City lost here but look at their shiny squad.

United drew here but United always come good in the second half of the season.

We have to wait until Arsenal play City, Chelsea, Barcelona, Brazil and The Hurricanes.

8 goals in the league, 15 in all competitions.

Flamini too with a brilliant cameo

Getting goals all over now.

We have to believe now. When the bigger tests come we have to remind ourselves, that we are a the best team in England

Whole game is being shown on Sky Sports 1 at 8pm, I think.

That's right. We ARE the biggest test.

I read that back, and I'm hearing Bryan Cranston saying "I AM the one who knocks"

I do wonder if the media will ever acknowledge how good we are defensively now.

Nah, they'll continue with the perception. Every goal we concede will be held up as proof.

Stewart Robson today: Despite their defensive record, they aren't a great defensive team. :wacko:

We started by shipping three on opening day, which reinforced the view that we are soft defensively.
Whilst we were on the run of games right after that, we were still letting those dross teams score against us.
Strangely enough, it was during that time that we were shutting the 'tougher' teams out... 5pur2, Liverpool, Napoli.
But for the moment, yup, we are the form team defensively.
It will take a lot longer than a month for the media's image of our defence to change. Let's face it, they were still in Invincibles mode as to how we're such a great counter attacking side until last season... 6 years behind the curve.

we've faced this list of strikers this month

van Persie
Rooney
Lewandowski
Reus
Suarez
Sturridge

And only conceded 1 goal
