★ 29th Manchester City (h). 1-4. Cresswell.

David Moyes has the team training WITHOUT the ball in the run up to this game, it showed as they looked like they had excepted defeat before the game had even kicked-off. For a 10 minute spell at the end of the first half they had a go, scored and should have had a penalty. The half time team talk from the gutless Moyes inspired a second half performance that can only be described as insipid!

MAY 2018

With that win and other results going our way... we are now safe from relegation for another year!
