8,7,5,6

Soccer is a number game. The numbers above sum up Manchester United's season so far.
8 games played, 7 goals scored, 5 consecutive victories, 6 consecutive clean sheets ( including the
Champions League win against Lisbon but excluding the farce against Conventry of course), which leaves us sitting pretty atop the EPL table, albeit below Arsenal, who are firing on all guns this season.

An average of less than 1 goal scored per game, which implies that our much-vaunted offense is simply firing blanks. On the bright side, we can only get better once Saha is back to full fitness. In the meantime, we have to thank our back 4 and van der Sar for their solid defending. Of course, Carrick and company are also contributing by dropping back and coming in with timely tackles.

Suffice to say that we are just getting warmed up, so game on, and hopefully we can outgun the Gunners when we meet them.
