well done... man poo won. Although if you keep playing like that then the title will not be going to manchester... oh hang on yes it will 

very poor defence (which i expect to settle) but more importantly you look very weak in CM positions.... and I hope to god something nothing happens to sell out van persie 

RVP seems to be settling just fine (4 goals in 190 mins  ), CM looked OK to me (More worried about the wings as Valencia and Nani both look crap currently), it was the defence that was really crap, altho tbf little Rafael stood no chance with that big Oaf climbing all over him 

We still have Chicharito and Wellbeck should anything happen to RVP, as for him being a sell out I think he spoke to the manager every year about how they intended to progress and nowt happend, typical they should splash the cash once he leaves (once they cashed in!).

I still fancy Chelski for the title this season, defensively good, goals from all positions and ability to score freely, if southampton and Liver-Poo can score 2 against City I dont rate their chances against the bigger/stronger teams

I strangly went with arsenal for the title before it all kicked off... so I am sticking with that. I think man u are lacking in midfield.... we will have to wait and see i guess.

p.s. he is not a sell out because he left, he is a sell out because of where he went

So if he had gone to City or Chelski for the wages only to sit on the bench every other match he would NOT have been a sell out?  , I think the fact he went to United when other teams were offering higher wages (much higher in the case of City and other european teams) shows he is moving for football anf family life reasons not personal gain, but ETTO i guess.

I think between Kagawa, Cleverley, Scholes, Giggs, Anderson, Young, Nani, Valencia, Carrick, Fletcher (still not fit), Powell and a couple of junior members we will be OK in MF.

Arsenal only have 8 midfielders fit, but I dont see them challenging for silverware this season, maybe next season once they have knitted together

That seems to be the arsenal problem... just when they get a squad together their best players leave. Their first team when all fit, seems to be quite good though... they just need to make sure they are putting chances away.

Best not to let Giroud play then

You do realise I made that post on the 15th September don't you?

By the way, this is what I was referring to -

Probably the same section of fans who were throwing coins at 10-year-olds outside the Strawberry last night.

Good result tho and at last a clean sheet

Welcome along, your first post and straight into the football.  

Lifelong Lily White here!  

Am keeping my mouth shut this season and hoping for a top 4 finish and a place at the top table of European football.  Reckon its Chelski's title this year, as long as we finish above The Arse I'll be a happy bunny.

 

[andrewparker]

Yeah, it was a decent game. You were rampant in the first 15, I thought Rooney was excellent. I felt pretty deflated after the game, but on reflection we didn't play too bad and with a more experienced back four we might not have conceded at least 1 of the first two goals.

Looks like Van Persie will get a three match ban for the elbow on Cabaye. Pretty pointless when you've won 3 - 0!

Depends on what happens with Everton. They're looking great at the moment but I wonder if their squad is strong enough to maintain their current performance right through the season. I guess they don't have any European distractions this season.

[MC71]

^^^^ very true regarding Everton. David Moyes works wonders with little money and a non star laden team. Can't see them sustaining this for a whole season with their squad.

AVB has not grown on me yet, would have been well chuffed had David Moyes been offered/accepted the job. I truly believe he willbe the next Man Utd manager, don't think the Special One will get it.
