I enjoyed tonight's game. Ake, Stones, Palmer, Fernandinho and Zinchenko all played well but, unfortunately, KDB and Sterling are really, really out of form and it showed. West Ham are very solid defensively and though they created little, they also limited us to few clear chances. Good luck to them as they continue in the cup; I always liked West Ham.
Pretty fair assessment that.
We were never going to create much, Moyes clearly looked to contain and then hit you on the break. Player management obviously because of the amount of football we are playing.
Most of our creative players were sitting on the bench, Moyes brought them on with half hour left.
Been on the Blue Moon forum and like your managers post match interview, to a person nothing less than gracious in defeat - Decent supporters:cool:

You need to be careful with Moyes, if he carries on like this Man U might want him back. He sneaked you back to 4th at the weekend but nobody seemed to notice because of all the Man U wailing.
 
Me too because you were pretty much guaranteed three points when they were the visitors. A different kettle of fish at Upton Park though.
How times change eh?
Seeing your posting name (a Boro supporter?), reminds me of one of my first games when I decided to follow West Ham (back in about 74)...Stuart Boam was the captain, 3-0 home win at the Boleyn in the mud.
Always used to turn us over at Ayresome Park though.....
 
Decent manager Moyes but seems to struggle when given money to spend, doing an excellent job at West Ham. I do rather dislike WHs owners but always liked the club.

Yes, we had a good team under Jack Charlton with Graeme Souness, David Mills and Willie Maddren, David Armstrong and the two Johns Craggs and Hickton.

I saw Clyde Best and maybe Martin Peters that season at Awesome Park but I don't remember Moore or Hurst playing.

Boros record is even worse at Stamford Bridge - I can't remember us ever scoring there never mind getting a point. We hit the post once in 2005ish.

I think Clyde Best wouldve been the only bit part player around 1974, the rest you mention wouldve moved on by then.
That Boro side was a good one, David Armstrong was a class act.....That left foot....
 
Brief evidence on lunch time news seemed a bit damning...

It looked that way to me too. Defence was basically that an Operator (Henderson) and Pilot (Ibbotson) could still be competent even without an Air Operators Certificate and the requisite Commercial Pilots License and Night Rating for piloting the plane. Henderson acted negligently and recklessly as the Operator by failing to check basic details such as his chosen pilots licenses met the legal piloting requirements. He had lied to to try and deflect the blame on to Ibbotson. The plane owner had even instructed Henderson to stop using Ibbotson to fly the plane before the crash because of earlier air space infringements notified by the Civil Aviation Authority. Sentencing is 12 November 2021.
 
How much spending did he actually do at Man U tho?
I’m not sure, he did seem to do better at Everton when he had less money to spend. Ultimately not all players respond to his methods, could be a case of confirmation bias & with hindsight should have been given more time at OT.
 
Some interesting info from the BBC about PL football club spending.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59056840

Cost per title
Liverpool 1 £332m £332m
Manchester City 5 £1264m £253m
Chelsea 5 £948m £190m
Manchester United 5 £917m £183m
Leicester City 1 £164m £164m


Liverpool top the league when it comes to cost per title. ;)

There's your final proof that they are the real big spenders in the Premier League. :D
