Lump it up to the big man... weren't they Moyes tactics?

Listening to Talkshite yesterday, and the press in general tbh all I have been hearing is what a great coach and master tactician he is... Durham on TS was spouting off yesterday about how it was all coming together for turtlehead... but last night they were as shite as ever, despite the money spent!
Well I had heard of Van Gaal of course before he joined them, but wasn't well up on his CV, so had a little look. Wow, the guy is really overhyped in my opinion – yeah he's had success as a coach, but let's face it, it was with teams that he would have been catastrophically bad with to fail!
Ajax – arguably Holland's biggest team, with one of Europe's top youth setups. Barca and Bayern go without saying, only AZ stand out as being an exception.
So basically he's done well with top teams, with great youth set ups and pots of money!
When we spent a few quid the press were all over us like a tramp on a kebab – saying that if we didn't win anything it was a failure and that anybody could manage our team, like we'd put together the Harlem Globetrotter equivalent of football!
Now he's spunked a fortune at the rags for little return so far - yet the press are still waxing lyrical about him.

You obviously never witnessed his tactical genius last night when he made an inspired substitution... Oh well, never mind, maybe we'll be lucky enough to get him when Manuel steps down and you will witness it first hand (if we could ever prise him away).

The Turtle at our place? We do not want the big swede near us.

He's more like a turnip at the moment!

United fans are really funny. We are legitimately disappointed with a 2-2 draw in the champions league but they are delirious with the same result at west brom. How the mighty have fallen.

It's a long time since they won anything, though, isn't it?

League in 1920 and FA Cup in 1968. And their last major final was the 1970 League Cup.

Southampton must be laughing their heads off that they got near 50 million for Chambers and Shaw. Both have been very poor this season and look out of place. They would have been better staying at Southampton to further their development,. Chambers is lucky, because Wenger will play him no matter how bad he performs, but I expect Chambers will be dropped.

Early days, but Herrera does not seem like he is worth that much though he is a decent player and RVP is definitely on the decline now. Mata has never recovered his form and Jones does not seem to learn. All that money spent and their squad is so average. Sadly still think they will make top 4.

- RVP one season wonder - egotistical gamble by the arrogant one that paid handsomely
- I think you meant Shaw. Unless they bring in a CB, doubtful b/c Rojo is their best CB
- Herrera seems light weight for a CM role in the PL. that said in a 3 man MF he might flourish if supported by muscle, but not that impressed. At least not 30 million impressed by him
- Mata needs a free role at 10 and supporting wingers. I still cannot believe how he has fallen. He was never as good as Silva at controlling games or creating chances but his finishing, final ball and set piece delivery were superior and he really flourished in a 4231 at Chelsea before Jose. That said I really cannot see him having a future at the rags

Did you see the one below that with Rafael shoiting at the West From player to put him off! Fucking hell, I used to do that at school......I was also told that it was against the rules!

I'd wager Mata?

£40m big ones and had another anonymous game the other night.

The rest of the new signings he won't dare write off just yet.

Give the twat another ten days to reach that conclusion!
