Slow start

[ToffeeBlueNose]

pre season is about fitness, we all know Moyes is big on his fitness and he is old school in training. I just wonder whether he over does it on them, modern day footballers keep pretty fit even on jollybobs don't they so drilling them into the ground for a month before the season starts may be making them 'tired'.

Not even sure i buy into this but it's a theory.

I reckon Moist feeds them nothing but porridge until January.

Come to think of it, when we first signed Billy I saw him at Sopporro's in town and i'm sure he was snorting a line of Quaker Oats in the bogs...

Id rather we stayed in europe this pre season , not sure what impact it would have , if any .

Early pre season could see games against lower league english sides , or even away at SPL sides , we have one against Rangers , if they are still there when we arrive .

Given the last pre season game is normally a home tie a week before the season gets underway , maybe the few weeks before that could see us line up some decent opposition from the Bundesliga or Eredivisie , a 3 or 4 game tour their against decent opposition could be useful in preparing for a new season .

Moyes quoted in the paper today as saying he's considering taking the squad to Magaluf for a "really good night out" the week before the start of the season. Not sure if he's joking or not.

he was refering to the fact that neville and cahill took out jelavic before he started banging the goals in, it was tongue in cheek.

As yourself, what other side has had such talent and lost it ( whatever be the reasons ) and gone to be consistently successful?

Arsenal.
