Can go 9th today with a win.
Who they got?
Cordoba at home
Cordoba, bottom club.
Cordoba have Bebe though.
I read somewhere that since he took over, his side have been 7th in the form table. He does love that number.
Clash of the titans today between Bébe and Moyes. I have simpathy for both so it´s difficult to choose who to root for. Hopefully it will be a good match (probably won´t be though, either 0-0 or 1-0 to Moyes boys).
Wasn't sure where to post this. Maybe in the has the EPL regressed thread but here's Moyes's thoughts on the EPL.
Oh, right. Should be picking up a win then, hopefully.
Yeah, he'll make it difficult for them...
El shitico in El clásico day.
I hope he doesn't go to West Ham or Newcastle in the summer.
Would benefit from staying at Sociedad for a few seasons.

Agree with Moyes about the PL this season.
The quality has dropped off since he left, and Spain suddenly improved. Moyes effect.
Cordoba got a man sent off but find themselves 1-0 up now.
Think it was referring to the whole CL discussion we're having as of late and it's pretty bad, yeah.
That's a bit rich coming from him, considering he played a part in making one of the giants of the domestic league a near laughing stock.
Bebe with the assist for Cordoba's goal too.
Not sure if it was him, but Bebe nearly scored a screamer too, hitting the woodwork.
3 red cards for Cordoba in the end, 2 of them were straight reds (6th min and 93rd min), another was a second yellow in the 81st. However I can't see where that player got his first yellow according to flash scores.
He got both yellows in the same minute accoring to an app I use.
Up to ninth anyway, 3 points behind Bilbao!
I considered that. Strange game anyway.
He needs to use Finnbogason more!!
Good on em.
He probably wants to, just hasn't figured out his name yet.
Three wins on the bounce
hehe, then just use the name Alfred
any Spanish reds on here?
Just wondering how Moyes is being received in Spain by the fans/pundits

Good for him, like most i maintain the United job was far too big for him and am pleased hes found his level
Looking forward seeing him replacing Ancelotti at Real. Seriously now he has done well and with some very good highlights such as beating Barcelona and mantaining a clean sheet. Real Sociedad were a right mess before he replaced Arrasate. They are very solid and organized now and that´s obviously Moyes work. Very curious on how he will do in the next year and specially what he will buy to upgrade the team. That will be a real test.
They still after Ings I assume then
Good on him. Hope he continues to be a success at Sociedad, because before him, they had a nightmare with finding the right manager. Give him time, and I think he'll have Sociedad like Everton, in terms of league position (5/6th every year).
Moyes finished 7th with Everton in his first season in charge, despite them flirting with relegation the year before.
He finished 7th with United in his first season in charge, despite them being runaway champions the year before.
It wouldn't surprise me if he finishes 7th this season or next with Sociedad also which would be great for them and fair play to him if he does it. But i think it would confirm the theory that he is a mid-table specialist.

That will be hard with teams like Sevilla, Villareal and Athletic Bilbao. I think if guides Sociedad to 8th or 9th it can be considered a good work.
Will be interesting to see which british/irish players will play for Real Sociedad next season
Why would a Spanish club want to sign English players though? It's unlikely you'd get bang for your buck like you would buying locally. Unless they can sign players out of contract of course, maybe that's what they mean.
