we can only play what is in front of us and what the fixture list brings up, we are not responsible for it utd are, i mean the fa are is funny because if it was utd in 2nd place and played who we had you would be using the exact same argument i am to you. i agree with your point on paper better teams than us obviously, even Spurs on paper are probably better than us, but we are the ones in 2nd place. for once we are doing ok and you are doing your damnest to put a dampener on things if you can, but you are a manc to be expected i suppose.
???? What you (not you specifically/as a group) have been doing is extrapolating your form in past matches to future matches. of course no one could predict what might happen but you played one big team away Arsenal and you got no points. Therefore on current form...
But that supposes that United are still a top team. On performance so far that contention is up for debate. Now we have already beaten United so it is up to the other top teams to ascertain if you status claim is still valid. Sounds harsh? Well it's only applying the same expectation that you (and others) have been applying to Southampton's prospects).
Despite you guys being poor when we played you, we've played two "big teams" in Man Utd and Arsenal. We won and lost respectively which gives us 1.5pts per game. You've faced four; Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal. You have gained four points from these games; 1.0pts per game. Keep trying though
Leaving that aside, I didn't go with any historical assumption of a top team. My comparison was based on the current top 8 teams including the Saints..
Oh dear dear. Keep up will you? My comparison used the current top 8 teams and that includes the Saints...
Ok, based on current top eight: Liverpool: three games and three points = 1pt per game Man Utd: five games and five points = 1pt per game. Well done
