    Don't think that means a lot. You, Stan and Treble like to bring up your pals but what does it really mean? That you and your pals think the same.

    Its hardly surprising nor is it representative.

    Out of interest, did you not pick up the sound of boos on your Internet stream? If you did I assume that you give no consideration to the views of match going fans if they differ to the views of you and your fanpals.

    The whole crowd isn't representitive?

    All those extremely loud audible groans just a figment of my imagination?

    Ok, I guess all the support was very clearly heard on your Internet stream, sorry.

    I think history shows he's stubborn. Which is different to bravery or cowardice. The cowardice accusation is down to formations, playing style and general approach to games including substitutions. Do you not think it's depressing that his only plan B is to stick Fellaini up top and lump balls up to him? It's just one more reson to suggest that our footballing style - whether cumbersome, plodding football - or long ball punts to mophead, are down to him.

    Unless you're suggesting that when he puts Fellaini on, he wants him to take on 5 players and through his wizardry round the keeper and score, but somehow Fellaini is not reading the script? <whistle>

    Very unlikely but you don't know. We were hardly being run well at the time. A clueless manager and Woodward completely out of his depth at the time. God knows what was included but Rooney's been made captain of club and country since and played almost every game.

    He certainly holds some significant power though.

    Booing fans are idiots. What does it achieve exactly? Nothing.

    There is a significant proportion who are resigned to seeing the funny side in our football. I had a whole tier around me singing "Lets go round again" which was funny.

    Quite a few also shouted to the ref to book one of ours for time wasting <laugh>

    Who said anything about what it achieves. It simply highights that plenty of match going fans have an equally low opinion of our football and our manager

    I don't agree with booing in general. In extreme circumstances it lets the board and manager know that enough is enough. People pay a lot of money to go and watch football. They're entitled to express dissatisfaction when what they're seeing on the pitch is teeth grindingly dull.

    Are they also idiots for chanting "attack"?

    No chief, just no. Some are booing and those people are morons. What does it achieve?

    Its a minority quite clearly. There's also a huge section singing van Gaals red army in every game. So the fan base is split between those with ADHD, those getting frustrated and those with patience.

    But you said it was only me and Stan? Now it's split.

    All I can go on, is my experience while there. I don't hear too many singing Van Gaal's red army tbh. Weren't there quite a few singing about Moyes as well by the way???
