They are, but unfortunately I find it difficult to look beyond them for champions. They're a shit team in terms of the overall quality of their football compared to say City or Arsenal, but they have a style of play that's very difficult to combat. First and foremost, they're a massive team. De Gea 6' 4, Shaw 6' 1, Valencia 6' 2, Bailly 6' 2, Smalling 6' 5, Carrick 6' 2, Pogba 6' 4, Bog brush 6' 4, Big nose 6' 4, even Rashford and Martial are 6' 0. That is unprecedented in the history of English football. Not even Wimbledon circa 88 come close. It allows them the luxury of a game plan predicated on little more than lumping in cross after cross after cross in the direction of Big nose and Bog brush, knowing that it takes 2 men to mark either of them, and with defensive bodies then tied up in the penalty area it is almost impossible for the opposition to break out. The pressure then becomes relentless as it did today. They aren't a particularly good side, as I said, but they have just sufficient creativity in the shape of Mata, Rashford and Martial, and pace from Martial, Rashford and Valencia, which when allied to that unbelievable physicality, allows them to play effectively on the counter against better footballing sides, whilst grinding teams down at the other end of the table via an aerial bombardment from the flanks. I genuinely don't see them losing more than 4 or 5 games all season. A shame for football, but there you go
Massive team you say, hmmmmm

Goals per minute? Oh sorry, because the system is corrupt and we are oppressed.Anyone got a clue how Rashfoot gets a mention in the Top Scorer charts?

another option if Sergio is banned.... Sane on the left sterling on the right and Nolito up frontStill confident with Nacho in strike, he's still a very good forward for me.

And he's the only one to make the list why? Last week it went down 20, this week 25....
His movement up front would be great, could be an option.another option if Sergio is banned.... Sane on the left sterling on the right and Nolito up front

If our next Prem game wasn't against the scum there's no way Sergio would get a ban. However, because it's the bastard vermin he'll get a one-match ban.
