Rags crowing again in work.

The typical Rag bastard - large as life when three points have been nicked. City win, MANUre lose, no sign. Back in the skirting boards and architraves.

How are these clowns seven points clear?

How is it possible that a football team as crassly inept as Manchester United can be seven points clear at the Premier League's halfway stage?
Despite two largely shambolic displays over Christmas, they are thundering towards 2013 bolstered by a Rik Waller-sized cushion over City.
United have 46 points - at this rate they'll finish on 92 - more than any team since Mourinho's Chelsea juggernaut plundered 95 in 2004/05.
In theory we are looking at one of the best teams ever. And yet look at them. Really, look at them.
Goalkeepers: A highly-promising but error-prone youngster with a dodgy beard who keeps getting dropped for a limited understudy whose only purpose seems to be to erode the other guy's confidence.
Defence: The biggest collection of crocks this side of a First World War sanatorium. It comes to something when a papier mache model of Rio Ferdinand has played more games than any other centre-back.
Midfield: United fans have been calling for Fergie to sign a top central midfielder to replace Paul Scholes for nearly a decade. Can we all just assume it won't happen? Scholes and Ryan Giggs should only ever be in the same side at a charity match. And even then they'd be getting run ragged by Jonathan Wilkes and Harvey out of So Solid Crew.
Forwards: OK, they're pretty good here. We can safely say, if it had not already been abundantly clear, that Robin van Persie is excellent at football.
And there you have it. Manchester United are a team blowing raspberries in the face of the conventional wisdom that you need to build your team on solid foundations.
They are little more than a bunch of excellent strikers routinely bailing out the gaffe-prone clowns at the back.
Fergie's chuntering over Mike Dean's decision to allow the second Newcastle goal at Old Trafford yesterday ignored one key fact - Jonny Evans didn't have to shin the ball into his own net.
Just as David De Gea didn't have to pat the ball into James Perch's stride, and the entire United side didn't have to leave Papiss Cisse unmarked 10 yards from goal. But hey, if there's an official you can blame - well, it'd be rude not to.
They have already conceded 28 goals - one fewer than City did in the whole of last season.
The United vintage they most resemble is the 2001/02 side, when the lamentable decision to swap Jaap Stam for a creaking Laurent Blanc led to defence-o-geddon - in this case 27 goals conceded in the first 15 games, of which they lost six.
But of course this side haven't lost six. In fact they have only failed to win four times, despite keeping all of three clean sheets in 19 goes.
They have spotted the opposition a goal no fewer than 11 times, yet ridiculously they have come back to win eight of those matches.
Alex Ferguson responded with a gruff "no" when asked if United can afford to continue going behind - but clearly they can.
It is this sort of thing that makes you wonder what will become of United when Ferguson does finally retire.
By any normal standard, they are a hopelessly imbalanced side with clear and urgent weaknesses.
They have less solidity than City, less creativity than Chelsea and arguably less depth than Tottenham. Even though the Glazers have blunted United in the transfer market, Ferguson could and should have addressed these issues, but he hasn't bothered.
Yet somehow he has them firmly on course to make it Liverpool+2 domestic titles.
Maybe, and Early Doors is going to go out on a limb here, the most successful manager in English football history does know what he's doing after all.

Ferguson gets away with it again.
Mike Dean's math report is understood not to include any reference to Ferguson's "criticism"
How come Barry gets banned, yet Ferguson gets away with everything?
Last week it was attmepted murder, this week it's an endless barrage of abuse at the officials. I know there are a lot of football fans who have commented on this going off the fans at work. Even Utd fans have commented on it
FA are not going to act now are they. If not now, then when?

This why there is so many inconsistencies each referee deal with things differently if it was clappenburg I think he would of reported it! What I'd worry about the same situation a different manager doing what BaconChops did to the same referee and then he reports him
