David Moyes - Taking a knife to a gunfight at West Ham, Part 2

[Shevin Keedy]

oh it's the Intertoto!

Haha ffs.

 

[davek]

West Ham's route to a European trophy: -

Viborg (Denmark) - they finished 3rd out of 12 teams in the Danish Superliga regular season and 4th in the Championship Play Offs - they played in the Danish first division in 2021

FCSB (Romania) formerly Steaua Bucuresti - they finished 3rd out of 16 teams in the Liga 1 regular season and 2nd in the Play offs

Silkeborg (Denmark) - they finished 7th out of 12 teams in the Danish Superliga regular season and 3rd in the Relegation Play Offs this season

Anderlecht (Belgium) - they finished 11th out of 18 teams in the Belgium Pro League

some big hitters there to just get past the group stages

knockouts they faced some even mightier opponents

Last 16 - AEK Larnaca (Cyprus) - some people call them the cypriot barcelona - they finished 2nd out of 14 teams in the Cypriot First Division regular season and 3rd in the Championship Play offs

Quarter Finals - Gent (Belgium) - some people call them the belgium real madrid - they finished 5th out of 18 teams in the Belgium Pro League

Semi Finals - AZ Alkmaar (Netherlands) - some people call them the Dutch Man City - they finished 4th out of 18 teams in the Eredivisie

Finals - Fiorentina (Italy) - they finished 8th out of 20 teams in Serie A

impressive stuff from the mighty irons

The Europa Conference League is not a proper trophy.

This page on the BBC says it all...

Anyone want to get vaulted from 10-15 years ago? I would think you’d all be tired of being wrong all the time. Maybe it was US who were the real bottlers the whole time? Congrats Moyes. What an absolute waste of time the last decade plus has been for Evertonians. We didn’t get relegated so something like this was guaranteed to twist the knife a little. Not like Lampard or FSW was gonna win anything.

So I assume this thread is full of people saying “well I was wrong again” right?

Poor old Moyesey's dad dancing at the end over that 'kin thing.

An utterly worthless piece of scrap metal.

A great moment of intensity... moving like Ginger Rodgers....

BTW, worst quality cup final of any description I can remember. Terrible use of the ball all night.

I honestly thought as that game was being played out that this Everton team could have beaten the pair of them.

I don’t get this weird posturing and talking down of the tournament considering last year’s inaugural winners were Roma, who played in last week’s Europa League final

West Ham beat the dregs of Europe to win that.

There's no credibility for it.

[anxiouswarrior]

Can you imagine Napoleon Bonaparte, waging battles all over Europe and then... finally, when all the blood is shed, and there's nothing left to conquer...someone gives him the Intertoto Cup?

Yeah well done Moyesy, stick it next to your charity shield and tell everyone you done the double.

 

[Rita_Poon]

And Alexander wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer, for after all, he had had his good times....
