Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Chris O'Connor]

Moyes deserves the plaudits he's getting from the media, he hasn't the best owners to deal with and they still play their home games at an oval athletics stadium. He's made them both organised and hard to beat, really transformed them infact. With West Ham he's finally found his second Everton.

Since leaving us he's been battered and bruised which really started when he didn't get the huge cash injections for transfers that his successors at United did. Since when he's mostly had to be content with pretty shitty jobs at relative no hopers. Obviously I don't wish them higher in the table than us but it's all credit to him that they are.

Should have been punted after the Chelsea Final in 2009. Overstayed his welcome and fecked off to Manure, resulting in us (Bluebill) appointing clownshoes as manager.
Never won a trophy.

He's never managed a side who stood a chance of winning the league for any real length of time, but far more who stood an excellent chance of losing most games with him or without him.

How many teams win a trophy every year? Let's take this year, City could do the quadruple but will almost certainly win two or three trophies. That is one trophy (possibly) for another of the 19 other prem clubs.

The no trophy stuff is a joke. if you had been managing Chelsea, City, Liverpool, United or Arsenal for the last ten years it might have some validity, for most it has none at all.

Maybe it's an Italian thing but these Inter guys absolutely hang their teammates out to dry with the body language after a mistake. It feels like that would be bad for chemistry but it isn't hurting them.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Joakim Maehle, who I'm certain people have said we should sign in the various transfer threads to be our new RB, is absolutely excellent.

West ham are a much better team than us.

I basically agree with 99% of what you posted, but using your timeframe of last ten years it's worth remembering that Swansea, Birmingham City, Wigan have all won cups. Leicester, of course have won a title in that time too.

Just for perspective, like.

Everton 0-3 Wigan

Three goals inside four minutes in the first half put Wigan into their first FA Cup semi-final at the expense of Everton.

Agreed and of course Birmingham and Wigan were relegated the same season and Swansea were soon relegated after their league cup win too.

The true once in a lifetime fairytale was Leicester unbelievable and incredible. Almost showed you how outstanding by how they collapsed the season after when Ranieri was sacked to save them from going down.

Think about it, losing to Wigan was an awful result but it still doesn't change the sense of my assertion that big rich clubs with huge squads win almost all the trophies.

Of course the cup can be a lottery, luck of the draw, just win one-offs it's not a league etc. So the best sides don't always win cups and Wigan beat City the favourites. Wigan then celebrated by confirming their relegation to the championship a few games after the final.

I was thinking about the mentality of those clubs that have consistently challenged for trophies over the past few years. That Chelsea team today looked like a team on an upward trajectory, they look like title challengers for me next season.

Wham, Leicester, Man u all winning

We lose

Not a great set of results for us

But we move

 

[jonnyboy316]

I have said it before West Ham are much better than us. They can actually progress the ball up the field without constantly giving the ball away. I still would not want Moyes back but he deserves credit.

Leeds looking ragged here

We will never agree on Moyes.

Early Moyes ?

Yes we will agree.

Late absolutely minted Moyes who treated us like utter mugs..

Nah.
