I have to say, this match was shittier than the FA Cup final.

Disagree.

Bertrand is better then Rose.

Rose got Man of the Match today though.

 

[CMojicaAce]

La Liga and Copa del Rey ain't too shabby. Shame about the champions league, though.

 

[Facism]

Turkey didn't to bad against England considering 5 of their first team didn't play.

some good stories in this article on van gaal's time at united

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...an-gaal-manchester-united-players-near-mutiny

From that point onwards, he started sending the players individual emails detailing their faults and submitting video clips to highlight his dissatisfaction. Except by that stage a lot of the players were so disillusioned many ignored the emails or redirected them straight to their trash. Van Gaal suspected as much and had a tracker fitted so he could check if the emails were opened and for how long. It became a game of cat and mouse. Some players opened the emails on their mobiles, then left their phones on the side and wandered off for 20 minutes.

loool

From Hoddle...

 

[The_Hitcher89]

ITV's MotM choices are always shite

 

[Syder]

Rose was undeniably one of our best players. I think he's Roy's first choice too.

Don't agree at all

Walker was good though

The look of a legend.
Wonderful picture that shows so many things.

does Robin van Persie still play professionally?

Wonder how man utd are going to play under Mourinho.

Nobody in Turkey does it.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Wonder how man utd are going to play under Mourinho.

According to Twitter, most of GAF and Daily Mail comments, they're going to park the bus.

I think they'll do the usual Mourinho thing of playing strong attacking football and set-up more defensively against stronger teams/when they're at a disadvantage.

 

[TrueBlue]

An employment lawyer is apparently at Man Utd training ground haha

 

[Milchmonster]

Kicker says it's Klopp or Tuchel for Götze

Kill me

 

[GoldenCrow]

Wonder how man utd are going to play under Mourinho.

The same as every Mourinho team. He plays not to lose, if that means 10 men sitting deep for 90 mins with one forward waiting for the other team to make a mistake that is how United will play. That is often how he does play, targeting weak points of teams and making changes to maximise the chance of these mistakes.

Be interesting to see if the old cunts rip into Mourinho for the same things they did LvG because he does a lot of them regularly.

SHOCKING: Manchester United have sacked Louis van Gaal following the conclusion of the 2015/16 season.

Official announcement in 1½ hour.

Going to be too many big managers in the Prem now.

If only we had the players to match that.

True!

Karius to join Liverpool for £4.7m.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Oooft.

If he continues like he has, I think he'll end up there eventually, Barca going to go after him hard to set him up to replace Suarez.

It's interesting, both LVG and Mourinho appear to have a similar mindset i.e. not to lose, but both do it in different ways.

LVG says if you keep the ball, the opponent cannot score, whereas Mourinho says if you don't have the ball you're less likely to make a mistake.

I think we'll prefer Mourinho's pragmatic approach, as opposed to LVG's which appears to be based on cowardice and the shame of being beaten 5-3 by Leicester.

And they all have to finish in the top four

Next season is going to be a beautiful train wreck

@tancredipalmeri
BOOM! Arsenal have made a bid of 50m€ for Morata. Real Madrid valuing what to do

 

[wolfwolfwolf]

I'd love to know why people keep linking Morata with Arsenal for that kind of money. Even if it is idiots on twitter. Guy can't even get into the Juventus starting 11.

That's why going to Arsenal would be a good move for him. He's a man for mid-tier teams.

Yeah that ain't true

LVG

Palmeri is 50-50 tbh. I could see Morata being a better player then Giroud.

He probably would be but I don't believe a word that comes out of Palmeris mouth

The press next season are going to be awful. The pre-season China derby is going to start the cluster fuck.

Gutted Van Gaal has gone. He was always entertaining, even if his teams weren't.

BILD Headline:

Götze is looking forward to the the start of the new season with FC Bayern and will do everything to be fit for his first train under Ancelotti.

Fuck yes
Please be true, please be true, pretty please

He just wants to keep his goatse warm on the bench.

 

[Milchmonster]

Fuck yes
Please be true, please be true, pretty please

lol

As much as I'd like to believe that (because he wouldn't come back), it's just bild. They probably got scared about their previous story (Ancelotti doesn't want him and Götze will leave) after Götze got a new agent today.

 

[bjaelke]

He also parted ways with his agent

 

[Blablurn]

Götze going back to dortmund for free

What a player

 

[Jack cw]

So Götze fired his agent and wants to stay at Bayern. He said in the interview that he wants to start the new season under Carlo. Ancelotti obviously said something SZ got wrong. That would explain why we didn't progress on Sanchez or James.

 

[spidye]

I love götze. I really hope he stays and ancelotti gives him a second chance.
He once said bayern was his favourite club in his youth and there are pics of him in a bayern jersey when he was six(five?). I'd rather have him at bayern than someone like hojbjerg

 

[Carbonox]

So what happened to Hojbjerg? I thought he was supposed to be the next big thing youth-wise at Bayern?
