The key to the seeming "decline" in UTD's play is the reality that other teams park-the-bus and have become somewhat more sophisticated in their defensive play. UTD are playing against a moving target, not a fixed opponent and, as you so rightly point out, there is nothing to suggest that this year's model won't be just as good as last year's team in terms of results BUT because of the narrow margins, there is nothing guaranteed. That's why they play the games. flaz stretford end: good analysis.

if john terrys penalty went in what would the difference between the 07/08 team and the 08/09 team – nothing in fact the 08/09 team would have excelled

07/08 08/09
CL runners up CL runners up
PL winners (87 points) PL winners (90 points)
world club championship (not entered) WCC winners
carling cup (third round) carling cup (winners)
FA cup (quarter finalist) FA cup (semis)

so in every competition united equalled or excelled their previous year’s performance all except for one Penalty kick. football is a fickel game and if united have lost this fear factor of which you talk about, then that compounds my argument that we have actually made a pretty good start to the 09/10 season

19 points after 8 games is comparable to 90.25 points after 38, the highest point tally for 2nd place is 89 in a (42 game season) i think u can safely say if we continue to get this point ratio we will win No. 19.

if chelsea didn’t score late winners against hull and stoke, and carrick coverted a penalty at turf moor. we would be the unbeaten reigning champions and they would be two points adrift. football is a game of small margins, the fact is nothing suggests that any team looks more likely to win the prem than united

some united fans just don’t know how lucky they are (but are they really fans?)

I actually don't know how you can say he was "embarrassing". Aside from a few stray passes which seemed to be the theme of the day he played well. He made a couple of bursts through the middle and was unlucky not to score. Our best midfielder on Saturday by distance and he only played one half. RDE – denton is bang on about Ando mate.
