Thats pretty much it. I guess in theory he didnt win enough European Cups but its been a more difficlt format thatn in the Paisley years, so I give the nod to Sir Alex.

"You mean that when those in the European cup were actual champions rather today's format for the "champions" league. Yes, much harder to win these days. :-/"


much harder to win these days


you still have all the champions in the competition you know- just there's many more games, and groups to get out of (and a liverpool fan should know that league format is tougher than cup format- you have to be consistently good to win it now)

not saying he isnt a great manager or slagging the job he did, but the timing and appintment was almost perfectly positioned- either luck or planning, I dunno.

"Former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce, on reports that Everton manager David Moyes could be named the next manager of Manchester United, tells Sky Sports: "It would not surprise me. He's a very talented manager who has been at Everton for more than 10 years.


"He's not had huge finances but he has still managed to put an Everton team together that will comfortably finish in the top 10. He has been in the job a long time and he has all the credentials to be a top manager for Manchester United.""


he should be a manager, what with his understanding of the game. Moyes at Everton for 10 years, with no money - I never knew that.

All the rumours are Moyes but I think he'd struggle. Maybe that's the idea so whoever takes over when Moyes is sacked after one season doesn't have SAF to live up to. Klopp anyone?


Personally I'd like to see an OB like Sparky do it - love to see how he'd manage to get them into the bottom three and up for relegation despite their riches etc.

"not saying he isnt a great manager or slagging the job he did, but the timing and appintment was almost perfectly positioned- either luck or planning, I dunno."


crikey woody, that's a bit harsh on the guy. He has wound me up many times over the years but you could take the exact same circumstances and put ANYONE else in at that exact same time and there isn't a hope in hell they would have achieved what SAF has.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
