In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
You think I wanted to know what this abomination is called?
It sounds similar to the worst type of German music.
Thought he was gone when I saw the thread title.
That's not what it's called. Brabant is a province and they like this type of crap, so I said Brabandische Gemütlichkeit.You think I wanted to know what this abomination is called?

Me too, happy it isn't the case.
Alright sorry, I googled it and some song came up, so I thought that was it.
Out biggest hit this year for those who hate music but like drinking pretending to like music.
I'm just amazed that the Dutch have the same kind of garbage music as the Germans.
Ffs! This thread title. Panicked for a bit there.
United, the Premier League and everything that comes with it, chewed him up and spat him out. I actually found his football entertaining and attractive to watch when he first took over. But because his 532/352 didn't get instant results the pressure became immense because its all he was ever questioned about. I felt he changed his approach as a result.
Or at least that's how I remember it.

It's pretty decent in your local football canteen after 4 pints and some fried food like bitterballs.
I think his 4-3-3 was better to watch. I remember us dominating Liverpool at Anfield. We had that trip of Herrera, Mata and someone els. His 3-5-2 wasn’t suited for the players we had. We bought Di Maria to play him where? As a CAM? And didn’t Leicester beat us 5-3 with that.
The fecking smurfs and James Last. Golden Earring weren't bad and Focus did some good stuff. Jan Akkerman played a mean guitar.
His diving on that touchline will always be one of my favorite United memories post-Fergie. OH, and "fat man".
There was a certain charm about LVG...
his football, at its absolute worst, was somehow even shittier than the worst of Moyes, Mou, Ole, Rangnick, ETH.
It's like he wanted you to hate football while watching it.

He changed his approach after Leicester pulled our pants down in that 5-3 loss. That was the origin story of the Van Gaal snoozeball that ended up with me coming very close to hating watching our club play football.
It wasn't quite as bad as it got right after that though. We still had that run where we beat Liverpool, City and Spurs with Mata, Young, Herrera playing very nice stuff. Then the next season Rooney's legs were completely gone and Memphis flopped and Schneiderlin/Schwein came and the arse completely fell out of Louisball. Things may have been very different if we'd had a good window in Summer 2015 instead of the garbage we bought.
This thread title really needs changing.
Whew that thread bump and title scared me also.
I loved him at Bayern.
He is such a special and interesting person.
I think without him and his work we wouldnt have won 2 CL titles in the last 10 years.

I really liked him as a personality too. Most I've liked a manager post Fergie. Really wanted him to succeed here.
Geezer
Golden Earring are fecking amazing. "Not bad" my arse.
I preferred Focus myself. Saw them a few times, once in Amsterdam. That was some concert.
It was Carrick-Herrera-Fellaini trio with Mata on the right. Worked really well. Soon after Carrick got injured and we tried with Herrera at DM but that couldn't work as good.
James Last was German.
But how could you forget 1975 Eurovision winners Teach-In? Dinge Dong was a classic of its genre, despite its misuse of the word “uptight”.
And it was around a shared love of Radar Love that our Sixth Form, a bunch of disparate characters if ever there was one, to bond. Well, that and United.
The poster I responded to asked about Dutch and German music so I immediately thought of my old neighbour, now gone from us, who loved James Last.
Dinge-Dong was enough to make you want to pull your own teeth out.
100% accurate assessment of the Van Gaal era, such as it was.
