Derby lost. Good to see Gary Rowett doing well. Great guy and a cultured player

Poacher turned game-keeper
Looks a bad start for United so far but I'm pretty happy.
The main thing is 4th is very very achievable..
But we do look much better than last season despite the points total, the last 2 games we've finally competed with Chelsea and City and could have had something from both games.
All 3 penalty claims were fair enough yesterday and Smalling was an idiot. But Hart was awful. If the FA don't ban him for the head thrust at Oliver then they are more spineless than normal.. How can you get away with that, and then send the Villa guy off for a mere push..
Phew! Red Bull have said they're not interested in Leeds U. Wasn't sure I was happy to see them involved...didnt fancy following Leeds Red Bull @ the Red Bull Stadium in Crystal Palace colours! I said to Mrs tfg that if they took over and made major changes to the name, kit etc. I'd see if some started up FC Leeds Utd in Northern Premier League Div 2 and go follow them instead!
Oh dear! City down to nine men, and losing 2-1....Chelsea scrapping a draw....
Whats happened to Nottingham Forest! Losing 0-3, though Brentford are decent.
Forest pulled one back if anyones interested....
Very strange season in the EPL..
Chelsea look to be running away with it but the CL spots are up for grabs.
I've tickets for the United Saints game in January and that now looks a massive game as they are starting to pull clear.
Had teams like Everton and Spurs had better seasons LVG would be under much more pressure, its probably other results which have given him time rather than how we are playing. I'm not too concerned right now, injuries have been a huge factor in our defensive ability so that should improve.
As players bed in top 3 is very much up for grabs. Top 4 and a good run in the FA cup and it'd be a very pleasing first season.. not get top 4 and I'm not sure he'll be given a second year with the investment we've seen.
It's quite conceivable we'll see a huge change in management next summer with Wenger and a few others forced out.
footballs a crazy world..
Last season moyes had 21 puts from 12 games.. Rodgers has 14 from 12...
LVG has 19 from 12.. I do thin k we've progressed, mainly in that we're competing with the other teams, drew with chelsea, beat arsenal and gave city a real battle.. and we've got good new young centre half.. but I think moyes was under too much pressure too early and never recovered.
liverpool look awful, its just superb.
chelsea look by far the best team in the league.
Half an hour to go and City losing to 10 man Bayern! Think I'll go for my shower!
