On the United result - I would have been happy if they had won that game. Main reason being that when a team like them loses - and their next game is at home, they will be under tremendous pressure to perform and win with the baying Old Toilet crowd behind them. That may elevate their performance against us, and given we are coming back from an international break, it is hard to predict how tired some of our players will be especially the boys from Brazil (are they going too ?). We have not won at their place for quite a while now, and to be honest despite our position at the top - there are some performances we have put out that have not been that great this season - specifically where we have lost control of games and have managed to just hold on. Yesterday was a close call for us, and to think last season they were utter shit, but we still failed to beat them or score a goal against them.
Some of you may say that a draw away to United is good result, but the truth is if we are going to win the title, we should be winning these fixtures if they are as bad as the table. That was the difference last season between us and City, they won against the likes of United, and Everton but we should have at the very least beaten Everton.
