Not so long ago, Louis van Gaal was angrily walking out of a press conference. On Friday, he breezed into his briefing almost 10 minutes early in a decidedly better mood. The atmosphere around Manchester United's Carrington training base has changed, and not just because the recent storm raging around Van Gaal has largely blown over following his team's improved performances and results

headlines on the mails website, what is it 1 win in 9 games :)

I don't wish to trivialise something profound, but it's as if they're going through the the five stages of grief.....denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

They're presently at the bargaining stage, with the proviso that depression's been an ever present for the last four to five years. Hope they never reach the acceptance stage though. That would be much less entertaining.

Maybe he's getting the dreaded vote of confidence.......or, all the manager's they've been talking to behind the scenes have told them to fuck off, and phoned LvG in the process!

They're at the bargaining stage alright. There's still a lot of "what ifs" and Fergie dreaming, increasingly tinged with a growing realisation of the fuck up he left behind and his culpability in their predicament, which of course contrasts with their adoration of him, so lots of cognitive dissonance going on as well.

If that club were a person, their GP would have them on medication, therapy, and the number for a psychiatric unit on speed dial.

Sounds like he's finally coming out of his shell :)

I think it's pure comedy.
The win against, at the time, managerless swansea, has somehow turned them into world beaters.
The wankfest that followed was disgusting. Every journalist to a man was celebrating a turning off the corner, a new Dawn on the horizon, they was back.
As it said, that's their 1st win in 9 games, and all to the tune of £250m.
Comedy gold.

They scored as well, FFS. That alone deserves adulation.
 
So how will a home defeat to the Blades go down? A blip? A Tactical ( Turtle ) defeat enabling them to focus on the Premier and Europa Leagues?

Four; four stage feedback loop surely? ;-) Denial -> Anger -> Bargaining -> Depression -> Denial -> Anger -> &c.

The Plastic Syndrome.

I saw loads of these twunts speaking cockney and wandering around town earlier, looking for taxis and buying street vendored rag tat. Horrid, it was, but I had my City hat on and smirked at them all.
