If he doesn't drop Rooney now, he never will. Absolutely diabolical against Norwich and with Van Gaal's position in great question, you'd think he would stop this crap and just put him on the bench.H
Hey pal, I heard you are right all the time...what do you feel is going to be the result tomorrow?
I suppose that since I am now some sort of prophet I must give my bold prediction to the masses...
1-0 Stoke.
That is a fair prediction, thank you kind sir.
You're welcome
LVG is that you? Ok technically we didn't lose but they knocked us out of the cup. IMO they had just as many chances to win that game as we did, at Old Trafford we should be beating them easily.
Anyway back to tomorrows match, either a 0-0 bore draw or we lose 1-0. Can't see us winning at all, if we do win LVGs xmas lunch speech would have been something to rival that of Winston Churchill.0-3(Rooney x3)Less than 1/3 of the voters think United will win. Has the predictions been as bleak before?
I got that joke in my cracker today too.
It could be the excessive training sessions, apparently they are pretty physically taxing and was cited as a reason we were so lethargic against PSV at home.Today is the day that decides the fate of the club over the next decade.
Shame we can't add film trailer music to posts.Wait do we even have injury updates for this game?
Whatever you are smoking is good shit.
fixed Those poll resutls. I don't think I've ever seen it that bad, even during the Moyes era.I desperately want us to win to be honest.
I want the players to prove me wrong and show that Van Gaal isn't a dead-man walking.
Basically I want a Christmas miracle.
I left a pause after writing the first word and wrote it all in an Orson Welles accent.
Poll wasn't around during the Moyes era. Think the poll for the first Chelsea game last season was similar, but the highest % of votes was for a United win: https://www.redcafe.net/matches/manchester-united-vs-chelsea.14/ Those poll resutls. I don't think I've ever seen it that bad, even during the Moyes era.
Why? How is this game different than the last game?
Those poll resutls. I don't think I've ever seen it that bad, even during the Moyes era.
The win-draw-loss percentages were about 20-20-60 two days ago. The mince pie and wine speech seems to have raised the caf's optimism levels.
Because before the last game we hadn't just lost to Norwich at home.
I agree its possibly the biggest game of our season if you take into account what it could changeEverybody should read this:
Bit of optimism perhaps - we should be a bit more supportive maybe ? 0-1 to us.. Christmas n all that..
I wish I could share your optimism that a bad result tomorrow might trigger an immediate change. Unfortunately I don't think that LVG will go if we lose tomorrow. Besides, if the club is not being run by clowns a decision regarding LVG's future should have been made already regardless of tomorrow's result.0-0 is as good as a win in my current books.Today's the day for a knockout performance.

They should rename that board Sad Café.
I predicted a smashing 1-1 but now where I know your players are no longer constrained by LvG's meal rules but can have breakfast whenever they please, I'd like to change to a 2-1 win for United.Its like WWE today with one of those, i ll give you a title shot but i want your career on the line matches. Van gaal wins, he will relieve some tension, if he does'nt, i think his career is over. Huge match for manutd, huge match for Mourinho. Something will give after boring 90 mins of football.It depends whether Van Gaal ditches his philosophy and allows the team to play with speed and freedom in an attacking formation - if he does that we may have a chance.
If it's more of the same however, the outcome will be the same and he should be gone.
Adapt or die.Whats the general feeling for the united fans, do they expect van gaal to walk if today ends in defeat ?
Van Gaal will never walk, his ego is too great for that. He will "leave by mutual consent" - aka sacked.Last edited:DDG2-1 Stoke

Shouldn't have put walked, a better question is do you expect him to be manager against us if the side loses today ?Wow is the poll results for real? Are you guys really taking the piss? The bookmakers have us at 2/1 favourites after all, surely we can't be that bad?
He shouldn't be, but you never know. If he doesn't win today and the performance is as dire as they have been of late, I don't see there's anything else he has left to give.
Have you been watching our games recently? Surely not, because if you had you wouldn't be asking that.- Status
