    I know folks like the “ree Spurs are gonna stumble” comments but I think a title race with Spurs would be so much more fun than with City. If we can enter the end of the season with Spurs and Arsenal both with a small point advantage on City then that could make for an incredibly entertaining run-in.

      I’m glad they aren’t falling into irrelevance and have been playing well and I think Ange could get them CL football but I don’t see them being title contenders at the end of the season.

      I wasn’t expecting them to be this good, that quick and they have been playing really well but I’m wondering if they have the depth and quality to sustain this over the entire season.

        It’s also worth noting that they’ve played all 3 newly promoted teams already, and we’ve done none of them. Their schedule has been undeniably easier than average, and they struggled against some of them. We’ll see. I want them to be shit, personally.

          But they are shit! And quite frankly always will be 😀.

          But seriously they do need to keep this momentum going into their next 4 league game because the 4 after that are going to be brutal (Villa, City, West Ham, Newcastle).

          I’m personally enjoying watching United crumble this season and their win this weekend is only going to gloss over what is a terrible start to the season.
