Everton will be a bit of a mess for at least another year while the move settles so Moyes is a good choice.

Also his style of football is much more pleasant than Dyche of he gets a few quality players.
Did the West Ham fans not want rid of Moyes due to his style of play?

Kyle Walker could be heading out of Manchester City. He has asked for a move abroad.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't go to Saudi Arabia considering some of the bills he has landed on himself running 2 families!

Maybe real madrid have been in contact with him after watching Trent vs united.

There were some rumours about Saudi earlier in the week so he'll probably land there.

If he has any ambition of making the England squad for the World Cup then a Saudi move wouldn't make sense. Although obviously the money would be hard to turn down.

Deffo end of an era for city if he moves. One of their Mainstays. Rebuild time but finances will be available you'd guess

City are one of the last clubs that need to rebuild with the depth and young talent they have. Cover for rodri would be the obvious priority. Even with their current squad they will be favourites for all competitions next season.

Depth is far from great going by their form in Premier League and Champions League this season. How many of those young talents I wonder will be City players in two or three years time.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Look-Up!

Crucial set of fixtures coming up in the next few weeks. Liverpool just need to maintain pace and see who falls off. If they don't collapse, hard to see the likes of Arsenal, Forest or Chelsea catching them. Those clubs will be doing well to see 80 points. Failing that, that would leave the reds only needing 34 points to beat them with half of their games remaining.

 Newcastle and Man City absolutely must wins their next 3 games to even be in the outside chance conversation. But in the case of City, if they win their next 6, they will be serious contenders and maybe moving into category of slight favourites. It would mean wins against Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool with the latter having to receive Newcastle at Anfield 3 days after losing at the Etihad. That would represent serious momentum for the sky blues and serious pressure on the leaders.

If I could be bothered I'd stick an oul tenner on city tbh, there's no one capable of going on a run like them as we all know

Oh that's what I mean, they have notions of the West Ham Way - whatever the feck that is?! It seems to involve the odd flair player and then getting relegated a lot...

In terms of Walker, even with his age, his pure pace and power meant that City could play so high up. Even with younger lads they don't have any players close to his speed to sweep.

them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

Walker has been a liability this season and even when fit wasn't a guaranteed starter.

City should cash in, but I'm not sure that Rico Lewis is the answer.

They're 25/1 for a reason and if they don't win their next 3 games it should be longer than that. But if they do, get a good transfer window completed, and win the next 3 after that, the bit will be between the teeth and the cat well amongst the pigeons.

In any case the way the fixtures are falling from now till mid Feb, I think it will wipe out a good few teams from a race they're only hanging onto by a thread. Might even be done and dusted.

Captain Scarlet

I know he has been dodgy but it shows how stuck in his ways Pep is too. He needs to rely on him to cover up with his pace. When he is off, there is no player to do that and Pep won't lie any deeper.
