No need for the sarcasim, ask any Evertonian who watches the game and they'll tell you the same thing he's lazy, uninterested and is a shadow of his former self. Maybe it's Moyes constant stance of one man upfront but there's a reason he hasn't scored a goal this season. I wasn't debating the winning the league thing mate (it wasn't me making that point!), we have any striker in the world upfront and we'd never be winning the league, so your point does stand and I agree.

I didn't take it as a dig to Moyes, I was just trying to make the point I don't think Saddened was comparing the careers of Moyes and Mancini as it seems to have been taken. He is a good manager but far too rigid and negative unfortunately.

Again, I agree.

I think you took the first part of my post the wrong way. There was no sarcasm at all.

Losing their treble-winning, all conquering, superstar manager probably does warrant being in a 'terrible' way!

If Rangers got any more dour, they'd rival a reading of the Da Vinci Code by Alan Bennett in the entertainment stakes.

To be fair, I could have, but I have a vested interest.

How did United go? Commentators said Rooney scored a late penalty.

United did what United do when sides put 10 men behind the ball. Not a lot, and grind it out.

I would have given it a miss, knowing that was going to happen, but the demi-wench is a Rangers fan, so I HAD to watch it. I say had to watch it, I had the laptop playing Football Manager while she watched it.

And through all that, she's now gone and fallen asleep. So I have endure that, and I get nothing from it. Dating a girl who likes football is rubbish!
