That being then, this being now and We being Le Ev. You still have that feeling of existential dread nagging at the back of your mind - how will we manage to snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory yet again.
It's come to a pretty pass when a chap can't even 100% depend on Moyes to bottle...
I remember more than a couple of Moyes seasons when we had 3pts or some such in October.
Then He/We would put in a midseason burst, start believing his own publicity, get knocked out of one or both cups early, then another mini burst...Europe within our grasp - then fade away
Rinse and repeat.
The last minute sub for the Penno, was a Hero or Zero move.
But this goes back years, Moyes is a walking example of Napoleons requirements for a General.
"Ability is of little value without opportunity, I had rather my generals be lucky than able." - (attributed to Napoleon)
Moyes isn't -...
There's no point in any other type...anybody can go away, have a think and come back with a..."and here's what I should've said" comeback.

While he was with us I was never his biggest fan, his attitude after his departure left a bit to be desired too.
He was on a hiding to nothing and I called it for what it was eg. Busby / McGuiness Mk II.
He sunk further, hit bottom, but now has his mojo back at West Ham, he suits them like...
He's got his mojo back and is doing at West Ham what he did for us...including not being able to kick on to catch up the big boys.
If the dildo bros have any sense they'll stick with him...but, in the end, they won't.
They'll forget that they're a long way behind in 4th place to the big 2 and...
This.
He's ok at West Ham until the dildo bros get ideas above their station.
He could always spot a player and organize things.
Made a complete tit of himself at Untd and was always on a hiding to nothing...as they all are since him.
Did the crime and done the time.
He seems to have learned...
