He is currently the manager of Everton F.C.. He has twice been named, in 2003 and 2005, as the 'League Managers' Association manager of the year', and is one of the younger defended his team against charges that they had bullied bul·ly 1 n. pl. bul·lies 1.

Credit Everton because they battled very hard and made a physical contest of it." But Moyes countered: "I didn't think we were that over-physical today, but we did get around Arsenal. "I would love to be able to say 'yes, we'll have a good pure football game, get the ball down and see who outdoes each other'. But, as we know, we don't have that level and we have to try and bridge the gap between their ability and ours. "And our work, our spirit and competitiveness helped bridge that gap, and today I thought we deserved our victory." Moyes did agree with Wenger over how crucial the toss was as the Blues asked Arsenal to defend with a bright, low sun shining in their faces. "I have to say the sun played a really big part today. The toss was important," explained Moyes. "When we warmed up you couldn't see at all and we knew that if we got the ball over we could unsettle them because you just don't know where people are in the glare of the sun and sometimes you don't know where the ball is. "The sun played a part, in the first half, especially." CAPTION(S): FANS' ACCLAIM: Striker James Beattie James Beattie may refer to:
