• I'd certainly be open to getting Wilson in until the end of the season, especially if we're possibly going to be playing 2 strikers (It seemed to work pretty well)...

• Ian #76 Given that Irvine made the remarks to Darren and his mates 15 years ago and then repeated them fairly recently in The Athletic I suspect that your take (para's 4/6) probably reflect the truth of the situation. Certainly Irvine's remarks aren't necessarily critical of Moyes. ...

  Merle Urquart in Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• Yes Paul, they couldn’t handle it those horrible red noses and this is why I can never accept being called bitter, by a fan base who I consider can be as bitter as any other set of fans in the country, even though they have won so much. The lad lives in Newmarket, but he has been given a few days off to get away from it all and then he will find out more. I’m positive, he has been playing with a thigh strain, and he’s been playing a lot of games, so although it showed a tear, I’m just hoping a few weeks away and a positive attitude gets him back with the squad by the start of March. There was a suggestion that Millwall, were going to pull him back in a similar way to what Everton have done with Harrison Armstrong, but that’s out the window, so I’m just hoping he recovers and helps Cambridge to promotion, because I think they have got some very good supporters, who deserve it🤞...
  Tony Abrahams in Nottingham Forest vs Everton Player Ratings: James Garner inspires win at City Ground
• I think it’s your selective memory that is Tiny, Eric mate! Everton win two games on the bounce, but Moyes chose to start Gueye, and leave Alkaraz, on the bench against Chelsea, which resulted in a loss, just like he recalled Michael Keane to the side on Sunday, in place of Patterson. Two games in the last few weeks have seen David, do exactly the opposite of what you’re claiming Eric - change a winning team, but I think Raymond, understands Moyes, a lot more, by claiming he usually plays what he considers to be his strongest team? That’s my biggest gripe with David Moyes, because his lack of integration definitely doesn’t help his squad imo, especially when he throws players in from the cold, for cup games, which probably explains why he has a very poor record in the cups? I find it bemusing that a man who has never really been blessed with a squad that is good enough to win the league, still often prefers to use his shadow squad (players who are not usually quite ...

• Darren, What your inside scoop misses, is he listened to his assistant manager. He might of thought a million things, but he listened and SIGNED THE PLAYER. PLAYING THE PLAYER WHEN HE WAS FIT. He did all of that, despite Irvine f***ing off to Preston 4 months later. No doubt on the recommendation of Moyes. Perhaps he missed that bit? Perhaps it was a better tale than failing as a gaffer at 3 championship clubs? If I was him, id tell that story too. But do you know what good managers do. They get good assistant managers around them, to make a good team. Good assistant managers recommend internal & external players to managers, it has been going on since God was a boy. Harvey recommended players to Kendall. Peter Taylor certainly did it for Clough,. The entire Liverpool system was based on the assistant manager feeding into the gaffer. No doubt Ferguson was helped by his changing assistants. Think Ronaldo was signed by his Portuguese sidekick. Perhaps instead of th...
