It truly has been a crazy season so far, and not just in the Premier League. La Liga has seen their top two teams struggle to stay afloat, which begs the question:
Is there more parity in football?
It's no longer a given that a top team can go to a bottom team's stadium and pull off a win. Is this because the top teams are no longer top teams, or because the others have added confidence?
I would think it's the latter, which means the days of intimidation are over.
For United, the alarm bells shouldn't sound yet, as we are just 6 games into a 38-game season, but not having an away win yet is ridiculous.
Granted, Bolton is a tough place to play, but in the words of Sir Alex, "we gave up too many chances in the first half."
Kudos to Nani and Michael Owen for bringing us back both times. Nani scored and assisted on Owen's goal, which makes him my Man of the Match.
Owen saved the Reds for the second consecutive match.
The bright side of this is that United is the only team in the Premier League besides Fulham who haven't lost a match.
The down side is United have a tough week, with two away games, one a Champions League group match in Valencia, and one at the Black Cats. The latter might have a silver lining in that Danny Welbeck, who is on loan to Sunderland, will not be able to play against us. He has paired well with Darren Bent during his spell there but FA rules dictate that he can't appear against the side paying his bills!
Nani scores the first
That's right, 1 for the goal, and 1 for the assist on Owen's goal
Giggsy played well but hurt his hamstring in the process...out for two weeks
Kiko played well too but couldn't find the bag
VDS kept us in it
On his first touch after being subbed, Michael Owen nodded the equalizer
