Almost made me miss though.
Where were you, when you heard the breaking news that Moyes has been sacked?
- Thread starter The Azzurri
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I gather you're from the States man?
Your collection of mates is pretty cool, good to have different sporting interests. Thats the thing about Ireland though - most blokes are into all sports & my mates are die-hard about it, so its great that we can just pick a sport, watch it or talk about it for hours.
Irish women on the other hand, when they meet up with their friends they just talk gossip & about their other-halfs. Irish blokes rarely even talk about theirs - its like we're single & she doesnt exist for that time. Pure bliss & escapism
I was sitting at home, with sky sports open waiting for the news. It felt like muppet season had started early.
Can´t remember I went into a oblivion of happiness!
I was home on the computer at war with F5 key since the news broke previous day.
Did your mate tell ya that his results came back negative & that you were in the clear?Out in Glendalough with family. My mate called me and I felt amazing. It also helped that the sun was shining.
Mid-Asphyxiation wank then?!
My mate who works at TalkSport told me over a day before it happened that he'd been sacked...except of course the club apparrntly hadn't decided to sack him yet at that point.
Considering Talksport aren't exactly the MI5 of journalism I think Moyes and Woodward (allegedly) must have been the only two people at the club not to know about it by this point.

I was at the breakfast table browsing the caf when I saw the new thread. I almost spilled my tea.
Yes. Yes I did. Bank Hols are when you are pressured into doing DIY shit. I was in an alcoholic coma for a bit but this news put such a smile on my face I leapt into immediate action. If there was something that needed doing I only needed to be asked that day. I'd have done anything for anyone I was that happy.You probably had the "Footloose" soundtrack playin in the background too eh?
So, you celebrated his departure by doing shit-loads of housework & a bitta DIY - even though you were hung over as hell?
Why did you stop there man. You should have baked a cake or some scones while you were at. Maybe a bitta celebratory "Moyes' Gone" scarf knitting
A real man gets pissed up at a time like that man. I dread to think what you did when we won the Treble. Probably dressed up as a Scout & went Bob-Jobbing from the sound of it
was walking to my new job, and my phone started going crazy from my mates messages. I started the day with a smile.
Exploding violin apparently.
At this thread, you'd think we'd won the champions league in the dying moments again.(Certainly feels like it)
I set myself up for that one.Did your mate tell ya that his results came back negative & that you were in the clear?
I was just about to leave home for the office
I was first aware of the speculation while checking the HT Championship scores on Monday afternoon at the Amex (bloody Blackpool)

I was in bed. The wife shouted upstairs "THAT USELESS LUMP HAS GONE". I was n't sure what she was talking about at first.
I was in bed, but couldn't sleep the whole night as I refreshed the BBC Football page every hour and was just scared not to read "United say Moyes has their full support". Needless to say when I at the same time was on the Caf and just happy to see the thread title changed to "Confirmed: Moyes sacked".
Did you talk over the fench to your neighbour - who's face you've never seen too?
I would have assumed she meant her Clitoris too man..
You certainly did mucker & fair play to yaI set myself up for that one.
I was in bed watching SSN about to get up to go take my car for an MOT. Ran out my room jumping up and down when I heard.
He said 'moooyes', damn autocorrect.
I was at work. I spent the rest of the day perusing articles about it and reading rumours and being generally useless.
It felt good, but that good???
Was just arriving into work when I saw it on my phone...was in work with 4 Liverpool fans and an Arsenal fan...not the best day at work, but the announcement great none the less
Driving to work, heard it on the radio.
I'd just woken up and was in bed ill.
Everyone remembers where they were when that Oswald Baily shot KFC
I'm across the pond, so I read the reports of it all day prior, and went to bed feeling like it was christmas. Sure enough, Santa Glazer delivered in the morning when I woke up to my Liverpool supporting mate asking me about it and saying he saw it was official.
Was waiting for the bus so jumped onto SkySports news on my phone to see if there was any news on Moyes and BAM I jumped up in celebrating and had everyone looking at me like I'm some psycho...
Knew something was up when the stories came out the night before. In the morning the news said Moyes had went to work earlier that morning about half 4/5, still had a feeling. Didn't find out till I got to work and my boss got a text and told me
Heard the stories the night before, went to sleep. Woke up and had a massive lie in and looked on my phone to see the frenzy that Moyes had been sacked.
Jumped right out of my bed to write about it on the internet like a madman.

Nothin special just at work. The day before was more interesting when we found out that there was a strong possibility he was going to be sacked. I think it threw a lot of people including myself who thought wed be stuck with him till at least December.
When that news broke the caf became a madhouse pit of excitement anticipating...waiting n wanting for it to be true. (Thank bleedin hell it was)

I was whacking my chinese paper doll with a Moyes mugshot pic stapled on the head, knocking and cursing him with a wooden clog when the CNN behind me breaks the news of his imminent sacking.
Enough to say, that scared the shit out of me.
PS: Who am I going to Chinese Voodoo next?
