Charity Shield and first 30 mins today, they'll win it at a canter, the rest of the game today WBA were on top for large parts but Utd came out with the win, something in the opening weekend that Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all failed to do.
Lets not go mad either way after Monday night but Utd are favourites at this moment, and probably rightly so imo.

great weekend so far for us i reckon.
Arse look weak/dodgy again - their big signing Gervinho another Robbie in the making, and wenger is going to trip over his pride royally.
chelsea in a re-build phase, although Torres looks better.
Dippers - Adam not up to the pace of a top 6 team, weak at the back, Saurez will fade out and carrol is an expensive carthorse.
rags - Cleverley average (may become a good player in the future), vidic/wio out for a bit, De Gea another Gomez. Nani doesnt look happy. oh and shrek's fake hair is receding, there's gonna be confusion when they play norwich and BF is 70 this year hehe.

To be fair it is very hard to judge the season for anyone, only one game played, but I will agree the Rags seem to be the team to beat

Winning away in the premiership has become very difficult. Oddly enough the top three really struggled last year, only managing a handful of wins between them at the top-half teams. Stoke and Newcastle are stronger than WBA, so I think the results don't really indicate any change in the overall trend or the strength of the individual clubs.
You could say that Utd only need four more away wins to match last season but it's hardly an improvement, as they won the same fixture with the same scoreline.
City should have a bit more firepower this time around, two or three 0-0s and 1-1s should turn into wins.... and I can't see Chelsea going on such a bad run... so I'd expect both teams to get more points than last year. Utd had some luck last year but look liable to get around the same total. I really think there is nothing between the top three.
Arsenal are going to be very interesting. Wenger has clearly revised the tactical plan, they look more solid but lack some of the creativity. Personally I think it will take some time before they adapt, but with another striker and creative player, they could come very strong in the second half of the season.

What was (possibly) interesting was the fact that we didn't have a deep CM in that game; Anderson and Cleverley's positions were quite far up, considering they played in a midfield 2.
23 and 8, for those who weren't aware.
Not a great performance, but a game that I'm happy to get out of the way with 3 points. I think West Brom will stay up - 15th or so, maybe higher.
