As I said to you last season when you were top (giving it large), United often start poorly compared to the other big teams. We actually have one point MORE than last year and have scored far more goals and don't forget this is a draw at home 8 games in against an improved side, with cash and an ex captain of ours, wheras last season we drew the first game at home to Newcastle who went down. Actually come to think of it didn't we score a late minute goal against Sunderland at OT last season when they had that muppet Ricky Sbragia in charge? We really struggled that day attack wise.
I agree we have been average but its the defence as well as trying to bed in a new keeper due to injury. Don't forget it was arguably the record breaking defence + keeper last year that won us the title.
Regarding Drogba, I probably hate him more than any other Premiership player. Diving is one thing, play acting is far worse IMO.
