Celebrating the fact that this season is balls-out crazy entertaining, in every way, and that includes Manchester United's successful qualification for the Europa League tonight. Specifically, that there is a very real chance that all the finest English teams (and Tottenham), except Man City, may yet end up all playing for the glorious Europa League trophy.
On another note, I've never seen you happy with football. You keep calling everybody cunts and failures, and you're following Manchester-flipping-United, England's most decorated and the world's richest club. Louis van Gaal is a world class manager who made you the most successful defensive team in the league, while increasingly playing your young talents and building a really scary side. Daley Blind was one of your most consistent defenders and now a bad game against one of Germany's finest sides means he should be kicked to the curve. Like, shit happens. Players make mistakes, the manager gets the tactic wrong, and important games are lost. I get it if it's an outburst or two or twenty after some particularly terrible circumstances, but you gotta be happy following a team sometimes, man. |

LVG is responsible for keeping the player motivated, their training, tactics, selections and most importantly, transfer windows.
I was never convinced that he was the right one for MUFC, and I always had my heart settled to see Klopp for United, alas we know how that turned out. LVG did impress me in the 1st season, but his 2nd has been nothing but a disaster and especially with how Rooney has declined and he was stubborn with starting him despite it being obvious that Rooney has severely regressed. Now we're short of ideas, lack of creativity and no attractive + attacking style of play. Frankly, it has been quite boring to watch the games this season and I have fallen asleep often while watching the team play. Only player that excites me is Martial, and for that I am thankful for LVG (and for keeping DDG) but he needs to prove he has the caliber challenge for the titles and champions league. His decisions for and in recent games has been baffling.

If Louis van Gaal is a world class manager, then he wouldn't have lost his job with Bayern Munich in the circumstances we now know (Bayern on the edge of missing out the CL in the 2010-11 season). Furthermore, it is becoming very clear that his ideas are just simply outdated for the reality of modern football. And finally, it's a string of bad tactical decisions that pisses people off. As Se7enSword already pointed out, it's damn boring. Worse than that, there is no fighting spirit! I care little about how Van Gaal play young talents when his approach clearly stifles everyone on top of the fact that he has not brought in enough players who can act as big brothers to the younger ones. Man, they are bloody afraid when they hit the pitch. Blind... he has been awful after he lost his starting spot to Phil Jones, and he keeps on showing why he is not a defender. Quote:

A modern manager is now a passerby who should make the most of the current assets with tactics and training methods. They rarely last more then two to three years anyway. |

Well , other than the unfortunate case of MU. And Arsenal who had no choice but to finish behind Bayern. All other EPL teams seemed do well in Europe this season with City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool all finished top of their groups.
Don't know how many will get through the first knock-out stage through
