He's right, they are bigger. Not sure what that means though. I'm more than happy for them to be a bigger club all the time we are finishing above them.
He's lucky we had a drab first half otherwise it would have been 5 or 6

Doesn't he realise that by saying that he chose Man Utd because they are a bigger, he is basically saying that Poch is the better manager having gone to a smaller club and doing better than him? The prick!

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


And that fucking accent! He's some kind of Steve McLaren wanna be.

G'day people, my first post. Just retired and got some time on my hands. Gone west from the smoke and put me feet up.
Don't know about you but does LVG come across as a bit pompous? He seems very easy to wind up and the press seem to be having a great time pulling his plonker and he always responds.
Don't think we'll be talking about him much longer because he strikes me as "a dead man walking". It's embarrassing watching him sit beside Giggs writing god knows what in his notebook - probably "shite, some more shite, firmer shite, runny shite, red shite". Giggs expression looks like LVG has just dropped the mother of all farts too.
Boy we certainly dodged a bullet there, maybe our luck is actually changing?

Welcome aboard, glad to hear you have time on your hands cos this place will take all you've got mate.
LVG does seem to have a lot of faith in his own ability that's for sure.

Their succes and history is just what it is. History.

For two seasons now they have lacked a long term vision, have wasted countless millions on players and have huge debt.

Spurs on the other hand have a balanced budget, a new stadium on it's way (the second biggest in the PL) a cracking training facility and ten outfield players that are faster than Blind and finally a bus driver that could plan a trip to Old Trafford that could fucking arrive in good time.

Well, the line is true, but the fact Man U's manager had to even say it in a postgame match after getting hammered by us is very lol.

Fergie would've just laughed and said something about "a wee club down in the Southeast." My how much can change in this crazy game without salary caps in just a short amount of time.

Fergie would have said "where's that Christian Bale lad"?

what a childish puerile response to a thumping defeat.


MESSAGE FOR MR VAN GAAL

There is not a Spurs fan alive (or dead) who is not delighted that you are now the manager of Manchester Utd rather than our manager.

Wasn't he asked if he regretted not taking the Spurs job? Probably a bit of an irritating question after being thumped 3-0.

I heard his response on the radio. he sounded like a bitter and twisted toddler.

stupid question as he's hardly likely to say "yeah, I really regret it, worst decision of my life".

He could've said "of course not. I'm very happy at Manchester Utd". Job done

Such a shame hes turned into an absolute ****, I always like Van Gaal, always seemed humble and assured. This just shows how crap he has been since he took over, his gone back to talking about 10 years which he had no influence over when he gets constantly thrashed.

Someone needs to have a word with LVG about his constant misuse of the word 'shall'. It's very irritating

There is not a Spurs fan alive (or dead) who is not delighted that you are now the manager of Manchester Utd rather than our manager, but there are millions of alive (or dead) Utd fans wishing you hadn't turned up at OT

just thought I would fill in the rest of the sentence while you went on your tea break

in December I had a taxi job up to Salford, and got the return the day after so I visited OT, and a very kind supporter of theirs visiting his local club, he lived just around the corner "Canada", took a picture of me and the Stadium behind (holding my Spurs key-ring), and talking to him and a steward they definitely prey for the day he leaves.
