    Funnily Enough, I'm getting to quite like Van Gaal. He's like that really ugly dog that is so ugly that he's cute! Its after he did that 'dive' in front of the 4th official, how can you not like that?

    As for Mourinho.......well, they deserve each other. I predict it will be a total disaster (of course I am officially average at predictions).

    I did find that a bit funny at the time, and I wasn't laughing at him either.

    I suspect I'm also one of the few club supporters around who admires Mourinho. I admire his tactical acumen. Possibly his inter-personal skills might be a bit overrated, but they could just be a front. It came unravelled for him last season [can we say last season for the season just finished now.?], but I don't expect that to last forever. If it does then he isn't the manager I took him for. He may not be a Brian Clough, but he's as good as anything else out there at the moment. It's nice to know that Ronald can go toe-to-toe with him and have good expectations of coming out the winner.

    More of a shock. Ryan Giggs looks as if he's going to have to paddle his own canoe from now on.

    Mourinho will be licking his chops at the thought of his next payoff in 18-24 months!!!

    That defending by Herrera was terrible, if a kid done that on a playground he would get a bollocking from the pe teacher, not only backing out of the challenge but putting both arms up to protect yourself is just asking to give away a penalty

    It'll be interesting to see how Morgan goes under Mourinho. I think he'll flourish actually.

    Only 10 of the 20 Premier League managers at the start of the season are still incumbent; crazy really!
