Liverpool fan here, not to gloat. Though I am a Liverpool fan I am also a football fan. You lot need to calm down a bit and do what you do best. Support whoever is in the shirt. Players come and go, as do managers but the shirt is what counts. Did everyone expect a smooth transition after Fergie went? We have been through what you are going through now and you should learn from our mistakes. Accept that this year is going to be crap and look forward and support. Any new players who are thinking of coming to your place would expect you to support your team always. Give the Manager time to build his own team and if any of the prima donnas don't like the way a manager wants them to play, get rid. Just remember who you are, you don't support players, you support the shirt. A lot of you will only have known success, just as I did way back but you will not achieve anything by in fighting. Accept that the club need you now, more than when you were very successful. Some of the older fans will remember the dark days and when you haved lived through them, the success becomes even sweeter. I am actually enjoying the way that we are doing things now. Seriously though, support the shirt whatever happens. If it doesn't work out with the present manager then keep supporting. I think, given enough time that Moyes will come good for you. It may take 2 or 3 years but you have to accept that. Constant changing will not help. Fergie asked you to give him your support just as some of you older ones gave Fergie your support. Hope it turns around for you apart from when you play us. What is that saying? Oh yes, united we stand, divided we fall.

Gudonya Robbie.
It is true that we should be supporting the club and the way I see it, it is the hierarchy in the order of Club=>Manager=>Player. This should make it very clear that NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB. And that's what Fergie stands for.
All that said, I still am hopeful that MU will take this time to consolidate their strategy and look forward to next season and take the remaining of this season to filter out the "non fitting".
Everyone deserves a chance just like DM is giving to the players (this season). We will then gauge DM next season after he has refine the team. I think that is only fair.

All very good coming on here telling us to be loyal, yet I would be interested in the assessment of Liverpools treatment of Roy Hodgson who they gave less time than we have given Moyes. I have said before Scousers I know want Moyes to stay and openly say it suits them the longer he does.
I am one of the older fans who stood by SAF but he had a winning CV, Moyes is clearly out of his depth and does not merit that loyalty

Amazing how every other manger and group of fans says we need to give Moyes time and support him. However, we all know that privately they are praying that we never fire Moyes. I acted the same way when Liverpool hired Kenny back and when Chelsea hired AVB.

You sack Moyes then. Who will you get? It will end up manager after manager plus their own back room staff, all costing a lot of money to sack. No stability, changing players to suit the particular manager. Dodgy route to go down. Fergie waited years to start winning and I remember fans wanted him out then. Patience and support. No skin off my nose, like I said, I am also a football fan

Fair play to ya Robbie mate, thanks for the comments, appreciated bud

Robbie, I know your game. Leave Moyes at united for another five years, win nothing, become laughing stock, all Liverpool fans in heaven. We know how u feel, as we've wished the same for Liverpool when beitez. Hodgeson and co were your managers.
Sadly, Rodgers seems to have turned it round for you.

No midfield
You don't know my game as you put it. Football fans are the same the world over. Some are sensible and some are blind. I used to watch Bury in the 60s, I was at the charity shield in the scoreboard end (open) when pat Jennings scored over stepney. I was in the Stratford end against I also used to watch Bolton on a few occasions in the late 60s. It was in 1971 when I first went to watch Liverpool and I was hooked. Travelled all over Europe and the uk . As I said, a football fan.

Oh, and by the way, George Best is the best player I have seen live. I remember him getting bombarded with oranges because he had done an advert on the telly for Jaffa oranges. Funny how I can remember things like that and forget things from last week. Suppose I am getting old.

Against Estudiantes in the world club championship, 1968 I think

Nice one, Robbie. People forget amongst all the over-hyped tribalism, that just because you support a particular team, doesn't mean you can't appreciate other players or clubs.

I always want to see strong Utd and Liverpool teams competing against each other. We need each other more than we care to think.

But maybe we're just getting old, mate.
