Last thing we need is a reaction from an absolute drubbing I think!

It's incredible reassuring that one of relegation rivals has such an insipid, uninspiring manager
As amusing as this is, we nearly lost to that shower of shite and they even put 3 past us.
Still, today is all about laughing at Championship bound West Ham and their 23,000 crowds for Wigan and Reading in that newly expanded 67,000 seating soulless bowl.

Stupid IDIOT
Shocking non game , City did the minimum and West Ham were shocking. I wonder if they will set up the same way at Liverpool

Yep a nice comfortable, dare I say, even planned 0-2 defeat is pretty much perfect for the Albion.
Looking at the list of current premier league managers:
Eddie Howe
Sean Dyche
Jürgen Klopp
Chris Wilder
Pep Guardiola
Daniel Farke
Nuno Espírito Santo
Roy Hodgson
Dean Smith
Ralph Hasenhüttl
Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Brendan Rodgers
Graham Potter
Frank Lampard
Steve Bruce
José Mourinho
Nigel Pearson
Mikel Arteta
Carlo Ancelotti
David Moyes
There seems to be a good mix of new faces in there, both younger recently retired players getting a big chance early in the career, plus some foreign managers that your average fan weren't aware existed. There's still a couple of older managers who always seem to get a job however poorly their last (few) jobs have turned out (Bruce, Pearson, current day Moyes). It feels like in the past there's be the big dogs (Arsene, Sir Alex, even Moyes at the Time) then the rest of the jobs were taken up by 'the usual suspects' (Pulis, Big Sam, Pearson, Bruce, Hughes, Pardew, Warnock, O'Neill, Redknapp, McLaren etc).
It feels like we're getting away from that old managerial merry-go-round, so it's harder to just walk back into a premier league job than it used to be as clubs look for that next big young manager out there.
As such, it seems like a very risky job for Moyes to have taken - this could be his last chance to be a premier league manager if he doesn't keep them up and go on to turn them into a decent side next season, which, given what he's working with and the position they are in seems to be a very difficult ask.

10 British ones too. When was the last time the PL had that many I wonder?
Steve Bruce is a decent manager, I’d not be so harsh. He’s done well at many clubs, pretty successful and given the toxic Toon, he’s done a really good job there so far I’d say.
I wouldn't have done it if I was him but maybe he can turn it around in the Championship with a good run up and putting his own stamp on the team. *chortle*

Moyes is a proven winner, he's said it himself, winning is what he does.

well, that narrows it down a bit
Does it?
Rodri broke the Premier League record for completed passes last night.
He amassed 178 completed of 188 attempted passes.
In perfect symmetry on the night West Ham also completed 178 - In total.

Friendly reminder that about 99% of the people who become professional athletes are absolutely obsessed with winning and/or not losing.
"Lack of motivation" is a common fan myth but very rare in reality.
