    United's defence looks appalling

    What's the point in having Di Maria, Mata, Rooney and RVP up top if you have people like Young playing LWB

    Now that is a massive embarrassment and LVG has seriously underestimated the UK league with his selection choice.

    Its not that bad De Gea in goal, Hernandez, Welbeck Adnan, Evans,
    Keane came on when Smalling went off injured so thats why his is playing
    its not great but should be good enough to win this match

    According to BBC, they've mustered one shot on target... And they have an England international up top.

    I don't think he's underestimated League One at all. One shot on goal is just piss poor, not a mistake or an underestimation.

    Personally I think it's hilarious.

    Can we all agree now that it wasn't moyes' fault they did so badly last season. Ferguson' brilliance was ultimately now a hinderance. He got regularly got brilliant performances out of above average players.

    Classic mk dons, their fans are more interested in getting autographs from united players. Also says a lot first thing LVG does is go over to sign autographs rather than shake Karl Robinson's hand.

    I don't like MKD, but that is a hilarious scoreline. I remember on a train to the NW a couple of years ago seeing loads of Man U fans getting on the train at Milton Keynes, so a perfect chance to watch their local team :-)

    Probably the BBC website then, I was getting 9:1 in favour of MK! That said, it jumped from 2-0 to 4-0... Website is shocking.

    Btw, nice quotation skills ;)

    Does this mean Karl Robinson gets another 6 seasons to try and get MK Dons out of league one?

    Incredibly overrated

    I had the "pleasure" of living in that concrete dump for a few months back in 2009/2010.

    Can remember many an evening going for walks of an evening with the lovely young lady (a dance student) I was wooing. Upon going to the train station on several occasions I remember remarking on the number of Arsenal shirts at the station, making the journey down to Euston...

    To quote the lovely lass in question, "What's wrong with that? It's not like the Dons are playing at home. You come from London, surely you support Chelsea or Arsenal but Charlton is convenient when there's no London matches?"...

    Needless to say, she was soon left to live a life of pining after that dreamy young gentleman from South East London.. Fecking Chelsea.

    She may have been a dancer, complete with a pole in her room, but some things can't be unsaid. She's now living a hippy lifestyle on a canal.. Unwashed as well as offensive.

    So many seem to dislike / not rate this.guy and I just don't get it. Think he is a bright manager who has worked well on a low.budget and get his teams playing excellent football.

    Certainly one for the future imo

    Van gaal is making Riga look good this season!

    At least we're not Man Utd.

    Riga is good, he's in a far worse place than any manager right now.

    I'm afraid when things at United get this bad, you have to turn to plan M

    Edit: On a serious note, I've just seen Appleton has taken Oxford to the bottom of league two. Every season they've been unlucky not to go up. How does he keep getting jobs?!?!?!?!

    Me, Charlton born, Charlton supporter, go regularly to games. Now live in a nice market town 13 miles from Milton Keynes.

    I was amused at the negative remark about MK. The whole area has a mixed range of housing in differing areas, catering for those in need of social housing to those with plenty of money to burn. Travelling around the road infrastructure (a grid system based upon the New York concept) but with lots of roundabouts, makes travel very easy. The centre is magnificent with it's range of restaurants, cinemas, a theatre, ski dome and pubs; all within walking distance.

    To the game last night (I was there as a neutral). The MU fans were magnificent in their continued support of their team, who were poor. I was pleased for MK Dons, the ground was filled to virtual capacity and they enjoyed the biggest result of their relatively short history.

    Not the same as watching my beloved Charlton, but nice sometimes to go to a neutral game and leave the rose-speckled glasses behind.

    I've no problem with MK as a town just hate the football club for stealing another set of fans club and league place. The FA didn't allow it to happen to Maidstone so why did they allow it with Wimbledon?

    I think I may have been a little scathing.. ;)

    In all honesty, I was living in Wolverton - and that was a stunning little town and steeped in history to boot. Not something I expected when I thought of "Milton Keynes". I do genuinely have fond memories of walking along the canal path of an evening (I did a lot of thinking during that time.) and can honestly say I never felt threatened, quite the opposite. (Oh, and a Starbucks in a Tesco - quite the novelty!)

    As far as Milton Keynes itself, I fell in love a little bit. I'm someone who very much loves London, and likes to go for a smoke break during work and look out at the skyline and little bits of "history". Yet there was something nice and cosy about Milton Keynes, there was definitely things to do - yet everything was compact, clean and simple. Although, I dare say had it not been for the girl mentioned in my previous post, my memories may have been a little less pleasant.

    The football? New town syndrome perhaps. I think attitudes will change, maybe/possibly/gradually beginning with this generation - this will actually be "their" football club, the one they "grew up with" - that will mean a lot. Yeah, family loyalties of Man U/Arsenal/Chelsea will be inherited - but this generation may actually have the Dons ingrained in their psyche like we do Charlton.

    I can imagine living there to be honest, I'm not sure about prices - but I would assume you'd get something a bit nicer for your money than down closer to London. It is probably something I would consider if I was single (or with a girlfriend with a different job) actually.

    (Reading this post you'd think I was pulling in my pension, I'm only 22!?!)
