As I just told you and Biscan, it was me as a piss take following the convo in the pub thread. changed it back now you whinging batards

 

Who was whinging?

 

Good article

http://www.theguardian.com/football...o-louis-van-gaal-manchester-united-philosophy

"a team including Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Ángel di María and Juan Mata could not even muster a shot on target against Southampton and the defeat exposed just what a nonsense it has been lately for Van Gaal to depict them as title challengers"

"37 points from 21 games is precisely the same amount under the faltering David Moyes reign this time last year – but actually one goal down, with fewer shots, crosses and passes, and more long balls"

 

And the fact they are still in the top4 with that number of points shows how piss-poor the league has been outside the top2 this year.

A whole bunch of sides have been ****e and/or underperforming (i'll exempt Southampton) and 3rd and 4th are still up for grabs!

 

Which makes you 5 points worse than Moyes United who finished 7th and got him the can.

Not like he got 2 1/2 years and £200m to spend either is it?

That's also in the article:

"Van Gaal has been fortunate in one respect to have taken the job at a time when Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton have all, to varying degrees, fallen away and the Premier League is, in short, nothing special."

 

We sold our only #worldclass player, and are now in transition

Van Gaal bought like 4 or 5 #worldclass players to add to the 3-4 Man Utd already had

 

The difference is that none of us are trying to suggest we're doing well. We know this season is a massive disappointment from last and there's nothing we can do except try and rescue as much as possible from it, and rebuild from there.
However, Utd fans and their sycophants in the media have been trying to tell us that last season was a blip and everything has been put right now that they've been freed from the malevolent influence of Darth Moyes.
Doesn't seem to be the case so far though.

 

Ahhh transition.............again

So you think United have 8 or 9 World Class players then? I'm sure @UnitedinRed will be astounded by this revelation

 

And no CL campaign to worry about either too

 

No but they do. So what's their excuse?

I think Man Utd players are mostly ****e

I thought my own opionion was well documented that Van Gaal is currently slightly overachieving ATM thanks to having a generous starting fixture list

 

Choice quote from the article

 

Despite a poor result yesterday, I don't think you can compare the 2 sides personally.

This United side looks far more capable than Moyes team ever did.

Before yesterday they'd only lost 1 in their last 17 and that was to City, so they've definitely progressed

They're nowhere near good enough to challenge for the title yet imo, but they're far better than at this point last season when they had no feeling of progression at all.

 

to be fair at this point last season they were also lumping in cross after cross for no joy, it's like a ****ing re run but with better players and the mancs, especially UIR was bitching the excessive crosses that produced nothing under MoyeZ.

Plus vG has had no CL to worry about. Arguably they could be worse off had they a CL campaign to worry about, after all isn't that the main reason we finished 2nd? less games

Yet still only the same number of points (1 fewer by fixtures).
That stat was a surprise to me, tbh- I thought it did "feel" like they were distinctly improving. There does seem to be a better spirit at the club than last season, but none of that will matter if they don't get consistently better results.
Their league position is better, but that is really because the rest of us are so bad. Of the 6 teams above Utd at this point last season only Chelsea have a better points haul than they had at the corresponding stage, and that's only an improvement of 3.
Arsenal are down 12
City are level
Liverpool are down 10
Everton down 19
Spurs down 6
So no matter how it feels, it's not so much a case of them climbing, as almost everyone else above them sinking.
