The EPL is always full upsets, all big teams have gone through this. When you play teams like Wigan, Bolton, Wolves, West Brom, Blackburn, Qpr etc you expect to get all three points anything other than that is an upset....they are all easy fixtures as @Smano had pointed out sometimes back. In the words of Arsene Wenger "It was the kind of game that if you play it 20 times, you win 19 and you draw one - and it was this one, which we could not afford." I'm almost certain Basel and Benfica will be dismantled in the knockout stages of the CL.
Just the other day Arsenal thrashed Wigan 4-0 away, that doesn't mean we are now better than Chelsea because they drew with the same team....they just had a bad day at the office.
@Taz, my point exactly. Even from your latest analysis, there are no easy games (on paper-yes, in actual sense-no). So United are not winning because they are playing fairly easy games.
