Why do pundits always write Man Utd off?

Why do articles like this come up before we play Spurs Last season it was the man with a plan vs the man without one and we beat Spurs 3-0. Man Utd 65 points from 32 games last season while amazing Spurs best season ever are on 62 points from 32 games and while Man Utd top the top third table like last season Spurs have a poor record this season.

This is hilarious considering Spurs can't score against a manager that hasn't got a plan while the Spurs manage has one

Only 3 players with digs to troll us with. You could say the same thing about any team without a keeper

I just clicked on what Letiss has tipped at 20/1 then see this. Are pundits programmed to say same thing or something. I know it could well happen and they will all be geniuses but comeon can no one else have a different prediction

Even one of the media asked LVG a question about his record being so good against the better sides but not so good against the lesser sides

So LVG has even admitted the shortcomings Same as last season and he should have learnt. We should have kept Hernandez he likes to run in behind and Wilson too.

Interesting I thought Joshua would win in 2 rounds and Mourinho was watching. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10237496/jose-mourinho-says-no-manchester-united-deal-has-been-agreed

Neil Custis and Mark :Lawrenson on MOTD2 Extra anti LVG. Even heard comical thing by Lawro saying teams goto OT now expecting to win and have a go yet we only conceded 7 league goals at home in 15 premierleague games by far the least in the premierleague. Neil Custis saying teams don't park the bus against Man Utd they have a right go at them

I was going to post Merson and Lawro will predict 3-0 to Man Utd ut didn't get time to

I thought he would predict Man Utd to win 2-1 and he did.
