Heck Manchester United slipped up badly today.Beaten by West Brom,lucky for them other results went their way.Moyes might be having sleepless nights.I wonder if SAF had an idea things were going to happen.I also thought like the last post The other teams fell away last year and handed a not too good Man U the title.Must watch MOTD tonight to give them the once over.

Ferguson had seasons of uncertainty when he first arrived in Manchester, and he'd come from a big and successful club. For Moyes to be given any less time to establish himself would be incredibly harsh. I appreciate that this may be a naive viewpoint but there we go.

I think he is an excellent manager, who has done well with f*ck all money. He can clearly get the best out of his players and I expect that Man Utd will be an excellent side in the next two or three seasons.

The difference is that he has man U's previous success as a yard stick to beat him with. It's just like Liverpool's success before the 90's, every manager that came after was expected to match that success, it weighs heavy on the shoulders and mistakes crop up as a result. Never the less, I'm looking forward to tonight's MoTD.

have to say came over me when I saw this afternoons results, well except Palace's. But then I was pretty resigned to this before we kicked a ball.

Eek! Just eek! I've just seen the results. Have they been putting funny stuff into the Manchester water mains? 5 of us haven't scored a single point, Spartak picked up one and clever clogs Brodie managed a 3-pointer.

For all that everyone knew they aren't that great, most of you guys picked 3 to 4 nill for them ;-)

Hey, you guys knocking from the sidelines, you can show us how good you are by placing your own predictions! There's room on the spreadsheet for a few more (join in on 7 points) I'll post the next round up when this round is over. First player to nominate a team after the end of the round will get their team on the list. Which, so far, is....

Manchester United
Manchester City
Newcastle
Norwich
Tottenham
Sunderland

So did anyone predict West Brom's win at Old Trafford

No, no one. I expected a galvanised United team to do a bit of flat-track bullying. Slightly misjudged that one!

Absaloute shite !

Absaloute s***e !

I concur heartily.

So, @ianrauk , what's the standoff between Mata and Mourinho - I thought that maybe as a blue team supporter you might have an insider's perspective. He was, IMO, Chelsea's standout player last season. A wee power struggle perhaps?

JM has just realised at how good Mata is.
He will play Mata in the next match.. you wait and see.

It was always clear how good he is, though. That's why I asked. I wondered if there was a power struggle thing going - a sort of ''I'm Mata'' versus ''You don't matter."
