"Same here comma, I stayed till the end and the only positive thing about today was those of us who were left when their 5th went in were singing just to show we still cared, not sure there's much point sacking Moyes now but the owners should certainly forget any ideas of renewing his contract and start serious negotiations with his replacement immediately so they have all summer to get to know the players and decide who to ship out and identify new signings early on."

[chevy chase]

I’m trying to think of the last time we got walloped like that. Blackburn away 7-1. Think one of ours got an own goal on his debut?

[zico]

What's really frightening is bar Paqueta that was Moyes starting 11.

[El Scorchio]

northbankboy68 12:05 Got to say there’s very little chance I’ll ever want to watch it!

[northbankboy68]

Moyes disappeared from the touchline 10 mins before half time and was absent virtually the entire 2nd half. Tells me he's lost the dressing room and knows his contract renewal is going nowhere. Thank goodness we're not in the relegation dog fight.

[Sydney_Iron]

"Well, that was a pile of shit wasn't it. Not much else to say really."

[jfk]

Moyes is making a class player like kudus look ordinary.the first opportunity he’ll be off and who could blame him??

[northbankboy68]

We'll be first on MORD tonight for once!

[northbankboy68]

.. .and the best goal I've ever seen Rice score!

[El Scorchio]

Don’t know what you’re moaning about. You got to witness a six goal thriller. Surely more than worth the hassle….

[northbankboy68]

...and get this. I caught the 08.26 from Birmingam and got as far as Coventry where we halted for 30 mins due to a landslip near the line that had to be assessed. We were then informed that we would be reversing north for 45 mins beyond Brum to Stafgord when the train would then head south to Euston via another line. Eta for Eusyon would be given at Stafford On reaching Stafford we were all told to leave the train and wait for the already full 11.01. I arrived Euston just before 1pm and made it to the ground 5 mins before ko. This country is fucked and a lot of posters on here voted for the bastards that have done it. Good fucking luck to em I say.

[zico]

"Anyone got any idea what is wrong with Zouma ,apart from the fact that he can't run or move of course? He seriously looks like someone who has arthritic hips although those court jester socks don't help! Kudus, Alvarez, JWP and Bowen all just looked pissed off. Can just imagine them looking at each other as Moyes announces pre match that Ben Johnson is left winger and Soucek is marking near post at corners."

[northbankboy68]

"I've had it with Moyes. I cannot see how on earth anyone would have selected Zouma as captain for that game. Not is fault. He can barely walk, let alone run. 2 of their first 3 goals were set pieces. All his distribution was anywhere. Zouma is finished with football and Moyes picked him. Unbelievable. I was shouting for him to be subbed when they went off at half time and he was. But why did Moyes pick him? Unfathomable and shocking. Mavrapanos was far better but by then the game was lost. He has to go. He spent hardly any time in the coaching area. Clueless. It is the end for Moyes, surely."

[Nick QQQ]

"Someone please tell me how you can pick Soucek and Ward-Prowse next to each other? It’s like Nogaard and Fletcher, just one of the whips in the odd good corner."

[solidbond]

"Alvarez was hooked cos he was at fault for the goals,like zouma was who hadn’t been booked ."

"For my sins I hung on there. This game brought back memories of one of our early games at the OS where Alexis Sanchez lead them to a 5-1 victory if my memory serves me correctly. Our performance was abject at best and sad to say the gooners were well worth their victory. Our set piece defending was almost non existent and as controversially managed as we are it was upsetting to see the players looking more or less unmotivated. My belief, since the beginning of this season, is that is probably the last for Moyes. After today I am convinced that it’s signed,sealed an settled he’ll be gone in the summer."

[El Scorchio]

"Only smart thing Moyes did today was hook Alvarez in case he got a second yellow. Alvarez was probably the best of our midfielders but it would have been beyond stupid to leave him on, on a yellow at 0-4. It was a bit of a reckless challenge and deserved a card. On that I’ve not watched it back but wa Areola fouled for the first goal or just piss weak in the air as usual? I saw him on his arse after the ball went in and then having a moan at the ref afterwards. He is pretty shocking with crosses."

[solidbond]

"Alvarez was booked for a Sunday league challenge no need to dive in ,put the brakes on stay on your fucking feet and close his space down."

[nychammer]

"i recall going to a game in the 2003 relegation season where Leeds were 4 nil up at UP at Half Time. We came out second half, showed some guts and put 3 past them. We still lost but at least there was some spirit in the side. And everyone stayed to the end. This is what was lacking today, and the sheer inability of Moyes to change tactics. it felt like we had no other outlet other than hope we could defend and keep it to 4-0. Arsenal's subs late in the second half were the most tactically telling in that they prevented the damage from being worse than it already was."

[Anders]

The players have let the fans down. Moyes has let the fans down. Moyes back room team have let the fans down. They all need a massive kick up the arse.

[british is best]

Moyes is a cսnt . No question but its astonishing the leeway Sullivan gets . The only reason Moyes is still in a job is purely down to him .

[bell]

"If I wanted advice from Scholes and Ferdinand, it would be for eating my daughters toe nails, and cheating on my dying missus. Wankers."

[bell]

"The highlight for me, after travelling, spending money etc, was the Cresswell for Emerson sub. Next level stuff."

[Anders]

Looking forward to the AFCON final watching players who want to play for the shirt.
