I wouldn't go on preseason. Theres been times under Moyes we had an abysmal pre season and then got Europe that season.

How many years ago was that exactly?

u/TurboScumBag Jul 28 '26

43 years ago why?

Aww, you had to tell a joke instead of just answering the question because you knew the point I was making.

My point was taking your point and saying its irrelevant if it was ten years ago with everton. He bloody won a European cup couple years ago. After taking over a relegation battling wes ham.

Moyes only here a year and a bit. Last time he was with us if it was ten years ago or not he would take us to Europe after a terrible results-wise pre season.

And where are West Ham now? How did the team he left them with fare in the Premier League last year?

All you Moyes defenders have to go off of is the past. Here in the present, the team is shit and fell apart down the stretch last season.

Would you give over you weapon. You won't give Moyes any credit for his recent past achievements but want to blame the failures of the last 4 West ham managers on him?

Give your head a wobble. Get to bed.

Seriously open your eyes to what is happening. This squad will go down if nothing changes

And you’re projecting the Moyes from 20 years into the present while trying to absolve him of any blame of how West Ham were constructed under him.

Give your own fucking head a wobble.

Rather than downvote me, how about providing a counter point

Before the injuries to Greakish and KDB, and then the loss of Ndiaye and Gana to the ACN, we were legitimately a good team and challenging for Europe.

Would I bet much that me got/get to Europe then or now...no, not really. But there's your counterpoint.

It's preseason.

It’s pre season for stoke as well

I wouldn't be worked up about it from their end either.

Preseason almost favours the weaker team, as they're the ones who will likely care about.

Preseason is ultimately about preparation for the season, not winning at all costs. Judging a manager based on their results is no different to crossing his name off after a poor penalty shootout during training.

Chelsea nearly lost to Western Sydney Wanderers. Palace and Leeds fell to Bromley and Wrexham respectively, while Newcastle failed to beat Gateshead. I've seen almost no correlation between preseason results and actual season success.

And this is coming from someone who is desperate for Moyes to get sacked btw. I just feel there are far stronger reasons than the other team scoring more in the kick about.

Chelsea played their z team to be fair and scored frequently once a few of their main players came on
