That must have been an interesting conversation along the lines of "I can't play you and risk getting relegated so I'll play Adrian and we'll have a better chance of survival. In any case I'm Scottish and don't give a monkeys who plays for England"
Will we be singing ;quaver ;quaver
There’s only one doctor Moyes
I am every lunchtime folks for 5 minuets only

In stark contrast, under our previous manager, in the run up to games against the likes of Brighton, my main thought was “how many will we lose by”
The other thing was that against Chelsea I didn't really expect to concede in the last five minutes where as whenever we were in that position previously I was kind of just waiting for the comedy moment where we lost it.
As I have said earlier it's too early to believe we are a different side, but there is certainly enough evidence to hope.
i really want to feel is that we competed for the full 90 minutes and left the opposition feeling that they have been in a game and that they had to work for the points.
The actual result is less important than the achievement of the above.
However, having achieved the above for our last two outings, I am actually looking forward to this one as I really do feel that we could get something tangible out of it.
Arsenal’s defense looked terrible against Southampton at the weekend, given their forward play, it is hard to see us keeping a clean sheet on Wednesday but I think that we can certainly match them.
I am going for 2-2, an exciting game where we are under pressure but dangerous on the counter.
COYI we can do this ;scarvwal
Just my tuppence worth
;ok
I think his record at Everton is the most we (or any club not taken over by billionaires with a desperate need to spend their hard-earned) can realistically expect.
But he was in PL so even that doesn't really hold water, it's very odd you would think making a player fit is the first and probably easiest part of Mng...

Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Curbishley said: “Against Man City and Chelsea, they had a plan.
“David took my old fitness coach, Nick Davies, in there and I understand the fitness levels, the stats, were pretty poor.
“I know lots of managers talk about that when they go into a club and say let’s improve the fitness levels, but I think it was something West Ham needed to do. The proof is on the pitch.”
;cheers
I have also heard it mentioned that he and his team are working for pretty much expenses but on very good bonus incentives, if so all credit to them for backing up their belief in themselves. It did say however they have submitted hand written receipts for flying from Scotland to training in a lear jet each day and having lunch delivered by Harrods but fair play anyhow.
A signal of how much things have changed I realised I believe we can beat Arsenal on Tuesday and that thought wouldn't have been there a month ago, we may need them rest a few and we may need go for it ourselves but we can do it.
Assuming we come through the Christmas period in the same kind of form we've been showing recently, and are uppish in the table (compared to being in the bottom 3) I'd be happy for the board to try to tie him down.

;lol
I am not tucking into my humble pie just yet, but I did check on it over the weekend to make sure I recalled where I put it.
;porkpie
Is it just me, or does this kind of article seem entirely unnecessary? ;hmm Moyes was open to a lot of abuse following his last three jobs, and it feels like there's a slight mocking tone to it.
I may just be slightly sensitive towards the British media today given their 'headline' news about the new aircraft carrier.
;hmm
I haven't seen that. (Which, of course, doesn't mean it isn't right.)
All I saw was they were here for 6 months.
Whatever it is, I hope the outcome is a longer deal.
There shouldn't be too many problems, assuming we carry on our improvement, as the club will obviously want him and his team, and he is unlikely to be offered a more attractive PL club.
As for my prediction I think he will keep us up (just) with something between 38-40 points.
