How do they do it?

David Moyes is a great manager in my eyes. I don't think many would do as well as him.
They should be scrapping for survival really.

You have got to admire them.

There's a parasitic fungus that preys on a specific type of ant in the Brazilian rain forest. Once it's infected it's host, it grows by stealing all the nutrients from the ant and only allowing enough to supply the essential organs and the muscles. Once it's reach a certain stage of growth it starts to starve the brain, and this is the clever bit. The only part of ants brain left to function is a desire to climb, and off it sets, climbing as high as it can up the nearest tree. When it's reached as high as it can possibly go, it collapses and the fungus eats the rest of it's brain and a new shoot bursts out of the ants head and spreads it's spores far and wide.

I have more respect for that fungus than I do for David Moyes.

Quality.

Moyes is doing something right. He has to work with what he has. They don't play football for 80 minutes, they waste time, plod and bore their way through a game trying their damnedest to keep it 0-0. Then they launch it forward to get a set piece to score from. No skill, no talent, just graft. Not for me but it works for them and let's face it the fans are thick as fuck they'll clap anything.
Youre an absolute idiot who knows nothing about football.

Scrapping for survival?! They've got between the fifth and seventh best team in the country and they have had the fifith to seventh best team in the country for pretty much the whole time Moyes has been there. He's NOT working miracles with a shite team, they're a good team and have some very good, even world class, individuals.

What Moyes is good at is building a good team with little money; i'll give him that.

I said this when Moyes wrote the note in the program; if he were a City manager he'd be a legend.
Yep. Never understood the hatred towards him to be honest. If roles were reversed and Everton, a club we see as similar to ours, came in all guns blazing for one of our players, unsettling him in the process, our manager would/should get pissed off with it too. Nothing wrong with what he said.

True about him being an absolute idiot but false in the second as he does know quite a bit about football.

Tbf, that fungus deserves a hell of a lot of respect to come up with that.
