Weekend Football 12/13th February

[Thomas L'Heureux]

Stunning goal by Wayne Rooney to put 'United 2-1 up in the Manchester derby with just over 10 minutes to play.

[Row Z Royal]

Genuine shout of "woddagoal" in Chez Z earlier.

Missus non-plussed by it. Women.

Bloody hell! 3-3!

[roadrunner]

What a shambolic colapse from West Brom. West Ham being relegated is about all I have left to look forward to this season and they continue to tease me.

[soggy biscuit]

Not releated to this weekends matches but only just seen this tackle on Benzema from a few days ago.

A 2/10 from me

[roadrunner]

Bolton 2 Everton 0 (Cahill, Sturridge)

Everton remain 3 points off the bottom three. Could Everton lose patience with Moyes after all this time?

[AthleticoSpizz]

could Moyes lose patience with Everton (and its lack of financial backing) after all this time (9 years?)

[cmonurz]

Sturridge looking like a class act, 3 in 3 for him at Bolton. Torres and Sturridge to lead the line for Chelsea next season?

[AthleticoSpizz]

...and Moyes to manage it??

Well that is a very good question. The red tops were reporting recently that he may be losing patience and you could understand why.

[cmonurz]

...and Moyes to manage it??

Possible, Ancelotti must surely need to win the CL to keep his job.

[PEARCEY]

Can't see Moyes managing Chelsea. He's not high profile enough. Decent,solid manager but Everton haven't gone places under his management and he hasn't always been starved of funds.

I'm thinking out-of-the-box when (whats left of) the Russian money has fled back east Pearcey

I think you're being a bit harsh on Moyes there. If you look at the budgets he's been restricted too and the league finishes he's had with Everton, I'd say he's done an exceptional job there under the circumstances. On occasion,he has had some reasonable money to play with, but more often than not it's been a small budget. Luckily for Everton Moyes has a good eye for a player, and is one for plucking players from the Championship, which is always good to see and never bank breaking fees. (Cahill, Jagielka, Lescott..)

[PEARCEY]

He's done a perfectly reasonable job there Jay but I don't see him as the type Chelsea appoint. He's got no money to spend now but thats not always been the case and for a club thats been in top flight football for as long as I can remember he hasn't quite managed to make the breakthrough with them...ie winning things or getting into the top 4. When they have managed to get into Europe they've fared poorly. So he's a qualified success as Everton manager in my eyes....and I think Chelsea will want more than that on a CV.

I think Moyes has done a pretty good job at Everton but I wonder if it is time for a new challenge for him. He is now 3/1 to be the next Premiership Manager to leave his job. I agree with Pearcey I cannot see Chelsea going for him. The Champions League is their Holy Grail and I think they will continue to go for Managers who have a lot of top level European or International experience. I think he might make a sideways sort of move maybe at the end of the season.
