WELCOME TO THE EPL, MENEER VAN GAAL!

Post by Ekorian »

Welcome to the most exciting League in the world. A fiesty league where world class coaches are not respected and where Lower echelon teams won't be hesitant to claim three points on the road against title contending teams.
Sorry that Swansea coach Garry Monk spoilt your much hyped season opener by claiming three points at old Trafford today. I hope you are prepared for more disappointments in the future....
GOD BLESS CANADA, THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

I'm sure you are not comparing the pedigree and depth of last year's city team to this rebuilding Manure's average team!

So Van Gaal made history today? First time United would lose an opening game since 1972. Van Gaal achieved that. May United continue on this path.

The EPL is a different animal from pre-season friendles, Mr. Van Gaal.

United need to cash in on Chiltli Dorito and acquire a solid second/third striker. Who's their back up at left-back? Calls for investment. Get shot of Fellani, bring a bit of box to box in and a left centre defender. The 3-5-2/3-4-3 is a decent fit, but needs players to perfect it. That being said, T.I.E, This Is England, steak and kidney pie, pork scratchings and a pint of bitter! Bosh! Rain next weekend, ride or die!

They say he starts slow. Lets see how he ends. Will LVG become the fourth foreign manager to win the EPL in his first year after Jose, Ancelloti and Pelligrini?
