That sort of thing is just not appropriate for the plebs. It's reserved for my platinum club signature.

That's a very elitist response to cover up your laziness to add two numbers to your signature. I'm very disappointed.

How hard can it be. For example you should be showing that we are -3 points and -18.75% and -4 points and -23.53% from last year.

After all the % numbers highlight a very different picture to the suggestion that we are 'only' 3 pts less than this time last year.

I'd also like to see standard deviation, normality curve & various infographics- for example a graph showing relative points on a game by game basis & other such vital metrics.

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well as my grandad used to say.

The Mancs at the back look about as bad as us at the moment and with the games they've started with they should have far more points on the board. The next games for them look tricky as hell inc. Palace who'll give them trouble imo if we can get some momentum going we can stick a few points between us and them in the top 4 race.

I honestly can't believe how well this season has worked out for us so far. We're glob got stumble into a top 3-4 finish and progress in the CL despite being awful. All in what was always going to be a transition year and without our best player.

[Muddled]

Fellaini's celeb reminded me of Downing cupping his ear. How very small time.

[dom9]

And Gerrard too. What a *******.

[Tee]

Have to say, come January if the Mancs sign a couple of quality CBs and another strong CM they will be more than a force again. Going forward they are so dangerous and fluid.

[Muddled]

And Gerrard too. What a *******.

Gerrard has enough brownie points in the bag.

Downing scores one goal and cups his ear. Fellaini scores one goal and starts circling his name.

You can say that again.

Are they? Game plan seems to me to get the ball to DiMaria and hope for the best. Van Persie, Mata, Rooney and Falcao have all looked far from fluent to me.

[Shaggy]

That's what I thought. Rooney's dog****, van Persie increasingly anonymous and ineffective, Falcao looks rubbish and Mata is class but flits in and out and has been very inconsistent. Di Maria is fantastic obviously.

[Chris]

Yeah, they've scored a few in recent weeks but they dont create much and there doesn't seem to be any good link ups on the pitch. They think they're going to do an us of last season, slight problem with that is Suarez is lightyears ahead of what theyve got and Sturridge now is a much better player than Van Persie, also looks better than the current Falcao but we'll see over the next few months.

Really hope Mourinho isn't the spineless coward he usually is there on the weekend.

If Di Maria is out or not on form they look pretty toothless tbh. I'm sure RVP and Rooney will have a game here and there where they'll influence games but not consistently and not to the level of Di Maria.

I have to say their DM in Blind last night looked very ordinary, scored a good goal but the defensive side of his game of which he's there to do looked poor.

You won't get that kind of commitment from a mere beef stopcock.

[Tee]

They create lots of chances and there play around the box is fluid, reminds me of us last season in a lot of ways with Di Maria their Suarez.

[danperkins]

Yeah agee that without Di Maria they would struggle everything goes through him. He has thigh strain but not sure if it's enough to keep him out, wishful thinking but with his running game he may struggle to be fully fit. Falcao seems very rusty, i hope it stays that way & Rooney/RVP haven't got going this season.

Di Maria has been a sensation, seems to be made for the premier league... has really kicked on over last two years and found that consistency he lacked to match his natural talent. Should be a fascinating battle vs Ivanovic. Blind,Shaw & Rojo look bang average. Chelsea,City,Palace & Arsenal in their next 4 games is fairly daunting & i bet they are worried. All it will take is 2 or 3 losses of them & panic stations will set in.
