hmmm Barkley off???

fuck off ref

wasn't even a challenge,Coleman just didn't resist the barge and he lost balance

disgraceful decision

Anyone pm with with a small river....

Not quite but loadsa contacts!

At who's level? Barkleys? Mate is a Leeds fan - said he could not understand Moyes letting him go out on loan - absolute waste of time... he was on a totally different level to the players, he seen things and made balls they just couldn't read. Same at sheff wed... lad was just too advanced. He had to play well within himself.

I think Barkley will have a major motivation with this regard... he may come out with Pro Moyes soundbites but the lad must surely feel like his past 2 years under Dave should have resulted in more football. I think he will be majorly fired up.

The problem is Chelsea can afford not to sell him... give him a bit of punishment in the reserves etc and Mourinho's ego would do that.

His best signings were well researched or loan to buy (pienaar, Arteta, cahill).... his worst ones were reputation/foreign panic buys. Overall he signed very well, but I think it is fair to say he needs an age to pick his man, he demonstrated this in the summer with United, many of us said dithering Dave would do what he did. To be fair to RM, he came in and seen what was wrong with the dynamic, realised that Fellaini was the saleable asset and moved swiftly and decisively in esuring his departure was covered. Moyes knew way before he went to united what he needed to do - we even allowed him to start early - that still didn't ensure he strengthened where he needed to in replacing scholes and getting a dynamic midfield general. He wasted energy pursuing players he couldn't get and wasted time missing out on the ones he could have had - along with his Rooney battle it was a poorly spent window...

What he went about doing Matt was to more or less state that Everton have done well because he was the manager who gave them the platform and the players to do so - he couldn't avoid the fact that Martinez has significantly improved our style with additions like McCarthy, Barry, Lukaku, Deulofeu - so he gave a little "Roberto has done a really good job of keeping it going" "Roberto has done a really good job of keeping it going"..... hmmm lets see Dave "keep it going", you mean he didn't whine like a little brat when someone was trying to sign your key players - and when he did sell he went and bought in better replacements rather than throw money at Bilyaletdinov.... Keeping it going would mean "the juggernaut is in full flow - don't touch the brakes" - quite the opposite to what he has done at United.... Got rid of a title winning backroom staff and replaced them with teachers pet Neville, Lumsden, Round and Woods??? The man can't see what an arse he has made of himself.

My guess is that Barkley will be instructed to take on Fellaini as often as possible when moving at pace, Fellaini is garbage at defending one on one (Norwich game early this season) - I think we could get a fair few free kicks from the afro tonight.

Interpretation of how things are said is what enables people to try and make veiled digs, for me the transcript says what he said. They know that the people will take the quotes verbatim and reporoduce them in the papers, hence getting the digs in ever so nicely. Must admit I think RM mentioning 11 years with no away wins is a cracker... more or less calling moyes negative...

After another 7 or 8 come out it will subside. Unfortunately it is big news at the moment, that's why he's brave. It will be easier if a few others are as brave.

EXACTLY... lay the foundations??? SAF built him a castle and he has gone about watching it fall apart. A good reason I have disliked this sandbagger for so long.

Doh Was meant to say that (4/11) - happy to be corrected as it supports the argument further! Really can't stand that man. We are unrecognisable from his style of football - to say our team could play without a manager makes me question as to how a league winning team can look worse under a new manager....

I pretty much expected him to do that (as per david moyes thread) - my only surprise is that he didn't try and take credit for Barkleys perfromances and remind everyone how in utter awe he was of Man United when he managed us.

"It could be mixed," he said, when asked about the reception he will receive. "They know their football and understand exactly where their club has gone. "More importantly, they understand the players who are in their team. I brought the majority in and they will understand there are a lot of good players. But it is football and you never know." Moyes defended his conduct in May, when it was confirmed he was leaving Goodison Park to replace the retiring Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. He said: "My contract was running out and I only found out about the Manchester United job four weeks before the end of the season "If you said how you would leave a club, I don't know if I could have done it any better. I don't know if anybody could. At the first right opportunity I tried to speak to [chairman] Bill Kenwright and that is how we handled it." Moyes also tipped his cap to his successor Roberto Martinez, who has taken Everton to fifth place, three spots above United in the table, but hinted that his task was easier because he had laid the groundwork. He added: "He has very good players there. I always told them they could play without a manager because they are very well organised. But Roberto is doing a really good job keeping it going."

I don't think we need him really
