Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Winning football is good football. The teamwork and defensive acumen in the Arsenal game was a joy to behold. Fact is, it is the base of the good performances of the past few seasons that have allowed us to attract the likes of Paqueta and Kudus in the first place. Good players are winners and want...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

It's about winning for the invested spectators too. That's as true if you're watching Jarrod Bowen or Daley Thompson. Otherwise you may as well be watching Michael MacIntyre and that's not sport. Its about the chance of winning and the ride that offers otherwise no one else bothers to turn up. Equa...

Sport is about winning. Ask any professional sportsperson who has ever lived.

Cinema is entertainment.

That's my take on it.
Sport is about winning for the people who participate. Its entertainment for the people who go to watch

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Great posts WIlko and kind of how I feel. I wouldn't want to go to watch Star Wars every week, to see Luke spend an hour talking about his feelings with Leia, then ten minutes before the end jump in an X-wing and blow up the death star. Yes I would be happy the death star is gone and the dark side i...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Once again, please debate the subject matter and stop having sly digs at posters to score points. This is the problem with this thread and comments perceived as 'told you so'. The moment the result swings, then other posters feel empowered to dig back. So, by all means make the various points, but t...

The base forecast has been prepared assuming the club remains in the Premier League for the 2024-25 season. This forecast assumes no further player trading, reasonable progression in Europe, revenues received in line with current commercial agreements and other revenues in line with historical achie...

Re: The Financials are in.....

Following a significant and record-breaking investment of £183.9m in the men’s playing squad in the summer of 2022, which ultimately led to a hugely successful and memorable 2022/23 campaign, the Club reports a net loss before tax of £18.3m. A successful year on and off the pitch meant turnover was ...

He is a gift. Its brilliant, but he has no clue. I would be fuming if I supported Arsenal (and also an idiot).

Apart from the tackle on Coufal which deserved a yellow, he has given us everything

Long may it continue

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

It was an abysmal performance and a bad result. But I think the manager, owners and players were relatively satisfied to avoid a major fixture headache. Not saying they threw the game, but they didn’t exactly treat it as a priority occasion. I imagine the plan was, keep it tight, try and draw and t...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Would be pathetic, if yesterday would be a deciding factor. Some of the reactions after Fulham and yesterday are so f**** spursy. As were some of the 'told you so' reactions after the Spurs and Wolves results. We lost a match which gave us our best opportunity of domestic silverware for years. Peop...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

The next month will be interesting. Moyes is a successful manager with a trophy win. He is in the last six months of a contract and has shown he can survive relegation. There are a number of nervous owners and a few that may see enforced vacancies. Forest, Palace, Burnley, will likely throw the dice...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I would like to see a change in manager at the end of the season. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy the win over Spurs though. I always want us to win, that doesn't mean I can't see that we have been playing in a way that was pretty boring and negative. It wasn't just one match. This thread has become less...

They will tire and we can exploit that. Last ten minutes and their passing is less incisive.

I still think we can turn this around

Aguerd should have won the ball for the goal

Everything coming down the wings.
