Moyes: ‘Have a drink get right behind the team’

backroomteamManager David Moyes wants the Irons fans to have a drink or two and back the team tonight (Fri).

He claims to have been “shocked” by hostile chanting from their supporters in the 2-0 defeat at Watford in his opening game.

And ahead of his first home game in charge he said: “I have come in and I don’t know the politics. I was shocked by it when I heard it. If we can do well on the pitch, then hopefully the supporters can concentrate on getting right behind the team.

“Friday night football is quite good. People come to the game looking forward to the weekend. They may have a couple of drinks on the way in and look forward to a few drinks on their way home.

“If I’m in that mood, I’m there to support the team and be up for the side. I know the standards we have to set for the team. We want to try to improve that.

“I hope they give us a little bit of time but we need to get a result at home as soon as we can.

“We want everybody to be together, be united and help each other along. I want them to be behind us, I want them to give the team every chance of winning.”

  1. PR machine is getting boring now ? He didn’t know the politics ?? Stop deflecting the issue and tell the players to man up and play from the heart and for the shirt and the supporters , we constantly turn up to support our team and we will criticize when and where appropriate , its not the supporters fault were in this mess , its the ex manager , the board , and the players so get on with it or get it in the neck ! There will be a full house there tonight ! Again ! So enough of the get behind the team ! We are , always , were west ham ffs 😎

  2. I definitely get more confidence when I look at this coaching / management team than I did looking at the Bilic version.
    All they need to do is ignore advice from supporters on what system to play, and what style to play, ( which I’m sure they will ) and get on with the job of turning round our season and our club.
    I am confident they are all top professionals and so will do the job well.

  3. I’d like David Moyes to succeed but when I look at this Squad I can’t help but think he’s really got his work cut out. I can’t remember so much negativity towards the Club.

    I was listening to Ex’s podcast last night – talk about depressing!

  4. difficult to have a drink when the place only opens 90 mins before kick off

    • head over to fish island lots of decent places over there, the ribman in the Truman brewery on Stour road is alright, beers are really good but you do have to pay a membership fee now £10 I think but you can make it a regular stop off, they are opening at 5

  5. Were not blessed with local boozers that’s for sure , were not welcome in some so grab some tinnies and freeze you’re nutts off 😂
