The Manchester teams are scoring for fun.

Both Manchester sides blowing everyone away. Pretty embarrassing that we can already forget about goal difference after only 5 matches.

The United team/attack isn't even better or more talented than ours is I'd argue. Just everything going for them this season like it was for us last year.

Crazy that man city had a goal difference and now gone in one game..

Rooney banned for TWO YEARS after drunk driving. How drunk was he? There goes your Rooney, motherf**kin media. Giggs slept with his brother's wife, Rooney could've killed someone while driving like that, and again Terry will be biggest villain of all! Speaking of anti-hero, right...

It is. Martial, Rashford, Mkhi would all start here ahead of Willian/Pedro. Could even make a case for Mata tbh. Their attack in general is much better than ours (-Eden).

Good! One of the most selfish things anyone can do. Just got lucky! Whereas others could've got unlucky

Not that matter much to him probably...and they'll be excuses from some always are

Ehhh. I don't know. Martial and Rashford are more talented but just as wildly inconsistent as Willian and Pedro. Mata wouldn't start for us at the moment. He'd be the same liability that Cesc is. Mkhitaryan is solid but nothing really special. Their attack was awful last season with the same players. Just so happens that the goals are coming now. 

Hopefully once Hazard is back to starting every week we'll look much better. That, and Bakayoko + Kante providing a platform for the attackers.

So far nothing really suprising at the top, maybe spurs struggle at home because of wembley. I expect the two manchester club to be the two best teams this season, they had two best squad last season and spend the most net spend this season.

Arsenal is still the same as always. The same thing for liverpool, brilliant going forward, leaky at the back  We looks ok, I don't expect us to destroy teams like last season as team get used to play 343 which is the main reason we won the league.

If it makes you feel any better, we had a GD of +20 after 5 league games in the 2010/11 season and look what happened at the end of it.
