I agree, there I've said it.

I'm sure Fergie will have a quiet word with him.


Re. Spurs' goal yesterday...had the referee given the penalty and sent Cech off, rather than playing advantage that led to the goal, it may have been a different outcome.



Don't understand why he couldn't have sent Cech off anyway. It was a sending off defence. Refs can go back and book players for foul play (it happened yesterday) after letting advantage go so why not here? Just because Spurs scored does not make it less of an offence.


Ashley Young's diving was pathetic and I'm glad to see Fergie has at least commented on it. He doesn't like it.

He could only send him off for violent conduct (it wasn't) or denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity (they scored so that is cancelled out too).

Was waiting for that! Thats why we had to put a few more past them to avoid the endless 'what ifs', and 'buts. .'

Read 'em and weep Harry. . . .er on second thoughts maybe just weep !

I agree Jah, and a lot of the credit should go to their chairman Dave Whelan...many others would've lost their nerve in January.

If 'arry does get the England job, Martinez along with Brendan Rogers should be a candidate for Spurs manager, but if I was a Spurs fan I would want Moyes. I think after 10 years he will leave Everton this summer. Without investment I don't think he can take Everton any further...he cut a very deflated figure after the semi-final.

Good point Tanday but if ever anyone has earned the right to try its Moyes. Its been a rollercoaster ride with 'Arry but without a smidgen of tactical nous applied when desperately needed hes been found out when it matters most. My beloved chickens have well and truly choked. Its the hope what gets you. ;-)

That's the thing with 'arry. He's obviously great with the players, but has he really got it tactically? After a recent loss, he said something along the lines of "people say we play well like that, but for me, it doesn't work so well".


So why did he play like that, because other people suggested it?!?

Great sides, these days, are able to stifle the opposition as well as producing fluid attacking football.


The problem with Moyes is that he hasn't got hardly any strikers. His latest forward acquisition from Rangers looks like a decent player though.


I think Moyes got the FA cup semi-final tactically right since Liverpool's srike force couldn't really score in a Wayne Rooney brothel. However, the mistakes by Everton gave the Livepool strkers the confidence to score goals that won the game.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
