We have more chance of seeing a King Panda's hard on that this happening!You all know we're going to win 3-0 and play brilliantly.
Replace glass of wine with P45.So we are expecting Van Gaal to walk in for the press briefing with the wine glass at 3:30??
This sounds eerily realistic.van Gaal I reckon will revert back to a few weeks ago and demand no one goes chasing for goals like the last few games where we have looked more threatening but capitulated at the back, he'll then hope for a one nil bore fest to save his job.
However I believe with Arnautovic, Shakiri and Bojan they will be too much for us on the break so I'm going for 2-0 or 2-1 and LvG being sacked the following day.
This press conference will no doubt be about how the players and the board are behind him but he knows its a results business, we are unlucky as we just need to finish our chances, we dominate possession and its still a process Zzzz
Whats the point? We have a game a day later against the Champions.van Gaal I reckon will revert back to a few weeks ago and demand no one goes chasing for goals like the last few games where we have looked more threatening but capitulated at the back, he'll then hope for a one nil bore fest to save his job.

To put the guy out of his misery. I doubt him being there for Chelsea will have a more positive effect than him not.Whats the point? We have a game a day later against the Champions.
1961 I believe.When was the last time we lost 4 in a row in all competitions?
Really? Given the circumstances, now I can't wait!!!!!!Never been less looking forward to a boxing day game. How are we still favourites with the bookies?
I like your optimism, but i just don't think LVG or the players have got it in them. There's been enough times when we've needed them to stand up and be counted this season alone and they've let us down every time.Really? Given the circumstances, now I can't wait!!!!!!
Feels like SAF vs Nottingham Forest all those years ago.
Our players need to get motivated as though its the last game of football they may ever play. If LVG can get really inside their heads and put some good old passion into our play, we will spank Stoke.
A big victory will change the entire mood and inspire the beginning of our revival and the last phase of the LVG process.
It's lvgON
I have. It would always be during the SAF era after a mental starting line-up was announced. Inevitably, every time it happened, we'd always end up playing the other team off the park and winning.I've never seen 50-60% predict a loss. We really are sh!t.
People can't see the wood for the trees.I've never seen 50-60% predict a loss. We really are sh!t.
The size of the club doesn't dictate the scoreline, it's not like big clubs never lose to small clubs, happens all the time. If this was Burton albion or mk dons I'd agree, but stoke beat Chelsea last season when they were on shit hot form (maybe even twice actually), theyre a good team who shouldn't be under estimated. That's what causes big teams to lose to small ones actually, getting too cocky.We will lose. It disgusts me to say so but its true. With all due respect, a club like Man Utd should not be losing to f'n Stoke. Yet it will happen. I am p'd right now thinking about it. I've gone from dreading match days to anticipating failure. Sickening.
Feckin' Stoke scum. Get on your own forum.I've never been more sure of three points. 3-1.
I think the first goal is also going to very important. If Stoke somehow get an early goal like Bournemouth, it could all downhill from there. An early goal from us can give players the confidence which been missing for the last few weeks.The way the players come out here will basically say if they themselves back Van gaal or not. If they go out, and play the same slow, safe football with not too much passion, then they're probably fine with him leaving and we won't win. If we come out guns blazing, everyone giving 100%, then I'd say it'd be pretty clear that the players back him. We'll see I guess.
Wrong threadI'm going for 3-0 win for Jose's first match
I've never been more sure of three points. 3-1.
Didnt know we had so many Stoke fans.We will win this one. I am sure of it.
