    Changing the subject. I just heard about the MLS playoff format. What a joke! No wonder MLS is not taken seriously anywhere else 🙄😯😵‍💫

    That atmosphere at the end reminded me of the Fergie era. Brilliant!

    8 managers in 9 years! The very definition of how not to run a club.

    I'm saying they are a better landing spot for a manager to grow with a club than Spurs. Moyes has took them so far and done a great job. He has solidified and put them on the map. It's primed for somebody like Poch who has a more attack minded attitude to come in and take them to the next level...

    But that's in the past Joe. The potential and fan base is there. Bigger than Chelsea even. Sure, every one associates the core fans with the ICF etc but that's changing. Look, I have no love for West Ham and I'm only using them as an example of a team with growing ambition and being a great...

    There's no question that the potential for Spurs is higher but we've been saying that for 40 years 😆. There's something wrong there in that we consistently see a lack of long term vision for the team. We saw it at United after Fergie left and I believe they have now got it right with Haag...

    At this point in time is Tottenham a more attractive proposition than West Ham for instance? I think the West Ham ownership are more responsive to a coaches needs/wants and there's certainly less pressure. If I'm Poch im certainly not going back.

    Don't like or rate Conte. Howe would have been a perfect fit for Spurs but they went with the big name.

    Yep, and having a manager who is a strong leader and knows what he wants is vital in a club like United. I have no idea what Rashford did to receive a disciplinary benching but it speaks volumes that both Haag and Rashford came out winners in the situation.

    What I like about Arsenal is they don't look as defensively vulnerable as Man City sometimes do. They don't play as high and don't get caught out on the break. If they keep beating up on the lower teams then losing to City won't matter. I think it'll be a race to the end between the two with...

    I'm with you to a certain extent but you risk going broke if you drop into the championship with that stadium. ( I don't think they'll go down btw). It'll just be interesting to see what happens. I should have said pragmatic as opposed to unattractive in terms of style. Btw. What is "banter...

    I mean, the bigger point is that Moyes is known for defensive shape and solidity while eking out results.If he can't bring that to this team I don't see why you would stick with him. If a team is playing unattractive football AND not winning the fans won't stand for it no matter who you are...

    I'm just throwing it out there for discussion. And David Moyes, while he did a decent job with Everton, has not won anything anywhere.

    I'm not so sure. West Ham are no longer the lovable mid tier side that everyone wants to succeed because they play nice football. Now they are top 5 in attendance with big ambition. I don't think Moyes is the guy to get them there and if they don't start picking up points soon I can see him...
