what would you have said if someone told you United would be level on points with the leaders on January 1st?
Not getting carried away but it’s nice to be up there again.

I stuck £20 on us for the title when we were 20/1. We are now 11/2. Doubt we will win it, but it's looking interesting at the moment.

Think we were 100/1 with some after the Arsenal game.

Tonight was Bruno Fernandes' 30th Premier League appearance, with his penalty the 33rd goal he's been directly involved in (19 goals, 14 assists). The only player in Premier League history to be involved in more goals in their first 30 games is Andrew Cole (37). Talisman.

I read that as ‘his 33rd penalty’
Still, phenomenal record. Best signing since SAF, probably going back a few years of his too.

Isn't Culer Wahl? (And Got_Better and Divock?)

8 wins and 2 draws in our last 10. That’s title winning form.
On the flip side we haven’t beaten any of the bigger sides this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
we finished last season with 6 wins and 3 draws from our last 9, we've been consistent for a lot longer than some people realise.
which is why it was always a good bet that our first 4 or 5 games this season were due to poor fitness/lack of a pre-season, though it didn't stop a meltdown on here, with the usual nonsense spouted by the usual suspects.

We are 2nd in the league for shots on target.

I wonder if United could maybe win it with 2 or more games to go?? Nobody can match the consistency of United anymore and LFC are dropping points like a mid table side.

In reality he’s probably the best signing since Evra and Vidic and I include RVP in that.

The players still should not have let that arsenal performance and result happen regardless.
Analysis needs to be consistent and objective and, under that kind of criteria, it is clear that the quality required to get results in the epl has dropped over the past 20 months.
Of course, you can only measure yourself against the level of opposition available, but that does not exclude the comparative relativity between club squads across a range of seasons.
Neither this United squad - one of the top three sports clubs in the world let's remember - nor their, so called, rivals - from only the second most well known football club in Lancashire, let's remember - are anything like a challenge to 'the greats'.

What would I would’ve said?
Huh, I would’ve dug out me Pereira boxing gloves, dusted them off, and start punching seven shades of the good stuff outta ya..
I personally was giving Ole to Xmas to see if he could close the gap on Liverpool.meant more to me than C.L. A 33 point swing to zero is insane and beyond my wildest...
but it’s still early doors. Let’s see where we are in Feb/March.. But it’s a good feeling.
