When moyes won the euro trophy with westham
It was great to see him celebrating it with his dad though
 
Moyes at West Ham reminds me of Bruce at City. Both the most successful recently at each club respectively but both dinosaurs in the game. The 2012-13 season when we went up via autos, we were the lowest-scoring team in the top 12. Bruce would put defenders in midfield if we were winning 1-0 and bring all the attackers on if we were losing.

Leicester signed Abdul Fatawu on loan from Sporting Lisbon last summer after he failed to impress in their C team after his FREE transfer from Ghanaian 2nd division side Steadfast FC.

The Ghanian club asked for no transfer fee as they didn’t want to stand in the way of his career in Europe but a 50% sell on clause in the first 3 years of his move to Sporting.

Leicester had a mandatory obligation to buy for £14m if they get promoted, which has now triggered netting the Ghanian minnows a whopping £7m. To offer some context, the highest fee ever received by Steadfast FC was for £25,000 previously.

We don't have a C team and Fatawu was a 1st team player. Didn't play many games but i remember him starting against Porto a d playing in the champions league.

We didn’t have attackers that was the point so he worked with that
It was brilliant planning by sir Steve
Fryat injured all season
McLean ****
Jay Simpson pretty ****
So he strengthened the defence
Faye, turned mcshane a laughing stock into a competent defender and Alex to fill gaps
Why we continue to **** on our most successful manager and one of our most successful season I’ll never know

The point was that despite him being our most successful manager, he was fairly one-dimensional, especially regarding tactics. The same can be said for Moyes. Moyes has won West Ham a European trophy and guided them to decent mid-table finishes but he’s a one-dimensional coach as well.
 
Bayern Munich have won a major trophy for the last twelve years. Not least the last eleven. Six times winners of the Champions League. Won their equivalent of the FA cup twenty times.
Harry Kane goal scoring records galore. What could go wrong? At last, a meaningful medal.
A headline I read summed it up "Harry Kane scores penalty but Bayern lose"

How, just how, does a player who scores 44 goals in season win nothing. Only more personal glory. And a hotel bill in the millions.

I have hated the man with a passion ever since he scored a hat trick against City. As such I find it f.....g hilarious.
 
Absolute ****

And before their playoff
id want him sacking right now if this was a city player

The spokesperson said Mr Duffy, of Norwich Common, Wymondham, was "charged with driving whilst unfit through drink, having provided an evidential breath sample of 102mcg".
