David Moyes | West Ham in talks with him for managerial job

Sly said:
Rubbish. The global appeal of the club is. I was born and bred as a Sporting fan, live near the stadium but i never lecture or call Sporting fans who live outside Lisbon as "lesser" fans. I actually enjoy having Sporting fans all over the world. I travel alot and i think it's a credit to the club having fans in Brazil, Angola, China, Poland and Japan. And the club likes it as well. Sporting just brought a brazilian Sporting fan to Lisbon all expenses paid because he loves what our club stands for. He has a webpage where he speaks about his love for Sporting, our history, our ecletism (we are as big as Barcelona in what concerns other sports, handball, hockey, basketball, athletism, futsal etc) and he does a great job for free and gets other people to know us. I consider him equal as fan.

I know you are just a wum and i'm wasting my time with this but i just hate this close mindedness. What next? Brexit is brexit approach here? Only English/mancunian fan are real fans?

You think it's your right to consider anyone a fan equal to you? Get over yourself that's the biggest load of garbage iv ever read on here.

Noone has a right to question anyone's support for their club let alone some moron who thinks they are a bigger fan because of where they were born..So you chose where you were born did you?

I personally can not fathom not supporting a team near to me, never mind in another country.

What I find funny is that if United had done what you wanted, as in stick with Moyes and then eventually hired Giggs, our club would be deep in the shit now. The reason I find it funny is because you act high and mighty, as if you're a better fan than everyone else. Yet ironically by trying to be better than everyone else, you end up not wanting what's best for our club.

Errr why? Don't you think it's a credit to your club to have such a global appeal? People who like what your club stands for? Serious questions mate.
 
I thought the Moyes experiment was brilliant. Turns out you DO need a bit of nous even while managing a top club. None of that "my grandma could have won the title with them" crap.

To be fair Big Sam definitely would have won the CL with us.

Dad, Grandad(never met him) and all other lads in my family were Man United. My kid will be Man United

So the only reason you followed united was because your dad/grandad was a fan? If he was a liverpool or chelsea fan, you would have supported them too with the same passion and gone off on foreign lads.

So your whole moral high ground about match going fans is based on your grandad being a united fan? I mean thats the only reason you are one too.

Yeah of course I would be a Liverpool/Everton fan if my family were from there.

I live in Manc, have done most of my life.

Football for me isn't choosing a team. It's being indoctrinated into their culture. It's not so much of a choice but rather something you are born into. So some of my best mates are from Old Trafford. Some of the best memories I have with my Dad is supporting this team that has been both our lives. My whole ritual is to meet the lads after work and watch the games together.

To be so seperatedfrom the club I love would be weird to me. I couldn't do it. Id rather support a shite side that meant something to my home rather than picking someone.

Yeah. For you. In your opinion. From your viewpoint. Of your mindset. Can't use a few brain cells to realize that different people have different motives for why they support a team. There is this thing called, "more than one way" to do something. Foreigners like United. Get over it. You're not superior to anyone, especially not with your blindness. No wonder nobody likes you here. I may not be from Manchester, but I am friends with real Mancs who are real hardcore supporters, who have season tickets for years, and they all thought Moyes (and LVG) were shit.

To be back on topic. I saw the post-match interview from Moyes for the first time in a long time and he has such an aura of defeat. Still uses a lot of "try" and "hope" in his speech.

Fair enough. I think it's obvious that it's only my opinion. Also at least four people here like me so you're speaking bollocks.

Maybe just maybe the people who hung up banners for him and got behind him know a bit more about how to support a manager than someone in Melbourne.

Well they certainly know more about cringeworthy, undeserved banners.

So you strongly support D.Moyes and probably gave Moyes a standing ovation when he took us from Champions to 7th, in 10 months.
You also support LVG who gave us the most boring brand of football ever seen at OT.
But you don't support Jose, who is the only guy in the same class as SAF and most likely to succeed in taking us back to the top?
No doubt, if you could make the decisions, you'd wait for Moyes to get sacked from Sunderland (which he will) and re-hire him for MUFC.

I am highly suspicious that you may in fact be a LFC or MCFC supporter. ;)
 
He is shit, negative as feck, and signs shit players half of whom he excluded from his own first team.

He appears to believe he is doing us a favour

this is the annoying thing. its not his doing, and he still thinks he's that Everton manager

So why the support for Moyes? He represented a break from what I thought United represented. He was made for Everton, and he would have been great at pre-Abu Dhabi City. But at the swaggering club of Best, Eric, Fergie, even Big Ron? Feck no, the man stank of mediocrity even before he arrived.
 
I hope he stays. The captain must go down with h ship. He must have that stain on his CV.
 
For months, I did not realise Twigg was now Wum. Explains everything.

Not sure. He just needs to take his friends out for dinner & they would again find him another victim.

Ok let me ask you something.

I'm not sure i could live in England and live any further from Manchester if i tried. I live at the bottom of Dorset. My dad was a league match book holder in the 70s and early 80s and he would travel from Dorchester home and away every single game, so when i was born and fell in love with the game instantly - seriously, as a child from about 1 year old onwards all i cared about was football, my earliest memories all revolve around football and i couldn't even read until i was 6 and in order to get me to learn my teacher pulled a football book out.

So with my dad being such a dedicated supporter and me being his only son, United weren't a choice for me. The passion i feel for the club is as strong now as it always was. I travel to matches but not as often as i used to purely because i am an adult now with responsibilities and financially i can't afford it. But does the fact that I am not from Manchester (i do have some loose family connections but we're talking very loose) make me less of a United fan then yourself?

Don't even bother with him. I'm all the way from Toronto and I still try my best to watch every single game now. Not sure how that makes me less of a fan.
