Wasn't weird. He just didn't want to talk to them. He was a surly ******* all day, I know, I saw the camera feeds that don't go public.
How can you say that THIS is not weird?!:
1. He responded to a greeting of "good afternoon" from one reporter by simply staring at him
2. He spoke to the broadcast media for just over three minutes before leaving, ignoring a final question completely.
3. On being asked if he could explain why United were 21 points worse off than last season, with basically the same group of players he said: "Well, I was at Everton so I wasn't 21 points worse off. I was at Everton.
"The improvement in the teams in the Premier League has been big. There have been a lot of improvements from sides in the Premier League and obviously we've not done as well as we did last year.
"I think there are certain different reasons for it, I don't think there's any particular one. I think there's a combination of different things - the change of manager being one of them. But lots of other things as well.
"We're trying to see how our results have not been as good as they have been. They should be, and we will continue to look at that. There's no one person or one thing. There are several different things that we'll look to change or alter, but there's no one thing.
"I think the players are doing great. I think I've got a great group of players. I'm very fortunate I took over the champions and I think the players have been terrific."
Moyes was then asked about his tactics in the 2-2 draw with Fulham, that extended to crossing the ball from wide areas with little variation.
"You need to have a football intelligence, a football brain, to understand first of all," he replied.
"I thought only one team came to win. But you [media] watched it, so it was probably a game for you to write how badly Manchester United had done, rather than what the opposition played like."
The United manager was asked if a different club with different fans might have been put him under more pressure.
"I was given a six-year contract because it was a long-term deal," said Moyes. "It was always going to take time. There is rebuilding going on year after year here and we will continue to try to do that.
"The right clubs pick the right managers and the right managers pick the right clubs. You pick clubs where you know it's right for you."
If this is not rambling of the lowest order I dunno what is.
Particular points I could make:
1. His answer about being at Everton last season in answer to why 21 points difference is, frankly stupid and doesnt help him at all. Instead of say comparing the relevant fixtures in the two time periods (would still have been stupid but not AS stupid as his answer), explained that it takes time for a new manager's methods to take hold, that SAF left him a woefully inadequate squad (not entirely correct but still).
2. He keeps doing it but wtf? Whats the logic behind him pointing out repeatedly that the only real difference between last season and this is, well, Moyes? H
3. He seems/reacts/talks like a bullied 10 yo.
4. So he's got a great bunch of players eh? So why has he repeatedly said that squad is not that great and insinuated there will be big changes in the summer. He seems to be saying one thing one time another thing the next .... Also, by saying the players are great he limits the targets for blame to erm, himself!
5. Everton are actually 3 points better off than they were after 25 matches last season (and will be 6 if they beat C Palace in a very winnable match tonight after selling arguably their best player AND playing much better football than last season.
6. And the wisdom of calling stupid anyone who thought that simply crossing 81 times against a Fulham team with tall cbs with little variation is questionable is ...? Im with ENSTEIN on this who said that the definition of craziness is to keep doing the same thing but expect different results.
