Moyes-ometer

[Im_Spartacus]

Oops watch out guys, looks like the problem is solved:

cityscrub (Manchester United): After some careful thinking and research i think i might of came upon a solution to Moyes problem. I thought Koke played the left spot in a 4-3-3 but he can and is playing on the left of a midfield 4 like Iniesta on the wing for Spain of old. Why not offload Young and Valencia to buy Koke and play a 4-4-2 with Koke Carrick Fellaini Janujaz keeping Rooney and RVP happy up front? Then he can look at the central midfield spot and see who he likes the look of. Cesc,Gundogan,Torres,Herrera could fill the scholes role. And interestingly Hummels of Dortmund seems to have a buyout clause of 29m. He would be perfect replacement for Rio and foil for Vidic who is losing his legs.Hummels has pace and ball control galore and is world class at only 25 years of age.My 4-4-2 for 2015 DeGea,Evra,Hummels,Vidic,Rafael,Koke,Carrick,Herrera,Janujaz,Rooney,RVP

united-devils (Manchester United): really?

Silly cunt has obviously missed the fact that Vidic won't be there next season.

And if Hummels has only got a £29m clause, I'm sure Bayern or somebody would have activated it by now.

Doubt he would move to Bayern. Some bad blood between them apparently. Of course, Barca and Madrid would be on him like cockroaches.

As would PSG, Monaco and us.

Sorry Did not want to start another thread about 'them',so posted in here.

Surely there are to many R's in this headline ? (Above link)

Just got back from being dragged round Manchester on a shopping trip and it was fantastic.

The splattering of scum tourists wandering around buying their half and half scarfs, the spring-gone from their step, looking as though they were about to go to a funeral. Their eyes; soulless, their demeanour one of trepidation and anxiety.

It was wonderful! Its a wonderful life guys! I drank it in like the nectar of life!

Thank God. Agent Moyes has played it just right. Another lousy home defeat to a team hovering above the relegation zone might have seen him out on his ear at a key time in the season. Now he should stagger through til summer.

........where he can squander further millions on players of similar quality to Fellaini.

Perhaps not the right thread - but did not want to start another for the sake of it.

These comments by Poll will also not help Agent Moyse turn things around - they also confirm what everyone has known for years.

In a sense I am surprised but pleased that refs can now admit it. I wonder if a lot will be made of it and it could work against the scum - probably not....

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll admits to feeling "sense of relief" when Man United won

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll admits he used to feel "a sense of relief" when Man United played well in and won games he officiated.

Writing in his Daily Mail column, Poll said:

"I would concede there was a sense of relief when United played well and won, particularly at Old Trafford.

"I knew if they didn't win there was every chance of seeing and, more importantly, hearing Ferguson and reading his comments about me in the papers the next day.

"All referees knew that Fergie's standing in the game - and the fact that he was at the biggest club - meant that when he unleashed the hairdryer on a referee there were inevitable headlines."

Poll also suggested David Moyes has to accept he cannot enjoy anything like the same intimidating effect he believes Mr. Ferguson enjoyed for many years.

"I fear another defeat for Moyes," he said.

"[Moyes] must accept that he does not have the same intimidating presence as his predecessor had."

Something we all knew mate and the fact that Poll was intimidated by him only goes to prove that the ref's made sure they didn't have an off day. RasherChops garnered favour by controlling all and sundry throughout the system and you could see early on in his final season, with the decisions granted, that nobody else stood a chance, even if they were the better side.

We've also seen that this season hasn't brought the same tally of points and I put a lot of that down to the ref's being more open with their decisions. In the main, and from what I've seen, the Rags have got the decisions they've deserved and even in the face of constant berating from the players, they seem to be holding their own. I wonder what the card count is for them this season compared to last and is it any wonder that they haven't conceded a PL penalty in the last 2 seasons?

The question for me is, after these, Halsey's, and a few other statements, how many titles have they taken inspite of their play?

The bloke is just a shithouse. We all knew he helped Utd & it doesn't need Sherlock Holmes to figure out he's basically admitting to it.

Doesn't explain why he gave a penalty against Richard Dunne for handball (in the last minute) after the ball came at speed through a ruck of players & hit him before he had chance to even see it.

Utter cunt.

I blame the FA for not protecting their referees enough. Right now they constantly have to worried about media-campaigns against them and they know that if they make mistakes, they're not going to get the proper backing of the FA That's when this sort of stuff develops.

[bigblue]

ridiculous that things like this don't start an investigation or at least form a committee to hear testimony on the issue. One of the biggest (obviously not best) refs in the game admitting that he bent over for the scum. Makes gollum look like an even bigger hypocrite than before (if even possible).

but nothing will be done. the marketing machine must roll on...

The whole of world football is 'jobs for the boys' more corrupt than the fucking masons and more closed off!

How often is it that you see an ex-player/manager in the media saying anything bad about fellow players/managers? Rarely - and when they do there's a shit storm and the weakest tends to disappear from the media light.

Take talkshite as an example - its a sound-board for out of work managers to conduct their first interviews for jobs, Daulgish and Hoddle (Brazils campaign and absolute dismissal of any doubters of Daulgish was horrendous) - if thats how it is on a public front imagine the back rubbing that goes on behind closed doors - who's good mates with Riley or needs to get in favour with someone ...?)

It stinks to the core.

Imagine if an ex-food regulator had said that he was scared to recall beef products because his career would be sidelined by the beef lobby.
Or an ex-oil inspector said he failed to do a thorough job inspecting a pipeline because Shell would cut his salary and sue him for defamation if any faults were found.
Or an ex-prosecutor said they used to be scared to take certain politicians to court because the certain politicians would use the media to ruin their public image.

Wait... all these happen on a regular basis. So football having a corrupt underbelly seems to fit right in with the rest of society. It's a shame because football act as an outlet for so many from the realities of their life, you'd hope it could be a sanctuary from such scumbaggery.

Yup society is full of shite and politics, all ran by the masons with their left tit hanging out, but football eats the masons for tea and gnaws on the bones.

There's no such thing as paranoia, its all true!
