[Football] Man City v West Ham

[Thompson720]

Was hoping for a couple more for City. Shame it never happened.

Last thing we need is a reaction from an absolute drubbing I think!

Bowen's on for Snodgrass.

It's incredible reassuring that one of relegation rivals has such an insipid, uninspiring manager

 

[Simster]

As amusing as this is, we nearly lost to that shower of shite and they even put 3 past us.

Still, today is all about laughing at Championship bound West Ham and their 23,000 crowds for Wigan and Reading in that newly expanded 67,000 seating soulless bowl.

Shocking non game , City did the minimum and West Ham were shocking. I wonder if they will set up the same way at Liverpool

What a complete waste of time that game was.

Moyes will actually be happy with a 0-2.

As poor as they’ve looked recently I do worry that they’ve got some good attacking players who could win a few unexpected points for them.

Liverpool next

Yep a nice comfortable, dare I say, even planned 0-2 defeat is pretty much perfect for the Albion.

Moyes is getting shit on Twatter.

Looking at the list of current premier league managers:

Eddie Howe
Sean Dyche
Jürgen Klopp
Chris Wilder
Pep Guardiola
Daniel Farke
Nuno Espírito Santo
Roy Hodgson
Dean Smith
Ralph Hasenhüttl
Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Brendan Rodgers
Graham Potter
Frank Lampard
Steve Bruce
José Mourinho
Nigel Pearson
Mikel Arteta
Carlo Ancelotti
David Moyes

There seems to be a good mix of new faces in there, both younger recently retired players getting a big chance early in the career, plus some foreign managers that your average fan weren't aware existed. There's still a couple of older managers who always seem to get a job however poorly their last (few) jobs have turned out (Bruce, Pearson, current day Moyes). It feels like in the past there's be the big dogs (Arsene, Sir Alex, even Moyes at the Time) then the rest of the jobs were taken up by 'the usual suspects' (Pulis, Big Sam, Pearson, Bruce, Hughes, Pardew, Warnock, O'Neill, Redknapp, McLaren etc).

It feels like we're getting away from that old managerial merry-go-round, so it's harder to just walk back into a premier league job than it used to be as clubs look for that next big young manager out there.

As such, it seems like a very risky job for Moyes to have taken - this could be his last chance to be a premier league manager if he doesn't keep them up and go on to turn them into a decent side next season, which, given what he's working with and the position they are in seems to be a very difficult ask.

GET IN MAN CITY.

And good old David Moyes. Him being at West Ham is a terrific boost to our survival hopes.

Up the ‘appy ‘Ammers!

10 British ones too. When was the last time the PL had that many I wonder?

Steve Bruce is a decent manager, I’d not be so harsh. He’s done well at many clubs, pretty successful and given the toxic Toon, he’s done a really good job there so far I’d say.

I wouldn't have done it if I was him but maybe he can turn it around in the Championship with a good run up and putting his own stamp on the team. *chortle*

Moyes is a proven winner, he's said it himself, winning is what he does.

 

[Invicta]

Dull game, no wonder City fans given up on the season already. So boring watching them pass around at the back and West Ham just watching.

 

[rogersix]

Just our luck if they get something tonight

cheer up you dreery poppet

 

[rogersix]

I do hope they aren't the sort of West Ham fans who:-

- Completely own the "Academy of Football" motif.
- Tearfully felt Upton Park was holding the club back.
- Thought they were too good for the likes of Moyes.
- Were expecting European football.
- Realised too late Moyes was too good for them.
- Believe the club doesn't spend enough in the transfer market.
- Welcomed Moyes back with open arms, saying he should never have been sacked.
- Blame the new stadium only when they lose.
- Think they are too good for the likes of Moyes.
- Wish they'd never left Upton Park.

well, that narrows it down a bit

Does it?

Rodri broke the Premier League record for completed passes last night.

He amassed 178 completed of 188 attempted passes.
In perfect symmetry on the night West Ham also completed 178 - In total.

Let’s hope City aren’t lacking ambition with their impending suspension.

WHU are right up there as having one of the most entitled fans bases in the PL imo.

COME ON City

Friendly reminder that about 99% of the people who become professional athletes are absolutely obsessed with winning and/or not losing.

"Lack of motivation" is a common fan myth but very rare in reality.
