Manchester United supporters have been loyal and stoic this season, but this derby disaster was the final straw for some fans and understandably so. Some abused Sir Alex Ferguson in the directors� box for his choice of Moyes as his successor, others were restrained by stewards as they verbally insulted Moyes himself. Judging by these scenes, a full-scale revolt is just around the corner should results continue to nosedive. At the end of the game, the sorry picture was completed by a line of stewards protecting �The Chosen One� banner depicting Moyes at the Stretford End in case United supporters chose to tear it down.
