So pathetic frankly

Another Paddy Power failed attempt at humour.

You'd have to be happy for Moyes and indeed West Ham .

We have heard so much that qualifying for these smaller European competitions only hinders your league form with all the travel and smaller squads etc .
This might change mindsets a bit . West Ham coasted through most of the rounds . You'd imagine that it gave Moyes the chance to play a lot more of his squad than he would have been able to do if they were only playing domestic competitions .
What English club wouldn't have wanted to be there last night ? And now West Ham get entry into Europe for next season as well .

Even with our famously small squad we coped quite well with Europe. I’m still convinced that the ridiculously short break before we started again the next season completely killed us. Moutinho in particular seemed a shadow of his former self but bounced back the following season.

We might well have beaten Sevilla over two legs. Beating Manchester United had become a hobby. Final against Inter would have been the best away ever. Fucking Covid.

Looking at Moyes last night after it was over , he didn't seem to know what to do with regard to celebrating . Just be yourself I'd always say .

Moyes always looks very intense on the sideline , often looks angry all the time , seems to find it hard to relax you would think .
The smart thing for him would be to resign , rather than let someone else make the decision for him . However he strikes me as the kind of fella who will find it hard to give up and walk away .

Strange camera angle for this one, or is it just me?

Seems a long way away

 

[Tredman]

Stands are miles away from the pitch. Mate sent this earlier, he’s in the city end behind the goal

I thought that. It makes the pitch look really small.

 

[Wolftone]

City second best so far

 

[Jack Regan]

I thought that. It makes the pitch look really small.

That was my initial thought that the pitch was small. Might be a symptom of watching so many games taking place at Wembley recently.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

How distracting must it be to be doing your best to cut Inter off and you're concentrating on your positioning and the opposition running off you then your manager starts waving and yelling instructions at you......AAAArggghh! Too much noise!

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Grealish having a mare.

 

[Jack Regan]

De Bruyne doesn't have much luck in these finals does he?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

That foul on Grealish was well hidden from the ref. Dirty little bastard....

 

[Wolftone]

De Bruyne doesn't have much luck in these finals does he?

Nope. I don't think he's been his usual self the last few times I've seen him anyway tbh. Foden might stretch them a bit more, might be for the best.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Inter pressing very well. Making Stones look like the CB in midfield he is.

 

[Johnny75]

Stones is playing well. Rodri on the other hand is having a mare and Inter have two on him every time he gets the ball.

Inter's uber-gegenpress is something special.

 

[Tredman]

Can’t imagine they can keep it up the entire game

 

[Jack Regan]

Definite credit to Inter for the way they've given City no time on the ball whatsoever, City haven't coped with it at all. Be interesting if they can keep it up as only takes a few players to be a little bit loose in that press and they may be end up being exposed.
