moving this from the Manchester United thread (where it is not at all relevant)
Lol. Do you actually know why he did it? Or are you just spouting a whole lot of nonsense?
because he is a cunt of a manager?
Stating the obvious.
Thing is he got it spot on this time. Two huge matches coming up for West Ham, one being a cup semi. As if a 3rd round cup match is as important. Face it, the FA Cup is shit now anyway. No one really gives a fuck.
But yeah, he should have put out his absolute best eleven then rolled over for the next two matches.
his priority is the league (let's be honest, the league cup was fucked as soon as we got Man City over 2 legs). So far, being focused on the league has seen us in 2nd bottom, with one win in about the last 9 games (not sure of the facts, but it is pretty fucking terrible).
Getting fucked 5-0 in the cup by lower league opposition is not acceptable, I don't give a fuck what your priorities are.
And why the fuck does not getting humiliated in the cup mean that we have to roll over in our next 2 games?
