Can't stand him. Sure he does 'knows his stuff', as he should as it's his job. His whole schtick is to then willfully try to subvert the prevailing logic, usually starting with some historical insight into the mind of the protagonist or a reference to the distant past that's supposed to illuminate the real inner workings of the mind, and then cod-philosophizing his way from there. Here's some classic Ken Early horseshit for you

His bullish self-importance is clear on Second Captains,where he goes to great lengths to make pointless analogies and either disagrees with the sensible points the other lads make ('yeah but...' is his middle name) or he just has to go one further ('not only that but...').

Guff merchant and nothing more.

Nope. How'd you figure that?

Lads, can we stay on topic. This isn't fun unless we're laughing at United.

I reckon you're taking Early a bit too seriously Benny Cake, it seems clear to me that most of the shtick involving parallels between football and high literature or some World War II battle or whatever is intended for laughs. Maybe it comes across better on the podcast where you have McDevitt taking the piss out of him all the time. Got a chuckle out of the bit in the Slate article where he was illustrating how weak Moyes' public announcements have been by inserting 'hopefully' and 'possibly' into famous quotes from Churchill and Milton.

Sorry boss.

Back on topic, from Tactics Bored:

....[vs City] was an interesting selection of players for the midfield by Moyes, given Carrick’s lack of mobility and woeful performances this season, Cleverley’s cowardice in choosing where to run and pass, and Fellaini’s total unsuitability given the players around him. There was however, another midfield three that Moyes and United could have chosen:

Yeah, he's going a bit Grantland on it.

Part of the post where I laugh at United is here: haha

Hardly, I just think he's a tit that can't write for shit

You have a lot of anger in your young heart.

 

[Hector Grey]

Ah here, I like tits.

 

[Hector Grey]

I have to stop myself shouting MOYES IN at lads in United shirts these days. Especially the kids. God love them, they thought they were hopping on a gravy train.

This?

Steven Gerrard and the 'top, top' chop | Ken Early | Football | theguardian.com

I might be due a bathroom break actually

Jesus, he really likes Stevie G

I like how our Ken deems it his job to correct the record after Ferguson's slight.

Great read

 

[Unicron]

Jesus, he really likes Stevie G

He is a pool fan afterall. Though he has pointed out plenty of times that Gerrard can't tackle for shit.

Oh, right

My list of top, top replacements for Moyes:

Billy Davies
Joe Kinnear
Tony Adams
Phil Brown

I reckon Bayern will take it easy tonight. they'll shut up shop and keep the ball at 2-0. Maybe they'll nick a last one just to be sure, to be sure.

THE GAFFER

I'm sure some will say they've done okay tonight. Not me though. Every time Fergie went out and got hammered by Pep he got hammered by playing his way. What's sad about tonight is that this is Moyes way and it's fucking deplorable.

Oh and Wellbeck, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.



Is Manzukic injured ?

David Moyes is a tactical genius.

 

[washingcattle]

To be fair Bayern didn't play well. United hung in there but they are as one dimensional as a Tony Pulis side.

Moyes out Pulis in!
