    I prefer Match Choice. Far better and gives a much clearer imagine of the games. For example, MOTD will have you thinking Chelsea were doing well, such is the focus and admiration they show. While not perfect, Match Choice gives more highlights, extended to an hour. It also has in depth discussion after every game, unlike MOTD. MOTD is a magazine show.

    Anyway you are dragging this way off topic, which was probably your intention but still..

    I am interested to see what Chelsea fans think. Do they agree with the cheers or would they like to see boo's ringing out now?

    I may have to wait a while for a Chelsea fan thinking about it.

    Yeah I like match choice on sky.

    We seem to have wandered but my original point stands, Jose has brought a lot of success and should be allowed time to turn it around. We all call Chelsea fans plastic but by not booing or cheering they are acting in the right way?

    Yes very much so, although unlike some I agree that it was time for him to go. I would have liked to have seen what he would have done without those owners but that's all if's and but's.

    Yes they are luv. Which has been my point all along. We call them plastics but when the going gets tough, they stand up to be counted. Chelsea fans seem better than ever this year. You can hear them.

    Same with United fans under Moyes. It was mental but while he's here, back him in the ground. Vent on forums, in pubs etc but support the players and team.

    I agree with that to a point but there comes a time where you have to look at if it's the right person in charge and if the majority think no then should they show their frustration?

    Yes blind faith and supporting the team is important, booing a manager or your teams performance should not be done on a whim. I don't think it is with LVG, I think the fans are very unhappy with what they are seeing.

    Both rigid tacticians and both liked a defensive outfit and to break on teams, I get that. Difference being we had the people in place to do the job LVG has spent a lot on players and still doesn't seem to have the players in place to implement what he wants.

    I think it is is. We play worse than under Moyes so these guys have seen worse. Though with the media focus on us and the vast difference in how we are reported (seriously, take a look compared with Chelsea) many tow that line now. Half the stuff they boo for and when they boo makes absolutely no sense. Or booing individual players.

    Do you think bhes had enough time and do you think he should settle for second best? Like Rafa did.

    As in, should he have just bought any striker in the summer instead of going for Muller. Muller's been incredible as it goes so can see why he wasn't easy to obtain.

    Then when the summer comes again and he tries for Muller or someone of that quality, we would have a player who was now obsolete. Causing issues in the dressing room of we couldn't sell.

    I prefer not wasting it, especially after some of the guys in recent years, way beyond Moyes and van Gaal too. I would rather us use our acadamy players for now and continue to track players who will take is to the next level. I think there's a few in the league who have just what we need and a Muller or Griezemann type in the summer would complete the job.

    It's important to get the right players in and this may well be the difference between LVG turning the fans around or having to walk. Big clubs should have plenty of options though if the first choice isn't available there should be 2 or 3 viable options.

    I think we did but were aiming high. Were looking for a cantona type influence. The difference between top 4 and Champions. Muller and Bale were definitely targets.

    Its not easy to buy the best though and we did the next best thing by buying a future superstar whilst others weren't available.

    We've got the youngest squad in the league I think, were challenging in the league and have a very bright future ahead of us. The work done to rectify the disaster has been brilliant. Simple minds struggle with this but that's the reality. Were far better placed than 2 years ago. For now and the foreseeable.

    The problem with youth players is that although they look like a really good prospect when that step up comes it can sometimes be too much. Liverpool fans (including myself) will bang on about prospects all day and to be fair we do use the youth squad but how many are actually good enough?

    You've seen it with Januwanuaz recently, from worldie to on loan within a season, we have had the same happen.

    The rest of your squad is excellent on paper, I've said this before there is quality throughout but also pieces missing and huge injury problems.

    Youth doesn't improve without a chance thou and most have shown quality on the first team. McNair has gone backwards as has Blackett but others are improving. Lingard 22 and most felt had missed his chance. He's inconsistent but he wants it.

    Our squad is excellent though. Its being tested now though.

    What a sad indictment of a fellow supporter. When a rival fan has a better understanding of your club, and speaks more sense about it than you <laugh>

    If you think Moyes was cheered regardless of what he did then you're going to need the help of Team UIR to back that up! They haven't seemed overly keen to be associated with you though. Possibly because it would be embarrassing for them and they don't want to lose credibility!

    Booing at a computer screen is certainly pointless.
