Agree. Our noisy neighbours seem to be matching United win for win, goal for goal. Let's see if they can last the season especially when the games comes hard and fast with the Champs league, FA cup and EPL games all running concurrently.
Chelsea seems to be moving up a gear in recent weeks after the defeat at Old Trafford. The average age of their squad seems to be one of the oldest in the premier league. So it would be interesting to see too if they can last as injuries, suspensions start to kick in.
I read that Vidic, Cleverley and Smalling may all be back in contention for the game away to Pool after the international break. This is good news as United really looked tired and maybe thus became careless in the CL game vs Benfica and then laboured to a win over Norwich. Also hope that Ferdinand's form picks up real soon!
