At the moment do Man U even have much of a day in this. This is their level right now.
If they have to play Evans and Casemiro as a pair of CB we should tear them apart.

I don’t usually care what other clubs do, but I have to say that Westham is a club who I just can’t understand. The push to get rid of Moyes is strange. This is a bloke who has got them into Europe, they weren’t in the relegation zone and he actually won them a trophy. Let’s see where they are this time next year. I just hope they send him off with a really big performance.

I think it’s starting position Rich. Teams who are proven title challengers get criticised for a 1% drop, teams who do well from a much lower starting position are praised for a while until their perceived level is raised, and they start getting judged by that metric.

See Leicester 4ish season ago under Brendon. Praised for being in the top 4/5 then criticised as bottlers when they eventually dropped out of the top 4 late on in the season 2 years in a row.

I can hardly think Spurs think they get favourable media coverage when the phrase, “Lads, it’s Tottenham.” and the word “Spursy” are fully embedded part of English football’s lexicon.

Spurs for sure get their fair share of jokes at their expense it’s more the over the top positivity when they do anything good. There were headlines asking ‘were spurs the real winners?’ When they lost 4-1 to Chelsea, down to 9 men and played the entire tee am on the half way line. The praise is miles beyond any other non trophy winning team gets

They're a weird bunch. Generally shite but occasionally raise it against the good teams.

Could all backfire for sure.

I think there are quite a few spurs fans in journalistic places. The Chelsea thing was ridiculous but it possibly was the novelty of it all. It took a few weeks to answer that b%&s%^ question.

Only hope I have is they won’t want City to win it but that’s probably more a fan perspective.

I just hope they send him off with a really big performance. For all his positives I think Moyes has a habit of badly misreading games and tactics sometimes. One minute they’ll be performing really well and next they’re getting ripped apart. Obviously limited by their personnel and think he has done well overall to get them where they are but just not enough to take them any further. We also nicked their World Class midfielder which didn’t help them this year.
