EPL: Round 5

[moomba]

To be fair Ferguson came to our place and parked the bus a few times.

But with him it was a departure from the norm. With Moyes it seems more a football philosophy.

 

[Kompany]

Great shot.

Vidic thinks it's funny.

 

[moomba]

Kompany just shows no respect for his nose.

Theres a great gif going around of him celebrating Nasri's goal too.

Great analysis of the game.

 

[Lockyer24]

Lingard slotted 4 for Birmingham this weekend at least

 

[Cooldude]

Kolarov's great to have as a flat track bully full back, absolutely rubbish when you don't have full control of the game

 

[glenferry23]

Moyes bitching about the fixtures again. Embarrassing himself even further.

 

[FAITH]

I agree with kizz seems like moyes doesnt realise he isnt at a midtable club anymore

 

[Magma]

Kolarov's great to have as a flat track bully full back, absolutely rubbish when you don't have full control of the game

the thing is he wasn't made accountable. everyone knows he's awful at defending. yet they attacked him about once. and that one time valencia beat him. and then they didn't really try it again. amazing.

then valencia didn't track him back and he was allowed to do what he wanted. again, if there's one thing kolarov can do, it's put in a cross. kolarov did what he wanted because he was allowed to. absolutely ridiculous.

Zonal marking summed it up best. Rooney was forced to hold the ball and when SAF was there, Fergie has two midfielders running past for the ball.

There wasn't any of that this morning.

Play like that every week and you'll be safe with ease IMO - especially when you have Koren and Figueroa to come back in

Yeah hope so but don't want to jinx it. Looked very good though.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah hopefully Graham can get on the scoresheet soon, the rest of his game is class. Playing West Ham next weekend, hopefully another 3 points in the bag and a step closer to safety.

Another one of your guys who really needs to break his drought is big Tommy Huddlestone. That afro is going crazy!! Think he made the bet nearly 2 years ago now that he wont cut it until he scores

Paulinho isn't getting nearly enough love in here.

Has he said why he isn't playing Kagawa?

At least Mourinho's given his reasons...

What was it?

Said in an interview today/yesterday that he's beginning to regret the pledge hahaha. Every week I hope for 2-0 - Huddlestone and Graham scoring.

 

[moomba]

They should have clippers on standby at games. Shave the lot off the second hundredstone scores.

 

[jod23]

We are well behind the other top teams, spurs and arsenal will both give us big hidings IMO.

We'll probably battle for 4th.

Apparently the last team to win the title after getting just 7 points from the opening 5 games was your lot back in 92, the first season of the Premier League. Not a good sign for winning the title. Still so early but United havent looked great. They have had a tough start, hosting Chelsea and away to us and City but getting 1 point from a possible 9 is not good.

Im sure United will bounce back. Will finish top 4 but wont win the title I wouldnt have thought.

lol it's 5 points.

 

[jod23]

lol it's 5 points.

It's a stat. I didnt make it up, just pointing it out.

So just a normal United slow start to the season?

 

[SM]

So just a normal United slow start to the season?

If it were normal stats would indicate that teams had won the title recently with this sort of early return. That's kind of the point.

So basically pointless stats?

 

[SM]

So basically pointless stats?

How is it pointless? No team since the first season of the Premier League has won the title with a return from the first 5 weeks equal to yours. How is that pointless? It's only pointless because United are pointless.

We have seven points. If we were actually pointless then I would be worried. If City and Chelsea lose on the weekend and we win we are equal with them. If Arsenal and Spurs fail to win we are two points behind them.

The only teams that need to be worried about where they currently sit are those sitting in relegation spots.

 

[moomba]

No positions have been determined yet. United very much still in the title race.
