I would be interested to hear from the match goers as to what reception they will give Moyes next week? Will they continue to applaud him?

Red Man, I don't think the match going fans will ever stop applauding Moyes, however bad the performances are.

Fergie made it a question of loyalty at the end of last season and fans feel that if they don't support Moyes they won't be seen as real supporters. Obviously a lot of fans aren't happy with what they are seeing on the pitch, but so long as supporting Moyes is tied to loyalty, people will be too scared to be seen to be publicly unsupportive. Also there is the smug moralism of some fans who want to prove that we are different than the likes of Chelsea. And, finally, I think a lot of younger fans are desperate to prove that they aren't glory hunters and think if they continue to back the losing horse they will prove themselves to be real supporters.

I don't think fans should ever boo Moyes, but supporters shouldn't be cheering and singing the name of a man who has dragged us to midtable obscurity. It's funny that the people who claim that real supporters all back Moyes are the same ones who want to get about 7 first team players out of the club because they aren't "United standard". Well Moyes doesn't look anything like United standard either. If he was a player he'd be playing with the reserves or loaned out to the championship, but because he's manager he deserves two years before we are 'allowed' to judge him.

Don't agree with booing anyone that includes players even if they are crap. I won't be singing his name either. I didn't really want Moyes but I do think he has been left some poor players at the back and in midfield which he can obviously see hence him trying to buy in that dept.

I'm with you on that. There is no room. For booing the manager. I think it is clear he is having a bad time, so booing him is not going to improve matters.
However, to start singing his name when he has achieved nothing apart from making us a mediocre team is over the top.
His words that he will be replacing existing players with better ones is, quite frankly, idiotic in the extreme and shows a lack of judgement that is quite frightening.

Devil dust - regarding phil jones I'm only referring to him as right back not centre back where he should always play
