A Monday morning poll question

Well another win in the bag against a weak opponent in West Ham has United right in Chelsea's slipstream where we like to be. SAF always seems to favor being just on the shoulder of the leaders and then at the start of the new year United kick it into gear. So far so good as far as United are concerned. Would we have liked to have gotten 3 points against Fulham? Obviously. And we should have gotten them. But other teams will drop points to Fulham this season so it could have been worse.

 

I thought in light of the fact that we are 3 games into the new season I would get a feel for what you have liked so far about United. What you are most encouraged about. So a poll question is in order.

Agreed.

Giggs was looking a bit like Ronaldo out there at times on Saturday. He looked quicker and trickier than he has in the last few years. I can’t imagine he will be able to keep up that kind of pace for a whole season, but both Giggs and Scholes are amazing so far.

Los Angeles is like Manchester. There is a red team that wins championships and a blue team that doesn't.

Would have went for Scholes and Giggs

But then I thought, as much as I love them, other people will need to fill their shoes once they have gone. So Berba sounds like a winner for me. He seems to have a little more determination this season to grab a goal, getting into the box more instead of hanging back and leaving it for others! Fantastic goal on saturday!

I was thinking along similar lines… Those two being awesome is great… but we’ve known for years that they are awesome, and they only have a limitied amount of awesome time left in them. Limits the upside on how excited I’ll get about it (a mere muted rumbling of deep satisfaction will have to do)

Glory glory Man United, AND the other MU, AAAAnd the Leafs. I think I need a drink now.

If Berbatov consistently plays like a world class striker alongside Rooney, who will find his form soon, it will put us over the top.

In a way it's a shame

when on form he is a brilliant player and has a sweet left foot. A pleasure to watch. Although this can do no harm to our title chances if he is going to be injured on off throughout the season, again!

That’s the only problem- he’s injured so often that it’s hard to remember what he plays like when he’s at 100%

I undestand

Scholes and Giggs still unlocking defenses and looking ageless, but with no one hitting the back of the net doesnt get the wins….So I’m saying Burba! Although, I don’t care who is scoring as long as the goals keep coming.

Off topic, but did anyone notice how good Rooney looked in midfield for England?

Disagree with

… the people who voted for Scholes & Giggs. Prior to WHU, Giggs played a total of 46 minutes, which he really did not have an impact on United’s season. Berba was, without question, the revelation of August.
