• Plus 5 is certainly decent Ian. Just say what we all know - Villa are better than us; Emery is better than Moyes.rnrnIt\'s not that hard. It\'s logical. It\'s true....
  Paul Griffiths in Europa League Final
• You was right Ian, because stats obviously don’t lie mate, but I’m just reading Mike’s post which looks like it’s suggesting that Arsenal have picked style over pragmatic substance, replacing Arteta, with Emery!rnrnExperience is vital, but so is having a manager who knows how to utilise his squad....
  Tony Abrahams in Europa League Final
• The point I was making was Emery was winning with experience, not youth. rnrnHe has had the benefit of stability of the club for longer. When they were investing in the squad, we were messing about to survive with 777.rnrnSomeone suggested that Emery played free flowing football. The stats at the time were a plus 5 goal difference vs Everton after 34 games.rnrnSo yeah, I was right at the time.rnrn...
  Ian Bennett in Europa League Final
• It’s probably me Ian, reading you wrong, but that’s what tends to happen when people keep reciting stats. You helped me out the other day by putting Patterson’s appearances up, but sometimes I find that when people constantly try to use stats it becomes a little bit boring mate, (I did say that I think you have got a good knowledge of the game without using stats, Ian!) just like I have found it boring and also frustrating watching Everton, in quite a few of our games this season.rnrnWe all see a different game, with mine being that I find that most teams are playing a similar style of boring football, but when I watch Villa, they actually look like they do things for a reason and I love the way that they have got players, who don’t panic when they have got possession in tight area’s, and this natural calmness under pressure, looks like it has been drummed into them on the training ground....

  Billy Shears in Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton: Match Preview and Predicted Lineup
• Ian 26.rnrnI haven\'t seen his presser, nor do I want to, but I'm glad someone has brought him to task over the tired line.rnrnAs she said they\'ve only played 40 games, yes the 2 Senegal lads played a few more but the knackered line has wore thin.rnrnIf they are tired, thats down to Moyes who\'s flogged them to death, his treatment of the squad has been awful, one instance was Ndiaye should have brought off at ht last week and George put on, but no stubborn Dave knows best.rnrnHis treatment of Alcaraz Dibling Rohl Armstrong and said George has been appaling, and everyone is sick to death of it, also I'm hearing we are in talks to sign Trippier of Newcastle, what a total and utter insult, I do hope this is mischief making but knowing Moyes it wouldnt shock me....
