Cool. Despite his weaknesses he seems a good guy.

Glad they left early. The would be the ones booing. They should also not go back.

Never left early but wouldn't criticize anyone who did.

Freedom of choice, like.

No one's arguing they should be forced to stay

But we also have the freedom to think they're tits for doing so.

At least they made the effort to actually go to the match. Thousands didn't.

Arsed?

If someone wants to leave early who really cares?!

It's pretty annoying when you have to stand up to let people past.

Also it loops terrible when people are streaming when the players are trying to salvage the game on the pitch.

I stopped posting and left my computer 5 minutes early last night.

Bad fan I know.

Never left early regardless of the score. It's fine if you literally have to leave to catch a train or something but hoards of people leaving early only makes us look bad.

Can't really argue with that though. It's a display of displeasure. I remember the streams of Newcastle fans leaving at half-time 0-4 down to Arsenal only for them to come back and draw 4-4. But you can't blame them for leaving, expressing their disgust at the performance in the most explicit way possible.

Perhaps the droves leaving shamed the Newcastle manager and players into turning the performance around?

Don't do it often, as I learnt a painful lesson when I left with my lad when United were strolling at 3-1 up at Goodison with 3 minutes left the other year........

Left 10 minutes from the end at Hull last week though.

Lot of people left early. I stayed, cheered the goal, came out the ground and it was easy getting away from the ground

Only 23k there last night though mate, well down on the average matchday attendance.

I know. Just happy I got home so fast.

0-4 is different to 0-1. Plus you could tell the players and the manager where trying to change the tactics and the performance was good.

Never done it. Never will.

Just don't know what you'll miss.

Very true mate

When we were 4-0 to Bolton who knows what might have happened

It was a monday night and school is back in. Getting the little uns home to bed to keep 'her indoors' happy is no master crime. If there were nearby decent train infrastructure or a bus service capable of taking money from needy travellers then some of the others I couldn't forgive, but a wet monday night in early January...
