    Supposedly if when you were a kid you liked to arrange your toy cars in a row according to colour or whatever took your fancy then it's a strong sign you're on the spectrum somewhere and I reckon most blokes did that. Making sure your coaster and placemat are at right angles is probably the grown up version.

    I used to throw snails at passing cars to see if I could get them to stick.

    Nah. I think aiming for open windows was the problem.

    I might well think that you are an idiot, however I acknowledge your right to be critical.

    But WHY do you find the need to murder the English language at the same time?

    I'm not one to overemphasise such things under normal circumstances but in your case you are rather failing to make your point, whatever that is.
    In fact it's so badly written that you may be an expert, perhaps Mr Armstrong in disguise?

    You'd have to class that as a win if you got one through a window.

    Seriously Montys very emotional posts are a sign of our predicament - but we'll get through this as we always do - its not emotionally easy but as I posted " wait till Jan and see then as he's inherited an FA manufactured mess - KTF" maybe a bit of Blind Faith also needed :

    That's true, however if I wish to discover what he's on about, reading the post usually provides the answer.

    AND, we all of us have a right to criticise.

    On this occasion I was unable to understand much of the post and exercised my right to be critical.

    However if you have a solution, how do I find out what has been written without first reading the post, then I'm very willing to listen, read and learn.

    You got the gist of it, you acknowledge that in your post.

    You and your boring little friend are obsessed.

    Like your last line - but BSA go the best from players available to him getting them to perform to their maximum - that's inspirational to me.
    He never had top players at the club's he was at neither at a big successsful club.
    Moyes has been at perceived top clubs with limited success imo. I honestly don't think he can motivate the players as BSA did but will I be openly critical of him shouting for his head at games - No way
    Will I walk out half way in a match cos I can't hack - No way
    Will I express my concerns on a football forum - Yes

    That's the first and last time Sam Allardyce will be labelled an inspirational appointment. He was ok, he was solid. What we needed. Much like Moyes. Allardyce lost 4 or 5 on the bounce for us, didn't turn out too bad.

    Moyes overachieved on a shoestring budget at Everton. Moyes failed at United, much in the same way Fat Sam would have done. LVG couldn't even fix them. Moyes failed at Sociedad , no shame in failing abroad. The only thing Fat Sam has done abroad is eat pork pies on the beach with his pal Brucey.

    Your concerns are just premature bullshit whingeing. Moyes needs time, the fact that people are questioning him already is beyond a joke and an awful representation of a club that has a hard enough time with managers as it is.

    You express your concerns, by all means. I'll express my concern that you're a moaning, negative twat.

    I agree, Allardyce is an inspirational manager. He's very good at dealing with players and getting them wanting to graft for him.

    It does my head in a bit how anything negative on here gets jumped on, it's not like Moyes pops on here in the morning, sees a mean comment and cancels training to go home and sulk. We could be spewing nothing other than the vilest anti-Sunderland crap on here and it wouldn't make one iota of difference to the team or the stadium atmosphere.

    Fortunately it's not like that. There's a mix of positivity and negativity and both are perfectly fine.

    I'm all for negativity if it's warranted and will throw my hat in where I feel it's appropriate but people questioning him after three games and making out that Sam Allardyce was some sort of wonder appointment is hilariously stupid. Had the negativity been... We were **** against Everton... Fair enough. But to question the manager and make our he's ****e, when he has a better record than Sam is idiotic.

    Allardyce came in and underwhelmed to begin with, he got a decent window and the teams results were great. What's to say Moyes doesn't do better again? What's happening isn't indicative of what's to come at this stage. Negativity breeds negativity and it's a slippery slope.

    Lets be factual here. It took Sam a long long time to get the best out of his players, He also had months to prepare for his first window, he wasn't thrown in with a few weeks left and have to make signings before he'd fully assesed the squad unlike Moyes.

    Big Sam's 11 games taking him up to the end of the year.

    So walk me though Sams ability to motivate players here.


    Going to be long season if you're going to be crying about Moyes constantly. I'm already sick to death of you. Crying about nowt. Give the man the time Sam got.

    I don't agree that Moyes should be judged yet, he needs the time Allardyce had and more. However for me the reason that Allardyce took a while to get going was because of the state we were in when he took over, we were shocking under Advocaat, absolutely shocking. Remember how bad PVA was and how good he was by the end of the season?

    I believe that if we'd kept Sam and even without M'Vila we'd have started this season much better.
