Behave. He's a good player.
We were not that bad under hodgson.
What a smashing result for the pricks.
Worried about the Di Maria signing though. He's f*cking brilliant and nobody will care what he cost if they sort out their system, get everyone fit and have him tearing up the league.
A massive signing for them. I'd have loved us to get him instead of some of the signings we made.

Di Maria's obviously delighted to be moving to United
"Dear Madridismo,
My cycle at Real Madrid has come to an end. Is impossible to capture all I have lived through in a few lines, but I want this letter to communicate what I feel at the moment of parting. In these four years I had the honor to wear this shirt I feel nothing but pride for what I went through and achieved along with my team mates. Unfortunately today I have to go, but I want to make clear that this was never my desire.
As anyone who works, I’ve always wanted to progress. After winning “La Decima” I went to the World Cup with the hope of receiving a new contract, which never came. Many things and many lies were spoken. They always wanted to attribute the initiative to me to leave the club, but did not. The only thing I asked for is something that would be fair. There are many things that I value and many of them have nothing to do with my salary. I hope to progress at Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, where I wish to make history.
I’ve been lucky enough to share a dressing room with fantastic players, who have been even better companions. I think that was the key to La Decima. I want to apologize for the times I was wrong, on or off the pitch. It was never my intention to harm anyone. I sweated for this shirt in every game as if it was my last. There were times when things went for me and others not, but what I can say is that I always gave everything.
I want to thank Spain for everything you gave me and especially for allowing my daughter to be born on this earth. And to the very special people at Montepríncipe hospital, which I will always carry in my heart. My wife, daughter and I will be forever grateful. Also to my colleagues who gave me their support always, in good times and bad, to the various technical bodies that I got to work with and also to all the people who work every day at the club, with which I hope to keep a great relationship.
I hope that Real Madrid have a great season and get this club the achievements they are always looking for. I take forever in my memory that time in the Supercopa when I jumped at the Bernabeu and I received from the fans immense affection. Thank you. I have goose bumps yet cannot think of a better farewell for which unfortunately was my last game.
Hala Madrid! And until forever!"

Van Gaal's insanely lucky they play two fucking sunday league sides in the next fortnight, otherwise he could be out on his ear.
So far he's got 1 draw out of games against Swansea, MK Dons, and Sunderland. Imagine he was coming up against us, or City, or Chelsea, or had a difficult run of games to face? The sadsack cunt could be getting bombed out. Instead he's got to play Burnley and QPR in his next 2 games.
He's very lucky.

I don't know if it's true or not but the story was passed on to all the papers, not just the Star.
It's a good movie with a dodgy looking son.
How ironic then that Cher now has a good life with a dodgy looking son.
Lucky??
Not if they beat them!!
He could excuse only getting 1 point from, say, our starting games...
Dont be so sure Burnley or QPR are worse than MK Dons.
Bare-faced lies - check.
Exaggerated injury claims - check.
Stress on the need for time - check.
Third person references - check.
All going to plan:
Van Gaal, without a win in his first three games with United, said: “I’m not shocked because I know what can happen.
“We had nine injuries and played again within 48 hours [of Sunday's 1-1 draw away to Sunderland]. So I had to look at the second team and youth players for this match.
“It’s very difficult when you start as a manager in the Premier League with a home match loss, then a draw and you lose in a cup match.
“It’s difficult for the fans to believe in the philosophy of Louis Van Gaal but you have to do that because I’m here to build up a new team and a new team isn’t built in one month.”

Good Cher knowledge.
When the cameras pan to the ManU bench, I almost always get the feeling Giggs is busy sucking up to Van Gaal. He's always there talking to Van Gaal, like he's reassuring him that he's still there to stroke his flat face if needed. Giggs is there mimicking Van Gaal's actions. Van Gaal shakes head at a bad call, Giggs sinks back and shakes head... Van Gaal has hand to mouth or hand to what looks like a chin, Giggs has hand to mouth and hand to chin. It's like Giggs works on a push button.
Oh wait...
And this takes the cake:
I like that part... "Plus the training". It's like Giggs suddenly remembered what they were at the club for.

You must be too young to have seen FA Cup Finals in the 70s on the BBC. I have memories of the winning team turning up in the BBC studio 10 minutes after they left the pitch, still in kit, muddy & sweating and drinking milk straight out of those tall glass bottles that were the norm back then
Or it may have been a dream
Regardless of how bad it gets...and let's hope it gets much worse than this...there is no way they'll sack Van Gaal mid season as they did with Moyes. Curiously, I feel Van Gaal could actually damage them more than Moyes ever could, even if DM had been given longer. Under the right circumstances, most top managers would have jumped at the chance to replace Moyes in due course however if Van Gaal bombs I doubt there will be a long queue of A list candidates to replace him.
As for their next couple of fixtures, good, bring it on because if they win both then what have they achieved? However to drop any points in either would be further evidence of their rapid decline. The pressure there already must be immense...it took Moyes even longer than this to put himself under such pressure.

LVG: Look, Mishter Man, you need to lose that shmile. You're not dealing with shome idiot Shcotshman wiv de burnt-off eyebrowsh now, you're dealing wiv Louis Van Gaal!
GIGGS: You don't scare me, and, by the way, please don't point.
LVG: Look, Mr Fancy Pantsh, okay, you're a quick runner, hey, sho would you like to run quickly to the Job Centre? No? Sho knuckle down. From now on, you jusht carry my very heavy clipboard everywhere and shay only 'Yesh, Bossh'.
GIGGS: I'm not scared.
LVG: You want to go back to your little shmall time bakery businessh wiv all your shmall time bakery family, ehh? Shpend all your day making the shaushage rolls?
GIGGS: That's 'Greggs'. I think you're thinking of Greggs.
LVG: Yeah, I sheen it in the town, Greggsh, like you, Ryan Greggsh.
GIGGS: Giggs. I'm Ryan Giggs.
LVG: 'Alwaysh fresh, Alwaysh Tashty'.
GIGGS: Greggs! Although that slogan actually suits me rather well, so the ladies say.
LVG: And don't get any of your ideash wiv my very attractive wife, okay? I heard all about your dirty shex smakken anticsh.
GIGGS: You can point all you like, I'm not scared.
LVG: You sheem a little crazy. I am Louis Van Gaal. You are just shome Welsh guy.
GIGGS: You'll get blamed for all of this, you realise, not me. I'm safe here, mate. And stop pointing.
LVG: And you told me Shmalling was a good player! And Cleverley! And Jonesh! JONESH!!!
GIGGS: Ha ha ha. Did I?
LVG: You're evil.
GIGGS: Ha ha, am I?
LVG: Mark my wordsh: Louis Van Gaal will crush you.
LGV: Jusht keep shmiling, baker boy, the cameras are out.
GIGGS: I'm enjoying this. I'm enjoying every minute.
LVG: Louis Van Gaal hatesh you very much.
Most but definitely not all fans know there is no quick fix. The club definitely know.
There is no necessity for us to get top 4 this season. Financially income will be higher next season without CL than last season with it and still way higher than the top 4.
With the Di Maria signing we have proven we can still attract the best without CL.
It's in the Mirror and the Metro now.
It might be good to talk to them for a week about it. Keep them away from anyone else.
If Van Gaal somehow leads them to a Hodgson-like record (P20, 7W 4D 9L = 25 points) - not that I see it happening, but if it does - then I can see them panic and maybe, just maybe fire him. His bluntness and arrogance will have made him few or no friends in the boardroom and dressing room (especially with the remaining senior ones). Arrogance and underachievement isn't the most career-friendly combination.
It'll be quite an accomplishment though to do worse than Moyes, but he's on the right track. Already has earned fewer points than Moyes in their first 2 league games, and been knocked out of a domestic up tournament while Moyes took them a lot further. Great job Agent Van Gaal.
Even the training complex is listing.
To be fair, looking at their squad, it's probably more to do with preventing injuries than any tangible psychological reason.
