David Moyes has shared what he really thought about the West Ham fans booing after our 1-1 draw with Newcastle at the London Stadium yesterday.
The Hammers were absolutely abysmal against Newcastle.

The visitors deserved to beat us. They were first to every single loose ball, looked far more energetic and played with loads more inventiveness, incision and imagination that we did.
Newcastle would have been very disappointed with the point at the end, as poor as West Ham were.
Things have got to change quickly if we are to have any chance of fishing inside the top six. David Moyes has a really tough task on his hands. After out failure to sign anyone in January, the Scot has limited options at his disposal.
Things were arguably as bad as they have been all season yesterday and the natives were restless.
West Ham fans booing, Moyes reacts
When the final whistle blew yesterday, loud boos rang out around the London Stadium, and rightly so. It was a totally embarrassing performance from the Hammers players.
Everyone aside from Craig Dawson should be hanging their heads in shame this morning.
With that in mind, the Hammers fans were well within the rights to boo. Moyes delivered a surprise response, however, when asked about the fans’ reaction at full-time, as quoted by Football.London:
“I think it might have been for the referee’s decisions at the end and not to do with the team performance. It could have been but I think it was for the referee not being more decisive with his decisions at the end.”
Sorry Dave, but we think you’ve got this one badly wrong.
The boos were directed at the underperforming West Ham players, no one else.
There is nothing wrong with letting the players know when they haven’t been up to it.
We support our team up and down the country and fill out away ends every time we play away from home. All we expect as West Ham fans is the players to give their all. We haven’t won anything since 1980 so people cannot accuse us of being an overly demanding fanbase.
The players weren’t good enough yesterday and they got booed as a result. That’s how it should be. Hopefully it will end up being the kick up the backside they needed. Next weekend’s clash with Wolves is now an absolutely huge one. The players need to turn up and put a performance in, because they haven’t done that in quite some time.
