The booing won't affect him since Davidson is a millionaire so he can get his dinner from Waitrose and he probably has Netflix AND Amazon Prime to choose a movie tonight

So you see no connection between toxicity online and real life? And don't you think it's a little bit hypocritical to get on a high horse about what happened to Sanchez and then go on to shit talk players? Kind of pathetic imo.
I don't think thinking a football player would be a bad signing for us, before we actually signed him, is quite the same as actively upsetting someone to their face... so no.

Anyway, off topic, so...

I know this is slightly off topic but generally the Levy Out chants start in the East Lower far right hand side as you look at it. The South doesn’t usually follow too much but did yesterday a little more.

It is not a new fanbase either, i have seen some posts blaming tourists which is nonsense.

This fanbase has historical form for this behaviour, just ask Gus Poyet and Hossam Ghaly (ridiculed for having a bad game but at least he had the guts to throw the shirt on the floor). We were shit then and there certainly werent any tourist fans during those days.

It seems the club has had too many cockerals attending for far too long and maybe this is one of many reasons we have not had the luck to get over the line as a lot of these fans dont deserve any success.
I was at the Ghaly game and he only got booed when he threw his shirt.
He was frustrating that game but didn't get booed because of his performance, only for pulling his shirt off and throwing it to the floor.

The thing with Levy building the stadium to put more people in - he’s only seeing £ signs. What he seems to have failed to realise is that there are then more people with voices, and if he doesn’t get the football side right on the pitch, there are more voices to shout their criticism. I think the booing of Sanchez partly comes down to the general frustration that in the team/managers/transfers have all been made by terrible money saving decisions. I’m not a fan of Sanchez, but what happened yesterday is awful for the guy. But Levy signed him, Levy hasn’t sold him. Levy got in the wrong managers with the wrong ideas. I’m not saying it’s all Levy’s fault, because Sanchez’s performances have been pretty bad for quite a while now, but it’s a build up of a lot of things. From top to bottom, this club needs a complete shakeup.

I can only assume by your comments that you were not at the match. Whist I agree with your absolutely embarrassing and sad statement the booing of Sanchez was not from the vocal majority of fans. As I have posted previously the booing was subtle and mixed in with the moans and groans. I am in the south stand lower and it did not come from the south stand as far as I could tell and I wasn’t the only one on her to think that. It came from a relatively small number of sporadic groups elsewhere in the stadium. As disgusting as it was it was not the majority of the vocal support.
Correct, I wasn’t., thankfully. Totally submit to your first hand account, and that is somewhat pleasing. However, I did say vocal majority and was more talking to the cheers as he was substituted (should have been clearer). Maybe wrong phrasing, but I meant it’s what we heard. It’s what the players heard, it’s what the tv audience heard and it’s what everyone will now talk about, so it gets even louder after the fact.. When he got substituted, it honestly sounded like the whole stadium was cheering. A lot of the time reality matters little and perception rules.

Ndombele got booed when he literally snailed it off the pitch in an FA cup game I was at. Can’t remember who we were playing.

Fans are idiots for booing him today, but do I feel sorry for Sanchez?

No chance I do, he must know he’s not at the level we need but yet again he’s another one of the core that are never in no rush to leave the club.

I’m not even angry with the fans that much, as it was going to happen it all again comes down to poor management and Levy.

If Sanchez played for Chelsea they’d just write off the money and sell him on for 15/20 million knowing he’s not good enough, however us we don’t we leave him here and pray for a miracle in the mean time we even hand out contract extensions as soon as they string 2/4 good games together to protect their value……and that says it all about this club every other big club has players we have “Assets” because we aren’t a football club we are a business that is here to earn revenue and avoid losses we are run like you’re standard property management group.
This BULLSHIT ABOUT NOT AT THE LEVEL WE NEED, WALOB

He came in last year and was instrumental in us piping Arsenal to 4th

He isn't suited to us right now and shouldn't be in our team but to suggest he isnt at our level, lol

Lindeloff and Maguire are starting for Man Utd, they are a level above us. Dan Burn was several levels below us and in a Newcastle team has performed a level above us lol.

This level bullshit is annoying as we don't have a team that suits our system or vice versa but to suggest they are beneath us when this is a guy who is 4/5 choice CB, do me a favour

A manager shouldn't be playing a CB that doesn't suit his style or should change the system to bloody suit it FFS!

Completely different situation. That was recognising a lazy player who seemingly didn't care. Judging by his reaction after coming off Sanchez definitely cares. People were booing Sanchez when he got on the ball. It was awful to watch and listen to.

I remember the abuse Dean Richards got and the effect it had on him, the whole situation was tragic. If nothing else, can people refrain from booing for that reason alone?

Extremely difficult to come into a struggling side when you haven't played much at all and aren't performing well either. I played the sport my whole life and know it can be tough entering in those circumstances. I can't imagine getting boo'd to just add to insult.

Crazy because last season when Romero was out in the end of the season run in, Davi played really well. He never complains, always gives his all, and has been a decent servant to this club.

Really, really turned me off with the booing yesterday, and really made me numb to the result.

Agree, but he still got booed.
