Give Moye's A Chance


I don't understand, how after 6 months of David Moyes's reign why Manchest United fans are calling for him to be sacked? He's one of the top coaches in the league if not the country his CV at Everton speaks for itself. He took a club that was fighting to get out of  the relegation zone into a top 8 side that's qualified for the Champions League in 2005 with a small budget!

Many say before he got the Old Trafford post and even now that Moyes's wasn't the right man because he hasn't got experience of managing at a "top club" . But wasn't Fergie not in the same boat when he managed Aberdeen, East Stirlinhshire and St Mirren? But he still turned them into title winning teams. Moyes may not have won anything at Everton, but taking a small club of Everton's stature to an FA Cup final, and Europe is just as impressive as winning trophies, not too mention David Moyes has nurtured top talents such as Barkley, Osman and Ronney and brought some top players to the blue half of Merseyside with the likes of Fellani, Piennar and Jelavic. Imagine the things he can do at United with the clubs great set up and youth policy.

Like I have always said on Twitter it took Fergie 4 years to win his first piece of silverware. After he was appointed in 1986 Man United were a team fighting relegation, finishing in the top 6 let alone not being the force they should have been on the pitch. So you cant be giving Moyes stick after 6 months as we all know when a new manager comes in, a club starts from scratch. The new manager brings in the players he wants, and the formations he wants to do. So the club is in transition. People can say he didn't do enough in the transfer window just gone and over spent on Fellani, but that wasn't his fault now that David Gill is not there, the new people that have taken over him didn't do what was asked of Moyes and didnt get him targets such as Tiago, Ozil and Lewandowski to the club.

Fergie suggest and wanted Moyes is the man to take over him when he retired. So there must something Fergies sees in him as Fergie has a great cast in judgement. Moyes was the right man as he's there for the long term as he managed Eveton for 11 years. Many people said that Mourinho should have gotten the job but I disagree as much as Mourinho has been one of the best mangers in world in the last 10 years he doesn't stay for long, he's not a long term manager he will get bored and move on to another job and his sometimes negative tactics wouldn't suit the clubs style of play. Moyes has deserved his chance at the job hence why I believe hes the guy to take Man United to even more success and you Man United clowns that call your self fans should get off his back!!!!!!!!!!

Arsenal Are Not Worthy Title Contenders

Last Sunday's match left a bitter taste in mouth, and proved to me what I've been thinking all season Arsenal are not title contenders and cannot mix it with the big boys. Okay we beat the 3rd best team in Europe 4 days before, but someone answer me how we can loose to a mediocre Manchester side who are 8th but yet we can beat an inform Champions League side that went to the final?

We may have beat City in pre season, (Because that really counts doesn't it?) but Arsenal have not convinced me this season, the squad is missing 3 to 4 star players and if we can get a defender and a striker and hold on to our lead after Christmas then maybe my pessimistic mood will change. In football you win  silverware by beating the best teams, and even though Man United are not the same as they were now that their under the Moyes regime, they are still one of the top dogs of English football and if Arsenal cant beat them when their haven't even hit 3rd gear, then we're not title contenders sorry to you Arsenal fans, our team does not cut the mustard.

The only thing that will change my mind is if Wenger brings in reinforcement in January, and we get results against the big boys, I don't accept for us to beat big teams in Europe, have string of results then fall at the big teams. And I also believe that with Wenger at the helm I don't think we'll win silverware as he hasn't brought in the right players and keeps selling key players. This is my opinion and my logic and if Arsenal fans wants to question my loyalty to the club then go ahead. I'm a realist and we can't be getting carried away with run of performances and man of match performances from our midfield. We need trophies at the club, the rats and the spiders are getting to comfortable in the trophy room.

Will Arsenal Still Be Top Dogs Come May?

Like I've said from the start of season and I will carry on saying it. Arsenal will not win the league! We have Ozil so what? Ramsey is putting in world class displays so what? but with the great midfield that we have and had over the past seasons. A midfield alone will not win you a cup competition let alone the league. We have too many liabilities at the back of the park. Sagan is not once the great right back that he was when he first came here and as good as Mertsacker is he can be exposed due to his lack of pace.

You Arsenal fans can call me pessimistic and not really backing my team. But lets be honest Ozil as great as he is who in my opinion is the best attacking midfielder in the world can not win us the league, we may have so much depth in midfield, but so did Chelsea last season and they came up short in the league even though they did well in the cup competitions. If they had performed defensively well they would have gone far in the Champions League and done well in the league but like I say and will always say defenses wins you leagues not your attacking options. We may have great midfielders like Ozil, Ramsey and Jackie Boy on the books
but are they gonna help us concede less goals? I think not.


There was something that my manager told me and colleague once he mentioned if Arsenal sign an out and out striker in January. Then league is ours I agree but with so many strikers to choose from it's really hard to choose I would love to have Loic Remy come in the winter window, he's fast, skilful and someone that has eye for goal someone that I feel that we've been missing since RVP left. I also feel that we need to sign a defender that is versatile preferably a center back that can fill in the full back positions as I fell Gibbs is injury prone, Jenkison is too inconsistent and we need more quality defenders.


This weekend will be a big test as we face United, who are going through a blip this season but are slowly coming back to form. To me this match will prove if we really are title contenders because if we cant be the big boys of this league like United, Chelsea and Man City then I don't think we should be with in a shout of being title contenders.
