Totally agree, Harvey was a brilliant No2 but not manager, ok, the players were leaving for Rangers but he couldn't handle Cottee.. Haf, in all the matches in the mid to late eighties and when Royle was manager the one thing we never did was except mediocrity, play for a draw or try to hang on to a 1 -0 lead..

When has Moyes done it before?. We are a mid table safety team with the odd excursion into the Europa league, losing the defining matches.. Yes we finished fourth, what? seven years ago? The reason for that was our performances before Xmas, We sold Tommy G and went backwards..We were the kings of the 1-0 win. It doesn't matter how much cash you have if your default tactic is defend. Our ambition as a club is to avoid relegation.. Don't want to hear how we needed him after Walter Smith, christ, coco the clown would have been an improvement.. But, ten years is long enough, especially as we can't even manage a Carling Cup final, never mind a win. Whats to happen when Heitinga doesn't return after the Euros or Chelsea bid 20m for Jelavic.

The overiding issue is it was the RS.. We NEVER beat them, we always roll over. It's been that way since 1892. Why are we suprised?. The last player who didn't read the script was AJ so we sold him.. We scored from a mistake then sat on it Howard was wasting time 10 mins before half time. Bringing Coleman on is not an indication the we're going to have a go. The whole ethos is different..In the league when they where three up they brought on two strikers, we'd take 'em off for a nice rest, pot of tea and a digestive..

Yeah, I know Haf.. Moyes does well with what he's given, or not, as the case maybe.. The issues you listed last summer are all still valid perhaps more so as the season progresses.. Personally, I do not trust Kenwright, as a person I find him creepy as a businessman I think he's a liar.. Of course he knows what the club is worth, he's onto the banks everyday. Johnson used the club to shore up Park Foods, I wonder what the current board use the club for??.. The £25m "other expenses" for example.. It's the lack of trust more than the lack of money which I find an issue..

Yep, beginning to think there are many who can't be satisfied.. We could win the league by 10 points but then we'd be reading posts like " if we hadn't drawn with Wigan we would have won by 11".. After all the problems of the 90's when we basically imploded, It's amazing we're still around and haven't done a Charlton or Soton or Leeds. Ok some will say those clubs aren't the same as us but to their fans they are.. We are in the best most competitive league on the planet, capable of beating anyone by spending what in modern game terms is pocket money.. I personally think we're doing bloody well, yes we capitulated in the derby, but, when don't we? christ, when we were "good" we used to loose to them FFS we've spent less than SEVEN MIllion, we're SEVENTH and in the FA SEMI.. nuff said..

Be interesting to see how he uses him when Gibson returns, hopefully he'll rest him so he recovers properly.. On selling him due to club debt, I think the club will cash in on Fellaini before selling Rodders.

Watching Sky News, Gary Birtles has said Moyes will be resting players as he did last Tuesday... Going to be a long night, me thinks..

Thats the shites' biggest home win against us since 1983/84 season.. Does this mean we're going to win the FA cup then conquer Europe???????.... Or do I need Severe medication?.

They where there for the taking, no confidence, can't score and hadn't won a league game since Jan.. Can't believe he left Peinaar on and two strikers replaced with one.. Fuck this shite, i've got work to do.

I thought Peinaar was brave returning. With the injuries Spurs have he probably would have got a few games there now. Why compare him with Drenthe?, they have two very different styles plus Drenthe isn't exactly screaming "I love it here offer me a contract please!".. Peanuts can hold the ball, offering it wide, maybe behind Jelavic with Drenthe and Donavon on either wing?

Have to agree, £18m+ over five years.. Sometimes I wish we were just as patient with negative players earning a quarter of that?

Yep to all of that. I would also like to add that I'm quite moist with anticipation

Norwich and Swansea are above us, thats got nothing to do with spending, more to do with attitude and tactics. The Club didn't bother showing interest in Demba Ba, that says a lot considering his wages wouldn't have been an issue.. We keep playing the likes of Saha who is useless, that sends a message to the other players "we don't have to perform to play" I would rather pay off his contract and get shut rather than buy another midfield squad player.

I suppose it's easier to lure youngsters. Jeffers was evolving well until he started believing his own press. Foreign players were always more attractive due to currency value and the ability to pay on the drip. Our rules stated teams must pay 50% of an English players value with the balance due in 12 months, thats changed now making English purchases more affordable.. Maybe the new rulings have a lot to do with it, we are all aware of the off loading Man City must do.. Sorry this getting off topic but, has there been rumours regarding the three foreigner ruling and the number of Eu players?

Well put Av, enough said.
