...or Koeman's Everton for that matter.

So what? Last season our players weren’t Moyes’ but it didn’t stop you berating him every week.

Everyone in the world is rubbish at footy.

wtf are you chatting?

Pl with all its money & revenue that dwarfs other competitions, has consistently always been the “strongest” in Europe, barring the European super powers like Bayern or Real etc.

You bringing the joke ECL league table up as some barometer of excellence in another post is stupid as well, but carry on fella.

Is your brain struggling to accept that the PL being average, it will still be better than European leagues?

Not ever.

Even in time since Moyes left we had managers who had Even in Europe.

Im making the point that all managers, not just everton managers, will seek to manage expectations from fans, its partly self preservation, which you cant really blame them for, its not a very stable job at the best of times

I've heaped praise on my Moyes the last two matches, I really hope he doesn't revert to putting gana back in the midfield on Saturday and actually rewards his players that have delivered the last couple of games. Don't disrupt a good thing

He never used toin his first stint

If you got in the team and played well, he tended to keep you there until your performance dropped (or, if you were Phil Neville, you lost the picture of the incident with the goat ..)

Dave is a miserable git and makes this forum a really hard place to visit, but I do agree the league is poor. It might very well be the strongest in Europe, but the quality of football across the world isn't what it was 10+ years ago, for me.

Football has become all about strength, pace and keeping your passing stats high. 20-25 years ago most sides would be filled with technially gifted players and the odd athlete in the side, now it's the complete opposite.

Yes it’s getting very frustrating to come here, win lose or draw, bad run, good run and read the same thing day in day out from one single person with logic of an idiot. It’s getting meaningless and I wonder if it will reach a point of traffic/revenue drop for this forum.

The report button is your friend.

He’s had many a thread ban over the years for clogging them up with his insanity.

You lot have all been on here long enough to know how he works

Removing ads whitelist is another efficient way of silent protest.

Tbh mate yes, I’m struggling to see how a ‘dog dirt’ league (you weren’t saying ‘average’) is still the strongest in the world.

I presume you are comparing it to previous Premier league seasons, well which ones? Be specific and I’ll have a look at how deep the quality was. Maybe when Bolton, Ipswich, Norwich or Wimbledon were finishing top 6? You tell me.

His comments the other day can be taken several ways. One is that it's his usual tactic of belittling the club and bigging himself up. The second is that it's an attempt to keep any perceived pressure off the players. The 3rd is that it's designed to put some pressure on the ownership to improve the squad in January. Only Moyes knows which one

The third.

Try not to pay attention to pressers and such, but from what you do hear, he's just cleverly calling out the owners without using names.

It's standard mental tactics from a manager, saying we need more/better but without wording it.

Some fans purposely look at it as belittling the club, or just dont understand that side of the game.

 

[Swartzy]

Disagree.

I think there's less great teams and a lot of 'above average' teams

Competitive close results can mean anything. There's more teams that are great, poor, or somewhere in the middle. I think there's a lot more teams who are somewhere in the middle than normal, personally. A lot of the teams you'd expect to be in their own pack at the front; Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, are all very beatable. Equally I think there's a lot of teams who you'd expect to be from 11th-17th who are very hard to beat; Palace, Brighton, Sunderland, Us.

Doesn't make the league dog muck.

Works both ways

Solid league - results will chop and change from expectations.

Weak league - As above.

Dave now resembles King Lear at the end . A delusional , slobbering mess.
But this is a Shakespearian comedy not a tragedy .

That brings back an awful school trip memory of having to watch Alf Garnett leap about on stage with his minuscule nob out…
It’s now exactly how I’ll think of Dave, so cheers mate
