That's it. I've had enough of this nonsense.
I choose to be anonymous! I was one of the supporters who wanted to stand by Moyes. I wanted to give him time after the multiple humiliating defeats at Old Trafford. I wanted to say that we were unlucky to get beat 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. The defeat to Sunderland was a result of nerves and some horrible penalties, totally the player's fault, I wanted to say.
I wanted to blame Kagawa for not showing up this season, Cleverley to squander the promise he once showed, Fellaini for regressing so far, Giggs for getting older still, Valencia for going from one-footed to no-footed and Ashley Young for being Ashley Young.
But as Patrice Evra made Joel Campbell, who hasn't made a single appearance for Arsenal, look like Pele and Ronaldinho's love-child as he blasted in their second, I finally gave up. That was the straw that broke this camel's back.
It's not that we lose. It's not that our manager and his staff are tactical dinosaurs. It's not even Tom Cleverley. It's the total loss of any fight we had in Fergie's era. We plumbed lows in his era, suffered wretched defeats, but we fought most of the way (apart from the Barca finals).
Last night, we had Chris Smalling slipping around on the turf, misplacing every other pass and encapsulating the entire squad's total lack of anything resembling confidence. Apart from Januzaj, Van Persie (when he's bothered) and Vidic, who in this squad shows any gumption?
This time last year, people were talking about record points totals and heroics at the Bernabeu. This year, our manager is aiming for fourth place. Every time the pressure is on Manchester United, our players wilt. We don't just lose, we crumble.
I expected us to regress. I did not expect us to become David Moyes' Everton.
