Seeing as the hissyfits ended when we scored our first goal yesterday I thought you'd like another reason to go purple in the face, shake uncontrollably and go on the rampage kicking the vadge off of old ladies and domestic pets

Louis van Gaal says he does not regret turning down Tottenham in the summer of 2014, saying Manchester United "are a bigger club".
United lie 12 points adrift of second-placed Spurs after suffering a 3-0 defeat at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
"The challenge was bigger for me at Manchester United and shall always be bigger," said Van Gaal, whose side are fifth.
"I'm sorry for Tottenham but Manchester United is a bigger club."
Despite United's troubles this season, Van Gaal, who held talks with Spurs about becoming manager, believes United are "still ahead" of the London club.
He also turned on the reporter who had asked him whether he had regretted choosing United over Spurs.
"It is a little bit pathetic you asked that," the 64-year-old Dutchman said. "It's easy to ask that but, ok, you enjoy yourself."
After Van Gaal signed a three-year deal at Old Trafford, Tottenham appointed former Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino as boss.
