"During the second half Moyes reminded me off Roy Hodgson, just sat on his arse looking like a rabbit in headlights, he was absolutely lost with no idea what as the manager he should have been doing. Usually he’s stood in his area waving his arms about as if he’s actually coaching them."

[Massive Attack]

"I wonder if the same KUMB Moyes loving, know-nothing wankers are still enjoying their Football under the Prehistoric One.... Get that Scottish clown out of our Club!"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"I think the media only love Moyes because he keeps us ""in our place"", unlikely to ever upset the Big 6 apple cart forcing them to rewrite their scripts & platitudes. How very DARE we??? They don't dare go after Newcastle on account that Newcastle's owners have a pretty effective media management process. I also think Sullivan only sticks with Moyes because he's been knocked back by every potential replacement he's tried to find. Wonder why that could be?"

[marty feldman]

I've been saying it for years . And it may upset a few . But honestly as long I've been watching WHUFC . I've long realised as long as we don't threaten the north London 2 . And the phoney threat over SW6 . Theres nothing that our board and managers couldn't get away with . It's no surprise the only west ham board I've seen being attacked was the Icelandics . Way too ambitious for their liking.

"Nothing to lose in the second half, so of course Moyes sets up in the same way - it’s all he knows. There was a moment where we had turned them and Soucek got the ball in space in the middle. He trapped it, turned to our goal and passed it back - easier and better pass was forwards. The players do take some blame, but this must be what Moyes trains into them - the ‘safe’ ball backwards or sideways is the first thing they think of."

"Scholes said "" west ham fans are fickle leaving at half time when losing but next time they win its all Moyes is the best manager ever"" Fair play to the whu fans as i did hear bubbles around the 70min mark. Hopefully an exodus like that will sharpen Sullivan up especially if its affects his bottom line."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"I'm sorry to say this neither surprises me nor has it riled me as much as a 0-6 tonking at home to Arsenal should. However, if I was going in to work in London tomorrow, I'd be ready to admit Moyes is finished."

[1964]

"Moyes AND the players are to blame for that shit show. At least 60% of them were ineffective, others never good enough, the rest played out of position and why is a right back playing left wing when we have a left winger on the bench Unbelievable"

[Pagey]

"That wasn’t a surprise to anyone who’s watched us recently. Dull and weak, yet again. But Moyes did win a European trophy which any half decent Premier Laegue team should win at a canter, so we should be eternally grateful apparently? Time for him to fuck off before it becomes pure hatred. Does anyone still want to question why Rice wanted to leave?"

[Texas Iron]

Gutless…shambolic performance… No excuses for Moyes… Sullivan too…

[HammerFan43]

"lowlife 7:37 Sun Feb 11 ""Sky commentators today - 'I’m surprised that a small section of the West Ham fans are not happy with Moyes'"" LMFAO - Small section? ""Ferdinand 'What do West Ham fans want?'” We want and desperately need a new manager."

[lowlife]

Hilarious that the press and some social media accounts still defend Moyes; Merson “That wasn’t a David Moyes team today” Sky commentators today “I’m surprised that a small section of the West Ham fans are not happy with Moyes” Ferdinand “What do West Ham fans want?” West Ham Central “there is no better alternative to Moyes available at the moment” Unbelievable. Jeez.

"Now will you believe the fans sullivan! Tactics useless, team selection useless, transfer activity useless, ability to turn the game useless not a single youth player picked to play the guy is not up to the job now. Over 50 years of supporting the Hammers but I won't go near the ground whilst moyes is our excuse for a manager. Get him out now and let Noble and/or Steidten run the show until a new manager is appointed. Not only will the current lot under moyes be lucky to finish in the top ten but we have a handful of special players who will not hang around under this management. Get him out NOW!"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"RSVP Arsenal. Why does this not surprise me? It's clearly been coming. Top, top manager is Moyes. Monstah. Winning is what he does. If he's such a winner, why the fuck is he deploying the words and body language of a terminal fucking loser all the time? ""We hope this..."" ""We'll give that a try..."" ""We'll see how it goes..."" Just fuck the fuck off. He's fucked up every decent player brought to the club during his time here and appears to be driven by a desire to ensure we don't stay in Europe. Nailed on he's already claimed Souƒçek as MotM. P.S. It was 0-1 when I first tried to post this ?üòÇÔ?è?üòÇÔ?è?üòÇÔ?è"

"I dont blame the players. If you dont follow to the letter what Moyes wants you dont get in the team. What Moyes wants even when carried out to the letter cant beat most top 10 teams when they are in form. It's that simple. His football doesnt work. I've started to also notice that we seem to gain most of our league points in the 1st half of the season when teams are finding form. Soon as they do, we cant beat them. Arsenal had like 22 shots to about 5 against us last time and were unlucky to lose. Lightning is not going to strike 3 times. We were due a massive beating from this team and Moyes done nothing tactically to address the issues from the 1st game against them. C&B is pointing out that in the last 5yrs we aren't really over achieving because our transfer spend and wage bill is 7th or something. So tbh, the geezer is treading water. You would expect any manager to get these results with the squad he has. I'd rather have Garry O'Neil or that Fulham guy. They seem to make more out of what they have rather than less."

[Helmut Shown]

So let me get this right. We can't play against shit teams as they play a defensive line up and we have no attacking ability to break them down. We can't play against the attacking teams as we can't defend and if we manage to get the ball we punt it up to a short arsed bloke standing in for a centre forward. We are arsehole lucky that we have points on the board as this is relegation form with a fuckwit manager who has no plan B. Our players are too frightened to pass the ball forward in case they trigger tge tosser's wrath

[PastyTime]

"I honestly can’t understand how the manager and coaches can be on board with these experiments that are clearly not working. Johnson on the wing, Bowen up top, ward priest on left. Soucek and Jwp should not be in the same team. We can’t carry both of them."

[Iron Duke]

"I watched about ten minutes at the start, but decided to turn it off and go for a walk. Before I knew it we were 4-0 down. Best decision I made. So I can’t comment on the game. It sounded awful. Even at 6-0 down, they were bringing on a 16-year old while Moyes was bringing on Cresswell. He didn’t change any tactics or formation, and couldn’t motivate the team to show some pride in the second half. The supporters who went today should get a full refund out of the players and Moyes’s wages. I would sack Moyes now and strip Zouma of the captaincy. Disgusting performance."

[Manuel]

"cսnt has to be sacked tonight, he's a DISGRACE to the modern game, the players have now stopped playing for him and rightly so. He cannot still be here tomorrow. Highlight was seeing that cսnt Sullivan JR, fmob."

[J.Riddle]

"Moyes is a cսnt and should've been sacked years ago, he can stick his mickey mouse cup and Sullivan is a bigger cսnt for not sacking him years ago. I will never go over there until Moyes is gone. cսnt was complaining about the training pitch getting his excuses in early cսnt"

[Alfs]

Thought we were unlucky. Deserved at least a point.

[zico]

Lucky Arsenal took the foot off the pedal or reckon a new record PL defeat might have been in the books. As said earlier it's been coming you need some of the ball in football matches. Can't think that anyone who has ever played football manager would have experimented with Johnson as a wide left attacker. The squad was wafer thin prior to the window and it's coming home to roost.

[nychammer]

"hard to see where our next goal is coming from right now let alone point. Going forward we are appalling, we cant cross or pass to any effect, and that's before we start on the defence. Saving grace was Arteta throwing the stiffs on which stemmed the flow of goals."
