Our fans paint a negative narrative to almost everything about the club. If Ferguson was the one who did this, everyone on here would be laughing at big Sam instead.See I think rather than being rattled like Rafa was, he will have relished being smug and explaining the situation like he did today. It's not like it's a new thing for him to act like this in a press conference. It's not like he's a nervous young manager acting out of sorts. He's beed doing this for years.
The trouble is that a lot of our fans don't like him, so they can't get behind that sort of arrogance and two fingers to the media. They'd actually like to paint a negative narrative to it.
It's just the sort of argument Ferguson used to love, he'd get a beetroot face and ban a couple of journalists and all our fans would say it's classic Fergie keeping control. Well here's Van Gaal, getting the hard stats out like most people on here do and saying "print what you like but you're wrong and here it is in writing".
Can't believe that people think this is a sign of LVG cracking up. I bet the majority here haven't watched the actual video. This is how LVG has always been. The Benitez meltdown was always overplayed by the media and supporters. Mind games? Even Fergie said it was overrated.
