Ironic that one of the youngsters, that Moyes was always reluctant to play, has come on and scored the last home goal of the season.

See we've started well.
Bad game to miss:

True - racing @ Spa's been red flagged for a huge crash between a Cadillac & a BMW - now in a queue for booze.

Weather's cracking here though.

Good WH result in the end.

Anyone there? What was the atmosphere like at the end for Moyes?

The gap between under 21’s and the PL is beyond massive. Only 4 players have made more than 10 appearances in the premier league from 2010 to 2020.
Rice,Diangana,Ngakia and Johnson. That’s nothing to with Moyes,that’s to do with the gap.
Lots drop into the lower leagues and don’t come back up…in fact never to be seen again.Mentally you’ve got to be off the scale to be a Pl player.

I remember thinking Ashby looked quite promising last season, but he's ended up being loaned to Swansea after joining Newcastle.

Good........as much as I was never a fan of Moyes I am really glad he went out with a win in his last game at home and a good send off...............it gives him a free hit at going all out attack next week biglaugh


Although in reality I have about as much chance of that happening as being the next pope.

Ah, I wondered what was going on - could hear something going on but couldn’t see it.

He got a good clap all the way round the ground - quite right too.

Can’t recall ever missing a goal as I don’t normally do half time/early beers…… missed the first two this time .. nearly missed the third !

A balanced piece on the BBC website for once which, for me, sums up the position well.

I was thinking of watching WH in Florida when visiting my son & family there. Totally put off by the cost of tickets and worse it all Ticketmaster.

Ignoring the parking (which I appreciate's probably essential in Florida) that's approx £90 per ticket if looked at as a whole - similar to higher band/corporate at the OS.

Agree re Tickermaster though - I try & avoid them if they are the ticket seller for gigs. Surprisingly they were the seller for my tickets for the Spa 6 Hours over the weekend (E65 inc. fees for weekend entry).

Seems odd that we're playing Wolves & Palace in the US though - surely playing an MLS or Mexican team would be more interesting.

Hoping for an MC result vs. spuds later...
