He can blabber on about history all he wants but it wont change the fact that we chewed them up and shat them out yesterday.

How does it feel to be United's Graham Souness?

Transitioning them into a two-decade journey to EL mediocrity?

I just love it that MoPo went to the loo and missed our third goal while we were p*ss*ng all over Louis's bigger team.
MP is often nipping off in the middle of games.
I'd like to think he is taking a few minutes of quiet time and taking on tactical advice/reviewing key moments.

It's more likely that all that 'mate' stuff he drinks gives him the runs.

Should we worry that Man U will chase Poch?

Sorry in Australia and dont get much premier league news over here.

I'm just so grateful that we have more class than United. MP represents everything that's glorious about our club. Desire to play amazing football with style and passion, and he doesn't criticize other teams or managers.

I was vehemently opposed to those two Dutch sham merchants. FDB for obvious reasons...managing in Holland these days is like kindy play and I just thought he didn't have the balls for the PL. But LVG? Fuck me dead, here we were going for the dinosaur daddy. This bloke was so far past his use by date, even the flies were keeping away. Thank God he did us a favour. Otherwise Levy would have crawled up his ass to get him to WHL.

Imagine a season in purgatory with this chump. It would make the likes of AVB look like Alex Ferguson.

I believe the full quote was "Manchester United are a bigger club than Spurs but I'm working on it":)

Don't argue with Van Gaal's comments - the only parameter that we are 'bigger' is our current status. Historical, financial, fan base, global reach, wages, transfers etc etc Utd are a bigger team.

However, we are on the up, they are on the down, and I can see them really slipping down the pecking order if they are not clever with their next managerial appointment. Leeds used to be a bigger club, Forest were for a few years, it can only take a decade or so to slip from the top into the middle of the pack, even with the different financial environment of modern day football

Really, we should all love Manchester United and owe them a debt. I'll forever be thankful to them for hiring Van Gaal before Levy was able to.

No problem with him saying they are a bigger club. A bit pathetic sure, but then he's getting shown up for being a poor manager , so I'd expect him to have a bit of a hissy. He also said they will always be bigger, which I thought was uncalled for as well as bollocks. They could be, but who knows in 10, 20, 50 years time what can happen in football. I wouldn't be so arrogant to think we'd always be bigger than any club.

Imagine he got the job instead of poch. The guy is a twat, not just because he manages man u but because he is genuinely a twat. When he comes on sky I just turn him off. Prick
