The media have spent weeks bigging Solskjaer up, he’s got a £800m squad to work with FFS.

It's quite comforting to know Utd are now playing like the Albion.

It's not been the best weekend for us, the worst part being outplayed yesterday.
A couple of months ago, many NSC’ers wrote off Stains and Watford as down, but who would take the third relegation spot?
With three points for a win, 30 plus matches to play and each club having spent £100m upwards on talented players, nothing is decided in October.

Apart from this season the team just surviving in fourth from bottom may need 38/40 points more than we had last season

Eight points off bottom spot - christ!
It'll be interesting to see if Potter's football will be as expansive in the second half of the season as much as the first with more pressure now. Tottenham away might be the first indicator.
There's enough in the squad to survive easily but if Norwich pick up as well then it could get ropey. Will Potter want an FA Cup run as a distraction? Well, the form MASSIVE are in, he'll need to play the first team because a youthful League Cup team and I can see a replay up there or elimination.
A wake-up call after yesterday.

Yesterday we were second best and deserved to lose.
The kicker is all the games we were first best in, and failed to capitalise fully.
Imho, taking the game to Spuds as we did at the Etihad and at home to Leicester second half, will gift huge spaces for Son and Alli to run into, and a big defeat. Is there a pragmatic balance to be had? Sheff Utd and Newcastle always leave plenty of bodies back in a great defensive shape.
Agree, Bozza.
The festive period could see the table change hugely. I wouldn't muster up much enthusiasm for the FA Cup tie after throwing the EFL Cup Villa match almost.
We'll be ok. But it could be more points needed this season.
Chelsea have made a very bright start. Can the sorcerer keep it up against his old master? I think Spurs will come back and win.
Mason Mount is becoming a classy PL player. Glides past players, creative, great awareness of team-mates. An upmarket Grealish, without the constant cheating.
Boy the players hate each other, easy to see a sending off second half.
Chelsea fans celebrating at and laughing at the Spurs end.
Spuds fans boo at the whistle for HT .... so not just an Amex thing.

Moussa Sissoko is a snide in the tackle. I remember him doing that a few times at the Amex, a cnt of a bad loser.
Son banned for the Albion game. Violent conduct.
Deserved, repeated raking his studs into the midriff.
