The English Football Thread

Van Gaal is being very naive atm, you can't play this type of open football with players like Evans and Anderson still about. You can see the philosophy he's trying to develop but the players aren't there for it at all.

United need at least 3 more top players in my book. 1 CM, 2 defenders.

Van Gaal seemed to be digging a hole as well this morning, being quoted as saying 'I expected that'. Some United fans now moaning about the demise of Moyes

Still Bobby Charltons face was worth a million dollars,

What did they think of Arse/Chels etc fans turning up?

Love the fact we gave them a friendly too, raises their profile.

Nothing was said, but they seem to have a sort of obsession with Chelsea for some reason. They really don't like us as a club and sing "we hate Chelsea" every other game. It annoys me.

I wouldn't say I was a fan or they were my second club, I just go to see new grounds and have a piss up.

Ed Woodward offered £27 million for it.

I cant help thinking that a part of Ferguson is actually enjoying some of this, adding to his legacy.

Everyone knew this would happen yet their fans at first seemed to think nahhh we have the team still etc.Apparently not woops!Buying one pricey player wont fix defense problems

True, it's no good leaving if your departure isn't felt.

You have to wonder what kind of relationship him and Moyes had for Ferguson to advocate someone who clearly wasn't a 'winner'.

Milton Keynes video gone.

I 'm sick and tired opening youtube links saying "all goals-highlights" and a country yobo turning up, beer in hand, telling me "howdeeee there you crowd, howzzat for a preeeetty cool video".

Watching Man utd is like bumping into the kid that bullied you at school, but hes serving you fries and a Big Mac.

Roy Hodgson shares Louis van Gaal's fears over Luke Shaw's fitness

Has his fitness level really been THAT bad?

It did appear that he looked somewhat overweight during the World Cup period but this has been mentioned quite a lot since then (arguably more than expected).

Yikes ... look at some of the salaries currently being paid by United :

Ashley Young - £115k per week

Nani - £115k per week

Hernandez - £88k per week

Anderson - £80k per week

Welbeck - £80k per week

Imagine morale and moods are high with Di Maria there now, so I would be be surprised if this is an annihilation.

I'd laugh myself into cramps if United drop points or lose this one.

Fletcher alone in the midfield. . Ooh, this is going to be fun to watch.
