It's because Eredevisie isn't a "money league" like the big 5. And I don't care what people say about the Bundesliga, it's worse than La Liga - financially Bayern have a monopoly, the only reason Dortmund are up there is because they produce world class players faster than Bayern can poach them.
For once I am genuinely upset that Arsenal (who I still consider to be United's rivals, despite SAF's retirement and the Emirates Stadium not being home to a single new trophy since its construction) lost. Bad refereeing ruined the Many Faces of Woljech Sczezney Show :P. He is a hilarious keeper to watch, but his penalty save showed he's not completely useless. But Koscielny was unlucky with the 2nd penalty, and then to be sent off without even catching Weimann...that's just unfortunate. And I can guarantee goal No.3 wouldn't have happened if they'd still had both centre backs.
Gutted I missed the chance to watch United on t.v. too! Had work, and my family couldn't get the DVD to work. A good win though, sure Swansea had slightly more possession but you can't say we didn't deserve it. Van Persie's got 4 in 2 games now :D. Good to see Welbeck remembering how to score - one more and he's exceeded last season's tally, plus it means we have an Englishman joint top scorer! (Even if it is only the first day).
-Lapras- how can you possibly say The Fresh Prince of Old Trafford is the worst player in the world? He has everything - pace, power, work rate, skills (went wrong badly, but still), aerial ability and now even goals again. Somehow my brother also seriously dislikes him, which I just cannot understand.
Also, Valencia got an assist - I'm sure if he was still wearing No. 7 he would've stopped and passed that backwards. I swear that was all he did last season - put him 1 on 1 with the keeper and he would've played it to the man on the edge of the box instead. And Rooney got one too! I really wish he'd come out and say he wants to stay, he's a quality player, no doubt.
