Really dont think something's right behind the scenes. As above, what the fuck has happened?

To the author of the thread so you will win the league because United have an average keeper,that doesn't say much then about your confidence in your team. Do you not think it will have quite a lot to do with the £300m you've spent?
As for the De Gea,yes he's had some bad moments but since the Liverpool FA Cup game mistake he's been brilliant,He was Utd's player of the month & check out hos shot stopping,brilliant.He's not the finished article by any means but he's 19 & it's his 1st season in a foreign country so all at United are behind the lad

De Gea is 21 mate but your point still stands. He has looked pretty good recently and has been saving you points rather than costing them. I think he is adjusting well. If Utd win it which if I wasn't a Manc I may be putting money on I think the desire and experience of players like Giggs & Scholes are a big factor.
Enjoy the ride mate. Hopefully it will be close one way or the other. I'm praying after waiting a long time but at least we are challenging I should be grateful for that.

There is ONLY one common denominator for teams that have reached the pinnacle of Englands footballing elite and to have become Englands 1st Division/Premier League, over the past 40 years.
ALL have had at the time, a goalkeeper between the sticks who is if not the very best in the Country, is very close to the best, and on almost every occasion one who was playing superbly and at the very top of his game.
The records show this consistently year by year, for 40 years.
Arsenal -Wilson, Lukic. Liverpool - Clemence, Groblar. Forest - Shilton. Everton -Southall. Leeds - Sprake, Lukic. Man Utd - Schmeichel, Van der sar.
Chelsea - Cech. etc, etc.
Now I appreciate there may have been the very odd exception, but these were a long time ago and even on those cases ie Rimmer at Villa, the individuals at that particular time was in excellent form.
So I just can't believe, even with all the media bias, spin and mind games, that a team with a goalkeeper as poor as De gea, are going to break what seems to be an almost unwritten rule, and win our League with albeit a possible future prospect, but clearly now no more than a moderate at best stopper as their rear guard.
I have been saying this for a long time and with the superlative form of Hart I see absolutely no reason for us to sucomb to the fears that seem to be surfacing amongst many of us, keep up the belief, it is our year, and nobody, especially our Noisy neighbours will spoil our party, they just aren't that good!.
