United went to the top of the Premier League today after beating Stoke 2-0 at the Britannia Stadium whilst Chelsea were soundly beaten 3-1 at Wigan.

Enjoy

Although it is still very early in the season, a quick glance at the table even at this stage probably tells you everything you need to know about how close this is going to be between Chelsea and United (I still believe the winner will come from those two).

We have both played seven games, won six and lost one. We have both conceded six goals but we have scored seventeen to Chelsea’s sixteen. That’s about as close as it gets at this stage.

After our shock defeat to Burnley in just our second game, things didn’t look too good and with Chelsea tearing away to a run of six straight wins, they were starting to look back to their unbeatable best and a defeat at the hands of Wigan looked highly unlikely.

But there we have it.

I promised myself I would try not to mention Ronaldo this season but the thing that was asked after we announced the decision to sell him was: Where will the goals come from?

As mentioned above, we have scored seventeen goals in seven games but perhaps most pleasing is the fact that there have already been eight different scorers in those Premier League games.
