I see from all the recent comments that people are a lot happier now we have beaten the "giants" of Blackburn Rovers. This new manager says all the right stuff, unlike the previous one who was so negative. Under the previous one we had a keeper who booted the ball out of defense and a centre forward who was not allowed in the 6 yard box. All is roses and chocolate now.
I don't wish to be a knocker before a ball is even kicked in anger, but let's see how we do when the real games start. Likewise, I see Manchester United have lost a couple. let's see how they do when the real games start. I suspect they will do ok.
I wish Roberto all the success I can, but I also know all you guys slagging Moyes off and talking up Roberto will be singing off a different Hymn Sheet if we lose a few games.
There is nothing more fickle than football supporters!

I'm sure we will lose games and I'm sure fans will at times be critical of the manager and his tactics. Fans pay their money and have aright to air their views. Your reaction to the win at Blackburn is extremely dismissive, for me it is more about the way we play the game. If we play the game right the results will follow as will the accolades, our reputation and our standing in the game. The REAL games will obviously be more difficult but WE need to take them one at a time. We now have a manager who, unlike the previous post holder, isn't scared of going to Old Trafford so maybe he will install a new confidence along with a new method of play.

Popeye

I think the last 2 seasons we have played our best football in the last 15 years so I would not say moyes played negative football it's more balanced look at the exciting football Newcastle played under keegan they would concede a lot of goals, I am all for playing attacking football but you have to defend this is how I see it Martinez will have us passing more and interchanging attack play and as a result I do think we will score more goals but I do think we will concede more so the ratio difference will be where we finish will it see us turn those draws into wins or losses moyes had 4th best defence in league

I just think you and a few others have been knocking Mr Moyes, when he actually turned the club around. As for him being scared of going to Old Trafford, I think of the hammerings we used to have against top 4 teams. eg 7-1 v Arsenal in his early days and a few stuffings by Utd. Last season no body hammered us. We gave everyone a game. Like you, I don't know how Roberto will do. But I do know that if we get a couple of defeats early on, he will start to lose all these "flowers and chocolates" supporters.

Spot on popeye.

Hiya!, Yep, we played some terrific football at times last season, dare I say it the best since the mid 1980's, but I always felt Moyes would pull the "reigns" on if we started to play too much, I sense Martinez will embrace this and hopefully our boys will flourish, looking forward to seeing Ossie, I can't see Martinez flogging him like a dead horse on the right wing!

Ye supporters are fickle but if you can't appreciate good football then don't bother watching any, poeple are happy that we played well and jelavic looked good. lighten up instead of trying to find a negative before you have any substance

I noticed a big difference yesterday. forward movement without being worried about someone covering you. Bit more adventurous.

I think it's safe to say that Degsypulford was and still is a massive Moyes supporter.

10.) 28 Jul 2013
Yes Degsypulford was a big Moyes supporter and he will also be a big Martinez supporter. whatever the progress we make. The club always moves on. But I do remember dark days very well. As I am sure some other supporters my age do. In my opinion Moyes did a grand job when others were turning us down. (Andy Gray even!). It does annoy me when people knock him. There is a lot of cr*p being banded around about him. I say "good luck Mr Moyes I hope you are very successful. "
I just hope we will be even more successful.
Come on you Blues!

Degsy, completley agreed mate. let's see where its at at the halfway point.

Ok we weren't getting hammered but we were barely drawing and definitely not winning at chelsea, lpool or man utd, i'd rather lose 4nil and have a chance of winning than 1nil I have 1 shot all match we still end up with same points
