Poor David Moyes. Most Manchester United fans have his back, but his seat is getting warm. After the Red Devils 3-1 loss at Stamford Bridge today, his seat is now even warmer. And then there was the whole “the internet incorrectly thinks your daughter Lauren Moyes is sleeping with Wilfried Zaha, the winger that you’re currently benching” thing. And now this.
Chelsea FC fans antagonized Manchester United Manger David Moyes by singing, “David Moyes, David Moyes we want you to staaaaaaay” on Sunday. I’m trying to locate the audio still.
More pictures of Lauren Moyes, and here’s more info on the two Twitter parody accounts of her.
And of course, all the internet’s lashing out at her father too.
David Moyes is truly off to a very rough start as United Boss. Especially when you consider that the defending Premier League champions returned so much talent from the iconic teams of Sir Alex Ferguson. All David Moyes has to do is maintain, not rebuild. Instead United remain in seventh place, 14 points off the pace of first-place Arsenal. They’re six points off the pace of the all important #4 slot. Missing out on Champions League could set off a downward spiral as it would make Old Trafford a less attractive destination for the top players in the world.
And it’s why #MoyesOut has become a clever hashtag on Twitter and the NBC Sports Network cameras did catch David Moyes turning around once and saying something back to the hostile Chelsea fans
