What he does in his free time is up to him is he was not a footballer no one would give a toss about ether of these two stories.

It would be news for any sportsman or celebrity or person in the public eye, who have to understand that their actions are under scrutiny, because many of them are idols and considered by parents to be role-models for young people. So I'm not sure what your point is.

A public figure and role model to young people dresses up as a suicide bomber and you think nobody gives a toss ? That just shows how out of touch you are. It's idiotic at best, personally I think the bloke is a complete twat for doing it.
 
David Moyes has been nominated for Manager of the month for December <laugh>

This on the back scraping past bottom half and relegation fodder teams and then losing two on the trot at home to Everton and Newcastle. Whereas top of the table Wenger doesn't even get a nomination.

This has got to be a ****ing sympathy vote, surely ?

I was very confused by that, how the **** did they work that 1 out, he started the month with 1 draw, and 2 back-back home losses! Yes, some form picked up after then and they got a good run of results during the festive period, but that still doesn't mean he deserves any nomination!

I think the FA or whoever runs this competition rewards the prize on a points based system.
I'm guessing they look at the position every team was on before their fixtures in that month, compare this to the position of the teams they played, and award/deduct points based on whether they won/over performed according to their league position. Therefore Manu would get more points for beating villa than Arsenal would for Newcastle due to the fact that Villa and Manu were closer in the league table, etc.
Course, I could be talking out my arse here, but it would kind of explain why Moyes has been nominated (i.e. Manure are total kack)

I reckon they just felt sorry for him.

...or it could be that they want to improve their record of awarding manager of the month to a manager shortly before he is fired?
 
Moyes has been shortlisted as MOTM for December.Has anyone actually bothered to look at his record for December ?Whilst everyone is taking the piss out of Man Utd losing their last 3 games don't forget they took place in January

Yes, they lost back to back home games against Everton and Newcastle and narrowly beat a some bottom half teams.
 
I've just looked at Stretford's results for December and for Moyes to be shortlisted for MOTM is frankly ludicrous

After drawing to spuds, and losing against Everton and Newcastle at home, they went on a 6 run winning streak. The problem is, they didn't beat one top side in that 6 game running streak and they lost back to back games at home. It was a good run but not anything amazing considering he is manager of Man U.

In my opinion, Martinez has more claim to be MOTM, only losing once in December, beating Manure at OT, drawing against (and out-playing in large chunks of the game) an in-form Arsenal and winning the rest of their fixtures.

Didn't their winning run includes games in Europe & the LC ?
