    WTF has United playing the dullest football in living memory got to do with how Klopp is getting on with the Dippers?

    Exactly... and when LVG has been there and done it several times, he'll get the same t-shirt. Until then, he has to do it first <ok>

    BTW why is it that those who defend LVG seem hell-bent on comparing him to Fergie?? We can go down that road, but the minute anyone shows what a piss-poor comparison it is, we'll be accused of not getting over the Fergie era <laugh>

    You're only excited by the final scores you tune into <whistle> Not recently though I guess.

    Lets be honest UIR, if Palace and City and Newcastle and PSV had been exactly the same for 89 mins and 59 seconds but ended up with a 1-0 win you'd say you thoroughly enjoyed them. The only thing that dictates your enjoyment of a game or your judgement of our performance, is the result.

    You would have to ask Sir Alex. Though you nay want to ask Woodward. Pretty sure van Gaal is Woodward's choice, though van Gaal was Fergies original choice in 2002.

    In sure if you stick your question in a bottle bd send out to see, you'll get an answer soon enough.

    I thought Sven was the 2002 choice.

    Neo didn't dodge bullets that well in the Matrix!

    **** knows - SAF seems to have rewritten history in his books more often than astro trying to justify his new Klopp love.

    I do increasingly wonder if he sits there writing each book going "I wonder what I can make up this time to send the press and internet into another massive spasm?"

    Absolutely sure of this. I would too if I was him. Perfect pastime for him in retirement. Certainly more enjoyable than coming to see us play these days.

    Watching Man Utd isn't so bad when you're getting £100,000 a game in ambassador fees

    I wouldn't dispute that.
    Point is though, I would watch back to back episodes of Sex and the City if I were being paid £100k per episode :)

    Nah, Fergie knows better than us so I suspect he does enjoy it.

    Imagine the pressure as United manager, especially when your the best manager whoever lived or will live. Now he gets to relax.

    Exactly. Sterling gets £200k a game to watch Man City. It's not that Fergie doesn't deserve £100k a game to watch Utd, it's that anyone else would also enjoy that deal.

    I would need more to watch Chelsea. Add 9 zeros and square it.
