Fight" with UFC champion Georges St-Pierre,

MANCHESTER, England -- Louis van Gaal has always said it could get worse before it gets better at Manchester United. He couldnt have thought it would get this bad. Barely two months ago, a jubilant Van Gaal was leaping out of his seat and high-fiving his Netherlands players as he masterminded a 5-1 thrashing of Spain at the World Cup in Brazil. Compare that to the glum, stony-faced figure of Van Gaal who remained glued to his seat during Uniteds humiliating 4-0 loss to third-tier club MK Dons in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday. To the right of him, Ryan Giggs -- a club great who is now Van Gaals assistant coach -- buried his face in his hands. Even though United fielded a virtual reserve team, albeit one containing established internationals like Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Shinji Kagawa, it was one of the most embarrassing results in the history of Englands biggest club. Following on from a winless start in the Premier League after two games of Van Gaals tenure, serious doubts are already being raised about the Dutchmans use of the 3-5-2 formation and the lack of depth in his squad, especially in defence. "The process needs time," Van Gaal said. "We know exactly what we are doing." Time is something United doesnt have. David Moyes only lasted 10 months last season before being fired, and Van Gaal has already virtually written off Uniteds chances of winning the Premier League in this second straight year of transition at Old Trafford. With no European football this season, the FA Cup remains the only genuine opportunity for silverware -- and it is still only August. The optimism of pre-season, when United won six straight games under Van Gaal, including victories over Real Madrid and Liverpool, has disappeared. Van Gaal is now left hoping a spending spree of about 130 million pounds ($215 million), capped by the club-record signing of Angel Di Maria for $99 million hours before the MK Dons game, pays off. Van Gaal has played three at the back in his time at United but his defenders look uncomfortable in that formation and the wing backs -- so crucial in a 3-5-2 -- utilized by the Dutchman have no experience in that position. Di Marias arrival will not just introduce pace and fresh ideas into the teams midfield, it might also mean United changing tactics. "We shall see if with Di Maria we have to change the system or not," Van Gaal said Tuesday. With less than a week before the transfer window shuts, the loss again highlighted the need for defensive reinforcements. Left back Luke Shaw and left-sided defender Marcos Rojo have joined but United appears to still require an experienced centre back. The defending was awful against MK Dons, with Jonny Evans -- a regular in recent seasons -- to blame for the first goal. Van Gaal didnt escape blame, either, with critics questioning why he felt the need to rest star players like Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Juan Mata when United isnt in Europe this season. Even with a weakened side, how could a club that won the Premier League 15 months ago and was playing in the Champions League final three years ago play so poorly against third-tier opposition that didnt even exist a decade ago? On Twitter, Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko tweeted "Hahahaha" after MK Dons second goal went in. With only the league to concentrate on until January, the loss may boost Uniteds chances of getting back in the top four and returning to the Champions League. For the time being, though, the embarrassment remains acute. "I am not shocked because I know what can happen," Van Gaal said. "A new team is not built in one month. "Its difficult for the fans, I know that, but they have to believe in our philosophy," Van Gaal added. "At the end, they can judge." Harmon Killebrew Jersey .

The Habs home grown reality series, 24 CH, is back for another year and its better than ever. A few changes have been made this year, as RDS will no longer be producing it. Instead, the Canadiens have hired their own team of creative masterminds to produce the reality series. The new 24 CH team includes content writer and producer Stéphane Laporte, associate producer Justin Kingsley, producer Stéphane Tremblay and executive producer Olivier Languedoc. Laporte is the top producer in Quebec for reality TV. He wrote and produced the very popular Star Académie, Le Banquier and La Voix. Kingsley is a writer, editor and production designer. He co-wrote "The Way of the Fight" with UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, which was a New York Times best seller. The half hour episodes will air on a weekly basis on RDS, Canal D, TSN and TSN2. Another change this year is the content within each episode will feature more of an emphasis on telling the stories behind the game rather than just focusing on the game itself. "We want to show fans the human side of the game, see how players interact with each other, the coaching staff and the training staff.dddddddddddd We want to bring to light that these players are more than what you see on the ice," Kevin Gilmore, executive vice president and COO of the Montreal Canadiens, told the media. From the players point of view, they have been very happy with the job the 24 CH crew has done so far. "They have hidden cameras all over the place, so it is really easy to act natural and not to be bothered by the cameras," according to Habs defenceman Francis Bouillon. P.K. Subban knows in todays NHL its extremely important to interact with fans. "Its all about getting fans closer to the players and allowing them into NHL dressing rooms. If I was a fan I would love to watch it." Episode 1 will air in French on Saturday October 5 at 6:30pm on Canal D, as well as on RDS following Antichambre at 10:30pm. The English episode will air on Wednesday October 9 at 7pm on TSN2 and on Thursday October 10 at 2pm on TSN.
