New owner wanting to engage with the fans, thinks Moyes is a "fans favourite" and what better way leave Goodison yadda yadda yadda Tell them to do one, Moyes chose to leave. End of.

Sev Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 15 hours ago, Romey 1878 said: They've (West Ham) conceded 70 goals this season and have only picked up 4 more points than us despite having a much better squad. He (Moyes) can fuck right off and so can anyone suggesting him to come back. Three things, Romey. This is the real world, not some manager game where one controls everything on and off the pitch. A much better squad? Not really, but a squad with more depth. And please don't tell everyone here to fuck off if they should suggest for Moyes return. I think all here are cabable to have their own opinion. Go play your footie manager game instead. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It undoubtedly would be. Their fans want rid of him despite winning them a trophy because of the football he has them playing - it's boring. He's got some quality attacking players there so there really isn't an excuse and I can understand them wanting him out. If Dyche is lucky enough to be here when we can be doing the same and bringing in quality players and he still had us playing the football we are now then I'd want him gone too. Moyes will always be Moyes, he's not going to change now. Palfy and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 The sky 6 media crying outrage that West Ham are letting Moyes go. He won a pub team European trophy and with the players he's got they should be pushing top 4.... I totally get why they are changing him. Good luck to them. he will get the gig at whichever club bins their manager next season for a poor run of games - probably us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted Wednesday at 17:14 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 17:14 I like instant replay review in general, but the PL has completely fucked it. I think this is the right move, although I still won't be trusting refs to make decisions that don't benefit them or their benefactors in some way.

Palfy Posted Wednesday at 18:58 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:58 I hope they do, I was brought up with Ref’s making mistakes and although shit when it went against you it was easier to accept. Now we have a video ref who can stop the game to tell the ref he had missed something or a goal he gave should be struck off or vice versa, and then it’s proven the original decision was right and the video ref got it wrong, now that completely whines me up and can ruin my weekend dunlopp9987 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Brighton/Chelsea now. Ref gives a pen, called to look at the monitor and it clearly wasn't a pen, ref rescinds it. THAT'S how it should work. Unfortunately there's too many twats out there who can't properly manage the system, plus there's still so much gray area when it comes to what's a pen, what's a handball, etc. The only thing I'd keep is the offside technology.

But that’s the problem what we thought hasn’t always panned out the way we were told it would happen. I think I’d prefer to believe that refs and line’s persons will make genuine mistakes with decisions rather than deliberately make a bad call for any other reason. But the video ref should have no reason to get things wrong he has all the tools in front of him to make the right decision yet somehow they manage to mess up.

Sev Posted Thursday at 07:04 Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:04 Don't know if any of you watch German Bundesliga games, but it seems to me it runs much smoother there with their VAR system. Agree with Mike that there possibly won't be enough to vote against VAR and that a time limit would be a most welcome feature.
