Speak for yourself Mcmanaman - some of us think van Gaal is an utter cunt. And we're right.

Where was Pires? They said he'd be in the studio. Anyway, Wrighty doc coming up now. The Pires one yesterday was okay so maybe worth a watch, particularly as the voiceover isn't being done by Owen.

I really hopes Bellerin makes it at the club, on the spectacle of watching him play alone. Really good to watch.

Akpom a little like Gnabry is quite unlucky he has so much to contend with as he is a really good player.

Chambers looks calm enough to be in the side now, although the goal we conceded was all kinds of tragic. If they didn't know to be breathing down Falcao neck in that situation we really need to throw the defensive drills script out the window.

I really hope Wilshere realises just how much work he will need to do to get in this side and I agree that The Ox looks really ready to go. I really like his catalysing style influence on our attack.

Hard not to despair about Giroud at times though I am happy to have him.
