• John #70, you realise don't you that higher place finishes equals more prize money? More prize money enables us to spend more on (hopefully) better players. Getting better players allows us to play better football and gain more places earning us more prize money to buy (hopefully) better players which allows us to play better football and gain more places earning us more prize money to buy (hopefully) better players allowing us to play better football and gain more places earning us more prize money to buy (hopefully) better players? Etc. Etc. Whereas making you a happy clapoer and languishing in the relegation candidates positions will get us...where?...
  Eric Myles in Jermaine Beckford states the obvious for Barry and Beto
• John #66 "How do the other 19 clubs manage to play overlapping full backs Ian " Probably because they have overlapping full backs when we don't. How many times have you seen the ball played to Grealish on the left and there's a wide open channel waitin for an overlapping full back or winger tobrun into and receive the ball and put a cross into the box? Instead Grealish is forced to cut inside giving the opposition players time to get back and the area is congested. As Ian says, if our defenders can only defend and not attack then if they push into attack, who's defending?...

  Steve Brown in Everton switch warm weather plans to the Algarve
• Interesting that Gasperini laments Roma’s transfer business when they signed 3 forwards in the January transfer window. Despite his obvious limitations, Moyes would have a lot more cause for complaint about the transfer business under TFG. His summer signings came late in the window, and despite him having the final approval of transfers, he evidently does not feel that Dibling, Aznou and Rohl are ready for the first team. We went into the January window knowing the signings of 2 full-backs and a centre-forward might make the difference in getting into Europe, but he got none of the above. ...

• Paul/Paul I’ll complain. Moyes entire managerial career is based upon his inferiority complex which means we are always underdogs expecting to lose consequently we throw cup games and home games versus modest opponents. But since his negativity extends so far there are games he expects to be humiliated in so why not give it a go as we will definitely lose anyway. Some of those games we end up winning as we are not as bad as he thinks. Therefore we are stuck in this rut of pitiful failures and “surprise” wins. Anyone without such mental problems would beat the crap teams and possibly also beat the occasional good team. Moyes doesn’t do the former but does the latter ironically by giving up all hope. ...

• To be fair it’s nice to be talking about getting into Europe and not fighting at the bottom. And as you say the league table does not lie although I do think it flatters us. But we have had some great results away from home and not leaked a lot of goals. I just wish we could entertain at home and set up to win and not get beat but Davie won’t change. But if he gets us into Europe then he’s done his job and as much as I did not want him back we cannot fault him points wise as already said the table does not lie. Hopefully we pick up some more points and get 7 th ...
