This is why I prefer life under Moyes ..

Frederik Alves a young defender has just signed for us ... Well 2nd January he joins

Very low key not a long drawn out affair ... Done early

Much better than a scatter gun last min job
 
Bit unlucky .
Goalie howler.
Lino howler that third looked miles offside.
Don't think luck had too much to do with it in the end although I agree the third goal did look marginal.

Just like the other times when I have seen Arsenal on the box recently they don't look anything like the quality they used to be.

Still a big club but a poor team.

Worst City display Ave seen this season against a woeful Arsenal side. If they don’t buck up they will be playing Sheff Utd next year.
 
I see the pathetic Fulham red card has been rescinded after the VAR recommended the on field ref go over to the monitor and change his mind to give him a red card.

So a missed "clear and obvious" decision has turned out to be incorrect ???
 
He is brilliant - on and off the pitch.

It’s no coincidence that we are doing well when we have a top scottish player in the team and he up there with the best we have had

Not sure why him being Scottish has any relevance to your success tbh, but he is quality.

My fav moment of his was the world club comp where he went in on the defender who'd been all over mane.

He seems an old school player in terms of attitude.

A little bit of footballing history but we’ve never won the league without a Jock in our side.

I presumed that was the case. Its more the fact that of how it was worded tbh.

It came a across as though you weren't capable of winning a title without some sort of trate a Scotsman brings to your team, when realistically that's just a coincidence.
 
Unlucky? No one in that Arsenal team looks like they even want the ball back. City just tapping it around under no pressure at all.
At 1-1 your still in any game even if your playing crap.
They were unlucky with the second and third goals .
They have very little fight in them and look a very poor team atm.

18 times is more than a coincidence??

If you look at the era when you won most of them, how teams were made up at that time, then it isn't really. If Chelsea or City had a similar record, new era wins, then it would stand out more as exceptional.

Annoyingly, the player in question is very, very good. He isn't picked for his 'lucky Scot' credentials :LOL:

Or has Klopp just made him a better player?
Superstition or coincidence we have had the cream of the crop over the years of Scottish lads.
 
Who was the last English team to win the title with English players. #nohistory?

Although they did have a token “ jock” who played four games inc 2 as a sub.

It’s exactly how I say it - when we have a World Class jock playing for us we win the big trophies , they just seem to connect with the fans both on and off the field - and Robbo is keeping up that mantel.

It’s quite staggering how a player jumps from Hull to be the best left back in the world - TAA gets a lot more limelight but as Neville says - he just needs to learn from Robbo if he really wants to a truely world class player.

Unbelievable player
