Top of the League, again

Man Utd 1-0 Aston Villa

Another Saturday lunchtime kick-off, another £7 I'm not prepared to pay for PPV. Doesn't seem to be a convincing win. But three points in the bag is Good. I tend to take the view that unconvincing wins are better than playing brilliantly and losing closely and spectacularly. And good to have got off to an 'assured start to the season'. First objective is always to prevent the pundits saying "Manchester United are past it, out of it, finished, non-contenders." Second objective is to demonstrate that they are contenders. The rest comes after that, but probably not until mid-October, really.
