    God its such a shame the player I love so much has turned into a bitter old man that just grumbles and grumbles all the time.

    So 24 hours till the transfer window is open eh. I really really hope we sign a central defender and central midfielder.

    I love the ownership Van Gaal has, and has had on the team since he arrived, even things like saying, "my teams fighting spirit"

    Its a stark contrast to last season and a very welcome change

    Made up by Nicky Butt by the sounds of it.

    I loved the last press conference even more, the journalists saying he said some things, and he said he didn't, he explained he was answering questions. Then he said "I can go" and stood up. Great stuff, he has them by the balls

    He has to shut the **** about this christmas football thing, every team has to do it. It has always been the case in England and no one is going to change it because of him. Other than that he is good to watch and his honesty in a world of bull**** is great to see.

    Happy Birthday to the greatest football manager of all time and the legend who is SIR Alexander Chapman Ferguson.

    What do you mean? What does he gain over them? The press are the press. They are just there so they can write their articles and will do so no matter what LVG says or not.

    At the end of the day it's about 3 points on the pitch. There's no points won in a presser.

    My favourite quote from the great man as I'm sure it is for every Man Utd fan.

    The response was delivered like a cobra strike, quick and brutal. "My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fecking perch," Ferguson said. "And you can print that."

    Anders Lindegaard on best dancer at #mufc: “Phil Jones – if he gets on the dancefloor, the whole party is saved.”

    Imagine the faces he pulls when he dances.

    Something like this I'd imagine.

    Love this man and the hold he is taking at United. I really hope he is the one to bring the club back to continued success and therefore he will be with us beyond 3 years. Each week that passes I can see the improvement which is being spoken of. For me though, the one thing that cannot be reiterated enough is that he has made this progress pretty much without his Summer signings available for selection amidst a genuine injury crisis.

    Never mind football, the bantz out of him is gas also;

    LVG on English life in general, paraphrased from the above press conference (starts @6.48)

    LVG: People tell me before I move to England that the food is not good, but it is fantastic...

    Reporter: Oh can you tell us what is your favourite?

    LVG: Chinese food...from Wing's restaurant.


    Louis then looks confused and dead serious at a room of reporters breaking into laughter.

    I wonder if United will bid for Howedes in January, get Vlaar on a free in the summer along with buying Hummels then.

    Worth the loan fee alone...

    now the barca ban has been upheld, I think Marco Reus will be joining Real next summer, Bale will join utd (I hope)

    Great video here for all of you, who want to reminisce about 1999, It is taken after the great night in Turin. Quite rare footage I would imagine. Worth a watch.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    Yeah, so rare that it's on YouTube with a very clear heading.

    Perez fairly adamant yesterday Bale would not only stay but see out his career at Real. Not like Perez to be commenting on his own team he must actually like Bale.
