Rooney more than doubled my fantasy league team's score today, ill get more points if Palacios, Mascherano or Torres play well, hopefully though, Palacios will be on the winning team though, lol -

if manchester united cannot put 3 or 4 goals past Birmingham then clearly the team is way off the pace. if Newton Heath actually want to win anything season it will require a dramtic improvement from every player. united started the last 2 seasons poorly though so no need to hitting panic buttons

and yes there will come a time when united's success will stop, it cant go on forever. probaly when SAF leaves will be when things start to tumble

Tottenham doing great so far, look more likely to score atm
