"As a 'golden oldie' who had never heard of the manager nor any of the players he has brought in should I feel excited, sombre or pissed off at the start of the new season? Genuine question and which players are going to excite us?"

"Sunak made a massive cockup and has apologised profusely time this was given a rest. Doesn't make Starmer look any better. twoleftfeet, if you want to see more about the Canadian contribution watch Passhendaile (Netflix) if you can reach the end without a tear coming to your eye you are a better ma...

"A clear and obvious mistake which in all probability the ref himself has realised he made. Allow 20 seconds maximum, after all the ref makes his judgement on the spot it shouldn't take a room full of 'experts' and a machine longer than that."

"Well done Earthy, lets hope the new guy believes in giving youth a chance and we catch up with the rest of the premiership clubs!"

"In answer to the question raised, namely what has to be done? We have an expert in Steidten now and a new manager they should have full responsibility for all transfer activity, Sullivan should stay well clear other than paying the bills."

"Don't understand why sullivan doesn't seize the opportunity to give some youngsters plus one or two squad players who seldom play a game. Simply put moyes on garden leave and let Noble and Steidten manage the squad, moyes after all has now completely lost it."

"Don't understand why sullivan doesn't seize the opportunity to give some youngsters plus one or two squad players who seldom play a game. Simply put moyes on garden leave and let Noble and Steidten manage the squad, moyes after all has now completely lost it."

"Amorim, you brought an expert in for this type of decision Sullivan let him do his job!!!"

"The Steidten 'ban' tells us more about sullivan than it does moyes. Wasn't he brought in as an expert who would help guide us to a great and glorious future? moyes fell out with him over transfers now seeks to ban him from talking to the players and where is sullivan in all of this, what a pathetic...

If he has fully recovered it would be good to see Earthy given a start plus one or two other youngsters. As it is I expect to see the Chelsea youngsters give our oldies the runaround!

"Like Oliver generally fair and keeps the game moving, Taylor a disaster waiting to happen and a cheat."

A manager selected by Steidten and not sullivan

"Liverpool out of Europe, almost certainly out of Title race, lose to Everton are surely there for the taking if we play an attacking game! There again every team on a bad run must look at their fixture list to see when they play West Ham, which will it be today? One certain bet Klopp will play more...

"Remind me was it sullivan, brady or both who said when they dragged us out of the Boleyn we can look forward to the day when Andy Carroll would lead us out in the OS in the European Champions Cup? Having spent well over £300m in the last year or so moyes is now fighting to keep us in the top ten, ...

"One thing for sure had that been a manure goal it would have stood, the game is corrupt. Bad luck Coventry, great effort!!"

Sir Alf = trouble is Steidten could bring in the very best but if we haven't got rid of moyes either he won't play them or he will play them out of position. We are going nowhere whilst moyes is still around!

"No point whatsoever in thinking about transfers until we know if we are rid of moyes, no half decent player will join us if he is still around."

"So much for moyes rallying call of 'we need to win the remaining matches! Nobody could give a toss about him, absolutely useless. As I said a while back send him on paid garden leave and let Steidten and Noble see the season out and give youth a chance whilst the rubbish in the boardroom bring a ne...

"We can't start as we did Thursday for reasons clearly demonstrated, namely we will be knackered by half time and have a bench devoid of players who can make a difference. Of course if we got 3/4 up in the first half we ought to be able to hang on to that lead!! ."

"Great performance in the first half deserved to be more than one ahead. The second half demonstrated clearly one of the main reasons moyes must go. Alonso made five substitutions each one strengthened the team, moyes did not have a single player on the bench who would have strengthened our side. No...

"Strange tactics from Pep last night. He has two of the best scorers in the premiership from long range, De Bruyne and Foden yet all night they simply passed the ball across the face of the goal. Not once did either of them have a go, didn't understand it. Agree about Haaland, he seems to have lost ...

"Thanks Fauxstralian, really pleased to hear that sounded pretty bad yesterday. Hope to see him play again soon along with one or two other youngsters. Probably have to wait for moyes to clear off before that happens though!"

"As I said after the midweek match send him on garden leave and let Steidten and Noble manage the team while we search for our new manager. Moyes is way past his best and the tragedy today was when he did at long last bring on a 19 year old the lad got injured, hope its not too bad. As for next Thur...

"No excuses for not winning this, didn't they beat us 5-0 at theirs? What sort of incentive is this, even for a defensive freak like moyes."

Cheating!
