moyes being undersold itt imo, think he has a lot more to offer than champs league qualification on a shoestring. pretty good tactical brain and seems to handle his players well. minimum of fuss plus pathological bloodymindedness makes him a reasonable choice to survive the insane glare that will inevitably be trained on whoever takes over. for his sake i hope they go with someone else, you want to be the guy that takes over halfway thru the season after next, not the first guy.

moyes hasnt won a single away league game vs a top four team in 10 yrs

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 17:28 (thirteen years ago)

do you think that trend would continue if he was managing United?

Koné 2013 (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 17:29 (thirteen years ago)

How many home games do the top four lose not-against-each-other now anyway? A couple a year each, if that?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 17:33 (thirteen years ago)

so that would be 80 games in a decade, none won by everton

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)

probably more like 50 irl but still

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)

Thorstvedt, Hughton, Van den Hauwe, Polston, Howells, Mabbutt, Walsh, Gascoigne, Nayim, Lineker, Sedgley

Last Tottenham XI to win at Stamford Bridge

mizzell, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 18:08 (thirteen years ago)

The winning goal that day. It's like another world.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 18:21 (thirteen years ago)

Realness.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 18:33 (thirteen years ago)

Also until this season Spurs hadn't won at Old Trafford since 1989. I don't think we'll win tonight.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 18:35 (thirteen years ago)

Oh fuck Adebayor, seriously?

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 18:45 (thirteen years ago)

Fuck me!

The Horse Rustler and the Rustler's Horse (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:12 (thirteen years ago)

Unbelievable!

ineloquentwow (Craigo Boingo), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:12 (thirteen years ago)

Did not see that coming

The Horse Rustler and the Rustler's Horse (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:12 (thirteen years ago)

nice touch.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:13 (thirteen years ago)

that was a pretty languid finish

Number None, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:13 (thirteen years ago)

Come on, no one saw that coming.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:13 (thirteen years ago)

was on the phone to my dad and he told me Adebayor had equalized, told him to check his glasses

Koné 2013 (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:24 (thirteen years ago)

FUCK IT

ineloquentwow (Craigo Boingo), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:25 (thirteen years ago)

Excellent goal. Because it was Spurs you just assume it was shit.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:26 (thirteen years ago)

Ah no, GNev's got their number.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:26 (thirteen years ago)

I've seen this trotted out a few times, but it doesn't actually seem to be true.
For example:
Mon Dec 20 2010 Prem A Man City W 2-1 45,028 Cahill T Baines L

city werent a cl team then

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:33 (thirteen years ago)

they arent 72 yrs old and they come from director of fitba cultures

UK fitba culture is that different from other countries? Old geezers having worked in the bizz for decades and unable to let go of their power/influence is not a UK thing? Wouldn't happen there?

Ok.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:34 (thirteen years ago)

id guess that is their own away victory vs even a good side, not that im gonna check their away record vs tottenham etc

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:35 (thirteen years ago)

there isnt a dof culture u putz

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

city werent a cl team then

So they've failed to beat a team that finished in the top 4 the previous season rather than failed to beat a team that finished in the top 4 that season?

The Horse Rustler and the Rustler's Horse (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

Cheers Nakh...

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

so this is more or less without precedent since shankly or busby or whatever

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:37 (thirteen years ago)

nbs u are the worst fucking pedant cocksucker on ilf

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:38 (thirteen years ago)

this is what the crowd wanted to see

I'm just trying to work out what it is that he's supposed to have done / not done. I'm not singling you out - I've read the same 'fact' about a hundred times today all over the place. (xp)

The Horse Rustler and the Rustler's Horse (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:39 (thirteen years ago)

it's a totally irrelevant detail regardless of how you want to draw it up. man u vs top 4 and everton vs top 4 couldn't be more different, particularly in what those games mean for the respective sides for their season.

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:43 (thirteen years ago)

Rooney to Chelsea? Presumably that would mean Torres would be on his way?

The Horse Rustler and the Rustler's Horse (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:44 (thirteen years ago)

19:41 HANDBAGS - nakhchivan 0-0 NBS

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQeqZrxJ8ONkPbY3cIxvGtLS-fobSOi95_Lgtx1yrVT6RKRH-Ml It's all kicking off here on ILE, where nakhchivan has just planted his studs into NBS' chest while referee Matt DC was looking the other way. Feisty atmosphere, and it feels like this could boil over at any point.

What's pedantic about that? ffs

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:46 (thirteen years ago)

how long have Sky been doing these swanky graphics during the game? Only noticed them last week

Number None, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:50 (thirteen years ago)

wait so is this on sky? cunts.

al leong the watchtower (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:51 (thirteen years ago)

They look quite good, but it's so wobbly it's obviously four interns twiddling joysticks

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:51 (thirteen years ago)

theres not even an informal culture of gerontocracy in english fitba at least since roy evans carked it and the boot room legacy was effectively annulled

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 19:52 (thirteen years ago)

immense shout out to imago with the content provision on the sidelines btw

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:00 (thirteen years ago)

al leong the watchtower (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:04 (thirteen years ago)

Spiralli otm, nakh over the ball

al leong the watchtower (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:07 (thirteen years ago)

idk if u cant see how a record that bad vs good sides is indicative of something im not going to help u

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:10 (thirteen years ago)

Hes consistent

al leong the watchtower (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:11 (thirteen years ago)
