Moyes has generally done good business and players Everton has sold have seldom done as well when they left Goodison as they did for DM(Rooney excepted perhaps, but we know his manager). Graveson was a perfect example - he was the best box-to-box player in Britain when he played for Moyes, left to go to Real and then did nothing. Pienarr was another - left for Spurs did nothing, comes back and looks a top player again. Beware signing from Moyes I'd say Calum.

...and have you noticed how many of them end up back at Goodison? I think that Clough had the same touch!

Good news for my nearest local team Bradford City....how marvellous....http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20955314 .... bit of a Coleman Ball in this report, Valley Parade is (cough ahem) IN A VALLEY .... 'The undiluted joy dripping from the packed stands rising high above the Bradford landscape'.

This sort of thing happens a lot.
I think its to do with the best players at smaller clubs having their teams play to their strenghts, but when they move to a bigger club, they have to adapt their game in ways that may not suit them completely.

Big weekend in the Premiership!

Tomorrow United take on Liverpool, while Arsenal host Man City!

Today there's a huge London derby with Spurs looking to nick three points off QPR to consolidate their Champs League position.

And Hey, don't forget the tiddlers at the other end of the table, as Southampton battle it out for relegation escape with Aston Villa.

Enjoy!!!

Good luck to all the board teams.

Tiddlers !! I'll be discussing this with you on one of those less civilised threads, mr Oven.

I like 8O's optimism....not something that comes with more than 4 decades of following the Saints !
Have a good afternoon if you are off to a game. Wouldn't put a dog out in the weather down here !
