He's thrilled with the team's newfound spirit, with late goals and wins becoming the norm. “It's Moyesy time now, isn't it?” he grins, reminiscing about the old days of “Fergie time.”

Moyes credits the bench players for turning things around. “Different players at different times have really helped us,” he says. “There's a core group of 14-15 players who are capable, and a few more who can join in and be part of the fun.”

He's particularly impressed with the team's commitment to keep going until the end. “We've not been out of any games, we've nearly been in with that chance of an equaliser or a late winner,” he says. “It's not something we're doing, it's the players and their commitment.”
