He tried the same at TTOD and see how that worked out.This West Ham team is doing what Everton did and will come up short.Results at Everton were very good though and his stint at West Ham has turned them around (twice). Keeping West Ham in the division is the sum total of their boards ambition and he is comfortably achieving that on a limited budget. Once the fans get back in, he will come under a bit of pressure alright "We're West Ham and we play on the floor". Looking forward to this game.Yes he kept them there or there abouts but no Cigar, he did not push on and pretended he did not spend money which was rubbish. The football was dull.The football was dull at times but it was still football that got results with likes of Fellaini and Cahill benefitting from direct play. But he still had some talented footballers in those teams, likes of Pienaar, Baines, Coleman, Lescott, Arteta, Jagielka. Could mix it physically and play some decent stuff. Likes of Stones and Stones were sold on for huge money too.He surely was working off a lower budget than MON at the same time and finishing higher? They did make the top 4 one year but couldnt get through the qualifiers I think. He also left the club in a good spot unlike MON did with us.

A very limited Manager, he drove Evertonians nuts with his constant safety first negativity. He tried the same at TTOD and see how that worked out.This West Ham team is doing what Everton did and will come up short.

The Young game everyone remembers but the 3-3 at VP later that season was a brilliant game aswell. We were both best of the rest in that period.I do think this West Ham side is closest to what he had at Everton since he left them. Solid keeper and defence, functional midfield and tricky players in final third. Soucek with his heading ability and late runs into the box reminds me of Tim Cahill aswell.

I don't care if it's in jest or not but can we not ever use that term or abbreviation on here? It's repulsive.Anybody calling them 'United' is a far bigger crime and one that really boils my piss.

Never one for me, although he probably better than anyone on that list.from the comments i saw every time we seemed keen, i had the impression he saw himself above us. waiting for the man u job. My best mate is a Everton fan and no way (irrationally) i wanted his sloppy seconds.
