    But you won't get the benefit of Phil Neville's amazing insights

    I think i am the only one that feels certain and my reasons are threefold

    One- a team plays badly, i mean shockingly bad, how utd were playing and they still picked up points, then they played really well and dropped a few but generally picked up points then start playing okay to good and continue to pick up points.

    Two- the have very good players, they will gel at some point, and when they do they will be a strong side. Mourihnio is also a quality manager whether we like it or not. He has been successful both with and without money. Even if we say he is only successful with money he is at a club - where - he has money.

    Three- i have never experienced football where utd dont feck us royally even if we pick up the odd win generally we do an arsenal and all my mates and collegues give me permanent grief.

    If they dont challenge i will be pleasantly surprised. However I think I will be proved right, sadly :(

    Helps if they get weak refs all the time who don't like sending their players off as well.

    I think point three is the relevant one mate. <ok>
    Anything can happen, of course - but amongst those who don't remember the days before football was invented in 1992 there's a belief that Utd being at the top is somehow a Law Of Nature.
    It isn't. <ok>
    As for your "mates and colleagues" - just kill 'em all and have done with it.

    happiest mostly with 3 points, but a close second is a clean sheet. The rest is icing.

    The "gel at some point" one is a common fallacy.

    Maybe their players and manager just aren't actually that good after all.

    Who from Man Utd would you want in our side? De Gea?...

    Would take rashford on the bench
    Bailly seems quite good and would be competitive
    De Gea if he wanted to be there
    Quite like martial but dont know where he would fit in our squad.
    Possibly Luke shaw - but (credibility fecked here - i quite like moreno just wish he would learn to defend better, oh and shoot)
    I also think Pogba has potential, remove the price tag, that was utds fault not his. Not sure on his work ethic though. Not saying i want all those but i think they have good player. Like herrera, carrick is past his best but he is still a quality player. Valencia has been quite good to, think he is looking quite bulked up, very fast.

    I was a big fan of Mata, and I still think he has something, but the last thing we need is another 10.

    Looks like Boro has the best of the game in first half from the highlights?

    Traore is such a threat... if he could add any kind of end product he'll be playing for a top team

    I've only seen the highlights not the actual game but it looked like a typical Liverpool performance from this season? Some excellent attacking football (the second goal was beautiful) but looking nervous at the back and allowing the opposition to create a couple of good chances.

    About right? Always hard to tell just from motd.

    Come on Astro, you'd really rather have Can and Windy instead of Herrera?
