you always do this. you're silent except when you think you think have an opportunity to take a pop at other sides. We're not in great nick, but then i cant remember the last time we were early on in the season. Best start for 5 years, and thats with half the side badly out of form. I would take that anyday. Take a look at at our results over the last decade at this time. Different teams same old pattern, nothing new here.wow i have only just found out the Utd-Bolton score as i was shopping but now i am a happy man indeed. This should be a massive wake up call to everyone at Chelsea and hopefully they learn from this because they can now write this weekend off. Like you Utd fans kept saying and rightly so that you had 2 more points that what you gained last season with draws against Everton and Fulham, well not anymore because you just lost them 2 points as you beat Bolton away last season 4-0. Look as much as people might not agree i actually respect Man Utd because when they set out to do things they usally do unlike many other teams but its clear that something is not clicking at the moment.
On the game now Ben Arfa is a sensational talent he really is.

but you keep going on about "something majorly wrong". its just united being slack at the start of the season, something we do every season, but cant seem to cut out. we are being much more aggressive in our play away from home, but its putting pressure on our defense, and they are not being switched on enough, hence high scoring draws.
Im just looking and last season we all know who won the league and im just looking at your first 6 results last season and you had 15 points after 6 games and this season you have 12. The difference was i think you could grit out results last season like in your 6th game against City.
exactly, as opposed to being away to a fierce reebok stadiumwhich was infront off 70,000 home fans which helps a great deal

yeah and then we had a dreadful next two months. it means nothing 6 games into the season. you cant draw conclusions this early onBut im just making the point that you started really well last season.

by the way, last time we won the league, we had 11 points at this stage...
ive not been. thats exactly what ive been trying to get across for vast majority of the thread, the results for this weekend tell you exactly that. lets see where the sides are in two months before we start seeing whether teams are dominant, or in trouble, and even then anything can happen. the lower sides are getting better at home, starting to show no fear, and arent just sitting back away, they will come to nick something if you slack off (arsenal)If i can't draw conclutions niether can you lol. And everytime Chelsea have won their first 5 games of a season they have gone on the win the league that season.

reading through the comments, he isn't. the only one making conclutions with your stupid "oh we have 2 more points than we did this time last season" theory. 6 games in and United are the only other team apart from Fulham to remain unbeaten. I may sound like a broken record but thats unbeaten after a far tougher start to the season.
yer you are unbeaten and its worth noting that, but you can't tell me Utd have been playing as good as they could do because if they was they would have maximum points. It just seems that a few players have no confidence this season at the moment. O'Shea has been poor, Evans has been poor, Fletcher has been more limited because of the form of Scholes, Rooney is out of form, right back seems to be a huge issue for Utd also. Im just saying i still thourouly believe the title will be between Chelsea and Utd but im just stating what i believe to be as Rafa would say ''facts''.
you've seemingly ignored anything ive posted. again this is nothing new at the start of the season. cant be bother to state the same things again. the facts that you are keen to state show the same picture every season start. we start badly, which playerd out of form and stillw e always stay in touch at the top. No crisis, no massive problems, just united being slow. jonathan wilson picked up on this in great article which is on this forum, suggest you take a read.yer you are unbeaten and its worth noting that, but you can't tell me Utd have been playing as good as they could do because if they was they would have maximum points.

didnt see the game today, but under houiller its a mini revival for him, has he got the side approacing the game in a different way?A small interjection:
Emile Heskey. :wub:
Heskey's on a goalscoring mission.
