Just shut up for a while, if you were one of the ones going ‘Oh, we were lucky’, or ‘We could have easily lost that!’.
We beat Chelsea 4-0. How often have we done that?! New starters were awesome!
Have some positivity for once!

Florida, man
We could have also scored more as well so who the feck cares. We converted the chances. They didn’t. They can suck my dick smooth from the back.

Gonna enjoy going into work tomorrow. Wouldn’t mind some bad weather so I’ve got an excuse for the scarf.

Great revenge for the 2016 Conte 4:0, but let's not get too arrogant about it. Chelsea didn't deserve a 4:0 thrashing. Don't remember too many Arrizabalaga saves, and they beat us on shots and possession.

We were below but still... 46% vs 54% so nothing outrageous, we had 11 shots vs 18 and 5 shots on target vs 8, I don't think we were below on any area, especially once we get into the content of the game and how they ended up shooting from far. The goal posts are a bit tricky because they give you the feeling they should have scored but... nah, they still have 0 goal.

It's fine because we also didn't deserve this 4-0 defeat in Conte's season so they drank from the same cup today.

I dont get where is the issue, if shit is not made up, dunno why it bothers others, having issue with certain aspects doesnt mean automatic denial of positives.

Strange feeling.
Any other season (including Moyes First season and Mourhinos last) beating Chelsea 4-0 on the opening day, I would be thinking we have a real chance of the title.
But deep down I know 4th is the best we can get, so not really excited as I should be.

Look at the match thread, at half time you would be forgiven for assuming that we were three nil down

I'm not anti Scottish, I just wanted Moyes out.

Same here. You can still see how hard its going to be to try for 4th so not heaven, but sure we can smile for 8 days.

I'm certainly positive, as my record last year was

9 home games - 4 United goals!

So I've equalled that in one game!!

As last year showed, momentum can be huge - in both good and bad ways.
So let's see how next Monday goes, and if we could win that we have a real chance of building a right old head of steam.

Ïf anything it was kinda a weird first round of the PL this year. All top-6 (except Chelsea) won really convincibly at the end but not without problems.
Liverpool gave away I dont know how many chances against Norwich, Spurs looked crap against Villa for 60 minutes. Arsenal looked even more crap against a disastrous side called Newcastle. Even City struggled with the physical side of West Ham until they VARed themselves to victory.
And we obviously had major issues in the first half against Chelsea.
This season is still wide open.

This season is still wide open? Surely you don't mean title is wide open?
