Moyes Though ?

[The Equaliser]

100% this. Irvine was the main man for me to be honest. He showed Moyes a lot, and Moyes adapted it into his own way. I know it's probably a coincidence, but when Round joined, we all of a sudden became crocked with serious injuries. I know you can't help bad tackles but look at the horrendous injuries we got in the first year with Round, Yakubu, Arteta and Jags got cruciates for a start.

Yep. Round should have had a word with the groundsman in Geordieland so that the pitch was softer when Arteta landed on the pitch after he jumped for that header and his knee buckled under him.

The Yak's was a ruptured achilles tendon, not a cruciate. But Round should really have had a word with the Spurs players before the game about not tackling him.

Jags did his cruciate during one of his own tackles iirc, but it must have been Round's poor coaching otherwise he would have tackled at a different angle.

It must be your round.

Thought the Yak was at Fulham ...seem to remember the commentator saying how wrong it was he had to walk all the way round the pitch.

He ruptured his achilles tendon in the 1–0 away win at Tottenham Hotspur on 30 November, ruling him out for the rest of the season

Ok...must have been another injury ....if me memory serves me right.

Then again me memory's like a bag of spuds these days.

My deepest sympathies to his family.

Is he on the box today too? He'll be walking round town with a sandwich board on soon.

I believe his collection of cardigans are on sale on EBAY

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Who?

 

[Macd hibs]

Pellegrini anyone?

Some were rightly not played imo, the ones like Baxter, Clarke and Duffy were not good enough imo. But the ones like Mustafi, Vaughan (i know he was made of biscuits, but still), Gosling (Again, I know he was greedy, but his sheer audacity, to make him carry on playing against Wolves, when he was blatently injured) and Barkley was unforgivable.

Don't get me wrong, for the bad stuff with the players, he did get some gems, Cahill, Mirallas, Martyn, Arteta, Jagielka (What I believe to be the best bit of business by everton since the turn of the prem), Lescott and Howard. If i'm not mistaken, none of them cost more than £5m did they? There's probably a load i've missed. But you are 100% right Dan, Moyes was safety first on all fronts.

I disagree with you about Duffy.

He had a run of about half a dozen or so games when Disdin was out injured and he was very good.

He was dropped the moment Disdin was fit again and that was the end of him.

But he certainly looked good enough when he was on the pitch.

Pellegrini anyone?

Nah

Scout twisted his arm when the lad seemed to be off to Roberto's Wigan. He caved in and essentially told us to get him.

who is the scout? Think we owe him a pint or 2
