Louis van Gaal is back. Technically, he never left, but this season has been a parade of misery for fans watching him. He just seemed so serious, it was like he actually gave a f***. If there's one thing we know about the man who was once described, accurately, as a "cross between a weirdly angry pastry chef and a weirdly angry pastry," it's that he gives no f***s.
Remember when he bopped the camera? Louis van Gaal did not get anywhere near bopping cameras earlier this season.
What about the time he did the flying karate kick on the touchline? We haven't seen that kind of passion and lunacy from him since he joined Manchester United. He has mostly been busy forgetting his players' names.
And then, finally, the dam broke last week/this weekend. Van Gaal remembered what touchline antics are supposed to look like with a phenomenal diva against Arsenal.
The lead-in to the dive was van Gaal imploring his players to be hornier before their Europa League clash against Midtjylland (they were extra horny in a 5-1 win).
The clown prince of European soccer is back, y'all. Rejoice.

Yes you are. And we love you for it.
The rest of the league better watch out. The chicken man is coming.
