Look at our first 4 fixtures, man. What a chance to start off well and we're going to screw it up in spectacular circumstances. It's quite something to behold.
And I don't think you were implying it, but in any case, it happening every year doesn't make it any more acceptable. It makes it a lot worse and frankly, for that, you have to question Moyes.
Bit unfair to lay it all on moyes, he probably finds it hard to motivate himself never mind others after another window without new players and investment. Takes a little while before his passion kicks in as he's fed up and only in it really until a new club with similar standing and £££ to spend comes along.
He's done many superb things for us, but he's subject to criticism just like any other manager. It happens every year.
