Just seen the home farewell to Moyes - I wish him luck, as I wish the Toffees, who have conducted themselves in an exemplary manner - our six points being the only exception! Football needs more of this and I believe we now have it in spades!
I asked on another thread what had changed, as there certainly seems to have been a sea change part way through this season, where sportsmanship and understanding seem to be the currency.

I was sat there in my car doing something along the lines of
