wasn't RVP just unlucky with injuries? if not, then man utd are benefiting from his continued luck and cannot take full credit for performances so far this season.
Last season I really think had the Redknapp problems and the Redknapp for England things not come about they'd have been above us, to tall intent and purposes they had a better team...RVP was our saving grace I guess.

Some other clubs just don't have the squads to compete, we have due to our larger finances, they may not all be top quality but we have more quality to cope with the number of games for sure.

RVP injuries couldn't just be put down to back luck when he had so many of them, likewise Rosicky, Diaby, King etc.....these players just don't seem to be built for the game, either that or it's poor treatment of injuries (also very possible).
