At its worse it’s a strategy to seed negativity and hatred of the manager amongst the fan base At its most weakest its idiots who think they can read body language and read the players minds and therefore know what that the players think We had it numerous times last season peddled by the tools on ...

Who cares what other fans think? They will only see that he has us as European contenders season on season who buys and manages players who are pursued by PL title contenders. All whilst on a shoe string.

They don't know.

I'm struggling to understand the thought process behind the Board deliberately sabotaging/withholding funds from the current manager, who has delivered Europe on 3 consecutive seasons and was on pace for a fourth.. to then give those funds to a new manager when we may not be in Europe. That's not a ...

I share this thought, but for Moyes.

Alright, I'll just accept you can't articulate what you actually want then. Our aspiration should be to have an elite training ground. We’ve been dining out on the self proclaimed academy of football motto for way too long. We never spend any real money on infrastructure. A proper scouting network, ...

Should go the distance in cup competitions and get to the business end more regularly. Regular top 6 contenders or in the vicinity of every season. Play entertaining football. We’re not in good company with our low block moyesball. That would be a good start. His questions were: What league positio...

Without trying to sound facetious, what are your answers to his questions?

You must be new here

Well, it's not JUST January, it's successive windows where we've missed out on players that the manager himself has spoken about publicly. It's a lose lose for Moyes though - bring in a player he's been "offered" who doesn't perform and he will get slaughtered for buying ineffective and ex...

All the big teams lost today, crazy.

They can give us Grealish and Nunes!

I wonder if his lack of discipline and recent displays of petulance will deter Pep from actually going for him. He won't get the same leeway at City that he does here. He's out of form though, that's for sure and is making mistakes. Unfortunate timing, but too early to say he isn't playing for the b...

Season is more than likely done now. If only Antonio could have hit the target in the first minutes of the game. Hope the young lad recovers well. Positives: We have ample time to prepare for next season. The European game next week likely dictates the funds that will be available in the summer whic...

Just as we said at the start that not taking our chances will bite us in the ass, it's the same for them.

Can't see us losing here.

Getting done at set pieces again. Worrying.

Crowd will turn soon.

I can't see us losing this. Needs to happen before 70 mins though.

Cracking free kick

We're a stepping stone for a player like him, hence the release clause.

Just need to ensure we reinvest wisely. I trust Moyes & TS to do so.

What a different proposition we would have been if we had managed to signed Barnes.

Barnes, Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta, Antonio

Can't think of many better forward lines than that.

If it had worked, none of us would remember it by the semi final!
