da premier bet: David Moyes has not reacted well to Jeremain Len’s comments about Sunderland, slamming the Dutch international as a ‘disgrace’ in quotes published by The Guardian.
What’s the word?
da lvbet: Jeremain Lens, still owned by Sunderland, is on-loan at Fenerbache this season and reportedly said he hoped his parent side would be relegated from the Premier League this season- as he feels it would help him seal a permanent switch to Turkey.

Moyes sanctioned Lens’ move to the continent back in August and is understandably disgusted by the player’s comments, as he reacted angrily in his pre-match press conference for the weekend’s clash with Stoke City.
What was said?
“It’s disgracefully disrespectful to the club which holds his registration. You hate to think of anyone connected to this club saying that.”
“A lot of team-mates here who he played with are fighting every week with a small squad to try to keep us in the Premier League. It’s a disgrace to say that about your parent club.”
“Maybe when he left people thought: ‘What are you doing getting rid of him?’ But I don’t know if anyone would want him back at the club now. I think it would be very hard for that to happen.”
Will he ever be back?
It’s unlikely. For one, Lens was never really a success in the Premier League after Dick Advocaat left the Stadium of Light and these comments mean he’s probably not going to be welcomed back to Wearside with open arms.
