Only one team on maximum points

that's surprising.

Stoke away next. Should do them 3 nil.

Of course we needed a last gasp equaliser there last season - will be an interesting indicator of how far we have progressed.

Big game stoke considering city play Liverpool at 1230 ..

We'd played 3 and won 3 last season

Yep you had em champions sept oct

I still think City will take some stopping when and if they hit their stride later in the season. They're a bit of a mess at the moment because they're bedding in so many new faces. I am worried that they seem to have a nack of scabbing results now tbh.

I reckon they're going to give Liverpool a walloping on sept 9th

only one team having 100% wins after 3 games seems unusual to me.

Think their lack of proper midfielders will cause them problems. All very well when you're dominating and a team is just sitting back but any proper midfield duels and they're gonna shit themselves.

Show's the lack of quality in the rest of the league, TBH.
The only top clashes so far have been Chelsea v Spuds & Arsenal v Liverpool.
But 3 of those teams had dropped points before those games anyway.

This.

We have by far the strongest league in terms of the quality of players plying their trade at midtwble teams and below.

I thought city would piss it, but looking at them they are still poor at the back and they play a really attacking midfield. He has to fit players in because they have that many good attackers which I think could cost them even against smaller teams so surely in big games he will drop an attacker for a proper midfielder? If not they will struggle in the big matches. Utd did win their first 3 last season but it was different, they look far stronger and dominate now and our attackers seem to have gained confidence. Matic is absolutely brilliant, I didn't realise just how good he is on the ball. We have a good squad with players to come in like Herrera. If we keep ticking over early on we could have a chance come May. If we go to Stoke and look as good as we have and win I may get a bit giddy.

We need a winger. Our current wide options stay infield which could make it hard to break teams down.

And maybe a LB if old fat arse doesn't come good this season

It's good to see Utd at the stage where we only need one or two additions each summer rather than four or five.

Exactly. Nearly there, pal.

So far so good ,but i remember 1 season early 80's we won 1st 10 games , and all the headlines made us champions before the end of october , don't think we finished in the top 3 . pretty confident we will get a champions league place at the end of this campaign , we might even have a few ribbons to go with it ,keep the faith my friends.
