    You wouldn't be able to trace any Wenger bungs either. They wouldn't even try. Harry nicks money from the petty cash tin. Wenger is another level.

    Sort of how I feel about Wenger's top 4 finishes. Nothing to shout about.

    But this is good news for us. With Harry gone, it disrupts Spurs for a season and Liverpool also have to adjust to their new manager...we should have it easier next season for a top 4 finish.

    when he took over they had 2 points from a possible 16 and sat bottom of the league. within 1 season he took them to the league cup final albeit they lost to man utd. the year after that he achieved their best premier league season to date finishing 4th with 70 points.

    you may hate him for his character and personna but his achievement was exceptional given the circumstances he arrived in.

Can Moyes do a Wenger? Maybe, but certainly not with the same amount of style and WUMery. When you see this shit exploding in spudland you have to admit there's a fair degree of stability at our club. It looked dicey at the start of last season but Wenger still pulled through in the end. For all his flaws he's done a job that somebody like Redknapp could only dream of. Arry is a minor league hack by comparison.
    moyes is a disaster for spurs. a manager needs to fit into the team ethics and style of play in order for the team they are taking over to succeed; moyes is a conservative manager not an expansive manager. at everton he likes to put 10 men behind the ball, organise the defence and midfield, and make the team rigid. he wants his team to be hard to break down. everton dont have expansive wingers or creative attacking midfielders like modric in the team; the closest thing they have to modric is ross barkley who is promising but still cant get into the first team. these sort of players dont fit into moyes' system. everton are a team that like to lump it long to jelavic/fellaini, not a team that counter attack or play with pacey wingers. if he went to spurs he would set them up the way he knows best; defensive and rigid. the players spurs have do not suit that system, they need a manager that brings attacking football with plenty of flair. someone who likes to get the ball wide and hit the opposition on the counter with plenty of pace.

    just look at mcleish when he was at birmingham; he was an organiser and a defensive minded coach. he went to aston villa and tried to do the same with what he had at his disposal e.g. put 10 men behind the ball. but he failed miserably. why? because the players at his disposal couldnt play that way. they needed a gus poyet not an alex mcleish. they needed a rodgers or martinez not a mcleish.

    i can only hope spurs go for moyes because players like vaart, modric, bale will all be suppressed under his regime, consequently, they will all leave. he'll fill the spurs team with players like sandro, parker, huddlestone, and although they are good, it will not bring them much success. he'll stick 10 men behind the ball, make them sit deep and the crowd will hate it. spurs players cant do that. he'll make the spurs team boring and unimaginative. his style of management suits a team like chelsea who are very good at everything ive explained moyes does, and if he goes there he'll be very successful, but at a team like spurs, he's an absolute disaster.

    martin jol did pretty much the same thing as arry did, just a lasagne away from beating us to CL football. he came in when they were shit too.

    you also said he was a great man manager, think the back end of last season proved that wrong. where was this great skill when we fucked up against norwich and all they needed to do was win against villa? he failed.

    As a manager, I am not sure he was exceptional bit I will say he got them playing, spunked a whole lot of money finding the right group but got there in the end. This last season you could say they challenged our mantle of playing the most attractive football, whether we hold that mantle anymore is another question.

    As a human being he is a failed specimen, a fucking judas. . .and if he is being shafed I dont care, because he is only get done to him what he has done to so many others.

    Whether he cocked up a ten point lead, I'm not sure. . .he probably watched us do it so many times and thought thats what should be done
