Man Utd always start the season badly

August–December [edit]

Manchester United started the season by drawing their opening two games against Reading and Portsmouth.[2][3] United lost Wayne Rooney to a foot injury picked up against Reading and Cristiano Ronaldo to suspension after he was sent off for appearing to headbutt Portsmouth's Richard Hughes.[4][5] A derby defeat to Manchester City saw the club slip into 17th place in the table.[6] Results elsewhere pushed them into the relegation zone for the first time in years.[7]

That's from wiki 07/08 season.

Squad rotation. Boh.

And from 1st March in 08, we won 8 drew 2 and lost 1.

Yeah, we were good in the run in then. Just as well, as Liverpool were quality that season.

But as a whole Christmas is a good time for us Kag.

So if Treble hunting was SAF's excuse for a poor start, what the dangnammit was Moyes'???

But as a whole Christmas is a good time for us Kag, you're right**

"There's this myth that we always end the season well based on clawing Arsenal and Newcastle back 15 years ago, but it isn't really the case. A while ago, I read a stat that completely refuted this myth, albeit I couldn't get it right now."

I read that as well. Arsenal and Chelsea have historically been the best in the league over the last 10 games.

United are always best in the 2nd half of the season so I wouldn't be overly concerned at a slow start.

I think a lot of that is to do with squad size.

He isn't going to have that problem with us.

By the way, they got off to a great start last season.

-----------------
I read something from Moyes as to the reason for that VC

He apparantly changed his pre-season routines in order to combat the slow starts and it worked

I beg to differ, not many do I agree but the great Hassan Nasrallah certainly does.

RVPs, I recall that you were particularly strident in your condemnation of Suarez for racially abusing Evra. However, you descibe as 'great ' the leader of an avowedly racist organisation. How bizarre
