Spurs beaten 3.0 at home. Say no more. Arsenal very lucky to get a draw. It took a wicked deflection, WBA should have had a penalty and Anelka should have buried his one on one. I guess when confidence is high, the luck comes with it. I think Norwich should have seen out a 1.1 draw had they been more professional. Jose would be under some serious pressure had that happened. Fine lines and all that. City got the softest ever penalty. I suspect the true table will start to show after 12/13 games. We have to be happy going into the international break.

I think the fact is that the gap at the top is decreasing due to the League strengthening as a whole. But the top of the League is weaker than it used to be. This was noticeable in the City vs Bayern match.

Agree you can't look at league until after more games but I for one am not happy lol. Long way to go yet but thanks to the emergence of Januzaj picking up the, 'Open' berth for LW or left sided attacker more accurately in a 4231 we are still a few players short. Evra and Nani still first teamers just shows how we'll continue to get pasted by better teams.

And need to factor in as a minimum next year Vidic and Carrick replacements too. RVP year after for sure too.

We are off the pace in terms of the league but light years away from competing in Europe now.

Could be worse we could be Scousers lol.

I'll get behind Moyes and the Team as usual but my observation from yesterday's game was it felt like we'd just won a cup semi when in reality we struggled at times to beat relegation fodder by one goal.

5 mins gone though it was looking oh so much worse.

I wonder what impact the De Gea save will have on Moyes United career. Fine lines and all that.

Have to be happy! Yes happy with 9th place! Having been beaten3 times. And a 27.5 million donkey. You are easily pleased.

Exactly, I wouldn't be putting my money on any results in the near future, games are so hit and miss across the board. The start whilst bad, isn't being capitalised on fortunately.

Yes Syd and by halftime Sunderland could have been home and dry! saved by a 18 yrs old who had a great debut.
It's not looking good.

Yeah, 9th place in the league, exact same points and goal difference as Aston Villa, two of our victories were against the bottom two teams in the league, we have secured a grand total of 1 point from teams currently in the top half of the table, and we have scored 1 whole goal against teams currently in the top 10. We should be ecstatic heading into the international break.

Danny, you just wrote exactly what I have been thinking, but couldn't bring myself to write. Fair play mate.

Syd

You are the eternal optimist LOL. Our next game will go a long way to tell us where we are. Other teams having clangers does help keeping the gap respectful but we still need to go out and win games.

I said a long time ago 80 points wins the league and 72 for a champions league place.

I am not sure how we can be happy, perhaps a little relieved because it could have been worse and we managed to beat the bottom placed team who have been in disarray. Lose yesterday and it would have been hard to say it wasn't a crisis.
We won a game we could easily have lost but it remains to be seen whether we have turned a corner. We might have done but if happy is realising we could have been in an even worse position than we are and that we have a young player with potential as long as we can keep him, and that I forget the pathetic transfer window then I am almost happy.

Yeah. Bloody delighted with the points, performances, transfers, tactics, defending, midfield, attacking. NOT!!
why are people so easily pleased?!!

She*p, sorry I was meant to put "happier", not happy. I don't think any MU fan is happy.
