    i wonder if Moyes would have been so frank before the season ticket sales window had opened, I guess not, his interview was very poor. As we are all hoping for some team strengthening, the local news announced that De Yedlin was close to signing, get in I thought, only to learn it was them up the road who are closing in, the way things are going it would not surprise me if we have another Shay Given scenario on our hands. While I didnt think he was one of our priorities a week or two back, he is certainly better than what we have at present. What has happened to the TV money? surely we now must make some effort to close a few deals and give ourselves a chance. The stakes are high, but to me it looks as if we are not even bothered, its a big worry this inaction and it will surely spread to the few senior players that we have left.

    Yes, the topic is football but I have applied critical thinking and used my experience in other aspects of life to form my opinion. Or can I only have an opinion if I've played professional football at the top level? In which case we all may as well not bother

    That cannot be right because Babb, Collymore and other football experts know better.

    I suppose, like Bri suggested, its down to personalities and perceptions. If I was a player under Moyes, I'd find his comments disheartening- "what's the point if our manager doesn't believe in us". Whereas if someone like di Canio said "if they do as I say I can improve these players and get better performances from" I'd think "I'll do as as he says and get better". That kind of confidence is infectious. Obviously you don't think like that which is fair enough. Like you and Tel, and Bri have said, Moyes was only stating facts but to me, I know those facts, and it doesn't help to have them reiterated. I want to hear how people think the problems can be overcome.

    That's always how i've read/interpreted what he said. But why be sensible, when you can act like you're full of estrogen and about to embark on the mother of all periods.

    Agree there. It wouldn't get through to Short if it was tattooed back to front on his forehead. As I said earlier our previous 4 managers all said the same and didn't get through to him either. Ellis short is doing his own thing.

    Ellis Short is asset stripping to sell..

    He should be no where near a Premier League club..

    He will probably spend his usual over the next week but that man should never have been sold our area, passion or loyalty by a man that was idolised, looking to save his own skin..

    I will avoid these conversations now but we both know where we come from, we discussed this in the Victory 2 or 3 years ago..<ok>

    Take care bud..

    very true pal.

    But when the mic is shoved in your face and you have had to deal with a clusterfuck of injuries/ match prep and **** knowswhatelse from above you revert to type...it was still the wrong thing to say at the wrong time tho.

    I'm sure Moyes feels far less in control than he did 3 weeks ago. i know I would.

    Where did I say that? Back your **** up if your going spout your mouth off. I said if you don't like me feel free to ignore me. Not the other way round. I don't ignore ****ers like you. I'd miss opportunities to take the piss out you. New day and you're starting. Is it any wonder there's barely a ****ing soul on here who likes you. Take the ****ing hint.

    Boy is an insult to a man, Pancake boy is an insult. You dish it out but can't take it man child. I don't care though, check the avatar. You whine and cry insult like the little bitch you are. That will win folk round. <doh>

    So where's this quote of me pledging to put you on ignore? You're not going to show it because it doesn't exist you lying little ****. Lying little **** with no allies on the board.

    One or two people don't like you, that's their problem, when everyone doesn't like you, that's your problem.

    Now suck a virtual fart out of my arsehole you saggy little internet weasel <laugh><party>
