I agree that Moyes is no tactical genius but above all else, he IS a pragmatist. Arguably THE most pragmatic manager in the league. He knows that with his 3 best players out, if he set up to take the game to us, there's a good chance his side gets picked apart. So guess what, he kept it...

Again, this is subjective. I guess RDZ knew that Soucek was going to miss a sitter from 4 yards too? West Ham are 3 points clear of us half way through the season. You seem supremely confident they will finish 10th or 11th based on watching two matches of theirs. Tell that to Arsenal.

I'm not even sure West Ham are that bad a watch most of the time. Sure, they anti-footballed their way to a point tonight, but they went to Arsenal and won 2-0, they put 3 past Chelsea and so on. I doubt they're that bad to watch until a possession team comes to town.

Your comments are subjective though. The facts on the other hand show that they took 4 points off us, are ahead of us in the league and won a trophy last year. I'm not saying we're anything other than a good side, and feel we might well improve on our 7th place - but there is nothing "clear"...

We're clearly far superior to a side that has taken 4 points off us, is above us in the league, has played 3 straight seasons in Europe and won a trophy last season? You do realise we like to mock those idiot Palace fans who say things like they'd have 7 players in a strongest BHA/CP XI, right?
