Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for his Manchester United side to build up a head on steam in the coming months.
A 2-0 victory against Blackburn at the weekend saw the champions get back on track in the Barclays Premier League, following their defeat by Liverpool. And on Sunday they travel to Stamford Bridge for a meeting with leaders Chelsea.
Ferguson said: "It is a tough league. We are experienced enough at this club to know how difficult it is to win the league. It is not going to be any different this year. The great thing about us is that we know it is a difficult league."
He added: "Mistakes are going to happen - you lose games you do not expect to lose. You go for consistency - and if we are in there in January we have a great chance."
That theme was taken up by by midfielder Michael Carrick, who said: "It is always a big game at Stamford Bridge, no matter what the occasion is.
"When it is tight at the top like it is, after the defeat to Liverpool we do not want to lose track on the big teams - and it will be an important game for us.
"At this stage of the season, it is just about accumulating points and seeing where you are in the later stages.
"The table is changing week-in, week-out. But after Christmas, things tend to settle down a bit.
"Then maybe you get one or two that pull away - and we hope we will be included in that. You've just got to believe in yourself; if you do, anything can happen."

CONVERSATION OVERHEARD IN HMP ATAVAR
Stevie O Jay and Marlon King are settling into their new home. There’s a bit of friction.
Stevie O Jay : Pheuuuufff
Marlon King : Whaattt?
Stevie O Jay : Ah nothin’
Marlon King : What? You’re the one going Pheuuuufff.
Stevie O Jay : Your feet Marlon, your feet, your f*cking feet?
Marlon King : What’s wrong with my feet?
Stevie O Jay : Can’t you smell or something?
Marlon King : Huh?
Stevie O Jay : Ere lad, your feet stink the place out. Even the f*cking screws don’t come in here anymore. I don’t know how many times I’ve told you, wash your f*cking feet!!
Marlon King : Oh. Alright then.
Stevie O Jay : Huh, thanks a lot.
Marlon starts to sort through his washbag, gets his favourite soap out, his nice new facecloth and begins to give his feet a wipe.
Marlon King : Have you heard the news?
Stevie O Jay : What news?
Marlon King : About Benny?
Stevie O Jay : Benny? Benny who?
Marlon King : Benny The Ball Benitez.
Stevie O Jay : What about him?
Marlon King : They say he’s not a real manager.
Stevie O Jay : Not a real manager .. whatdya mean?
Marlon King : He’s not Benitez.
Stevie O Jay : ( Perplexed ) What!?
Marlon King : His real name’s Benitio. He’s mob.
Stevie O Jay : Eh?
Marlon King : He’s not Spanish .. he’s Italian.
Stevie O Jay : Whatdya mean he’s not Spanish?
Marlon King : He’s mafioso.
Marlon cleaning between his toes flicks a ball at Stevie.
Stevie O Jay : F*ck off.
Marlon King : ( He flicks another ball of cheese ) Something to do with Capello’s mob. Apparently the football club is a front for people trafficing.
Stevie O Jay : Eh?
Marlon King : Yes, you heard me right, I said people trafficing.
Stevie O Jay : ( Totally confused ) What?
Marlon King : The Italian mob were trying to find a front for their operation. They tried Loserpool. Do you remember when you won the Champions League?
Stevie O Jay : Yeah, great night.
Marlon King : Well it was alright til half time.
Marlon King : Benitio couldn’t believe his luck when you won the Champions League, made him look like he was a football manager. It was all luck. He’s knows nothing about football. He’s been winging it since then.
Stevie O Jay : ( Taken aback. ) Knows nothing?
Marlon King : Nope. The Italians weren’t too happy though. You weren’t supposed to win. Benitio was supposed to throw the game.
Stevie O Jay : No-one told me.
Marlon King : Benitio was supposed to tell you.
Stevie O Jay : Well he didn’t. F*ck!!
Stevie O Jay : F*ck!!
Marlon King : The Italians weren’t happy bunnies. Anyway, Benitio was making so much money trafficing people in and out as football players, taking a cut of the fees that it saved his life. He paid back the mob and made Capello rich. Everybody was happy. But that’s when the American mobs wanted a piece of the action.
Stevie O Jay : How do you know all this?
Marlon King : Ah, ah …... Benitio thought he was doing a great job but he hadn’t a clue what was really going on. Do you know some people say that he thought he was a real football manager? Like Alex Ferguson or something?
Stevie O Jay : I thought he was a real manager.
Marlon King : So does Benitio, that’s why it was so sweet.
Stevie O Jay : So that’s why the Americans mob bought the club. It didn’t make sense. They didn’t seem to get on ….
Marlon King : ….let’s call it a family disagreement.
Stevie O Jay : They weren’t putting money in, … they were taking money out.
Marlon King : That’s it, who’s a clever boy? Well things have gone t*ts up and the Americans want to bring in their own man in and I’m afraid that it’s ‘Goodbye Mr Benitio’.
Stevie O Jay : And I thought it was the b*autiful game.
Marlon King : That’s right. ( Marlon flicking another ball of toe cheese at Stevie ) On yer head.
Stevie O Jay : Listen, do that one more time and I’ll set my ‘patsy ‘ mates on you.
Marlon King : Ha, ha, ha, ha, not in here you won’t. .. ha, ha, ha , ha.
Stevie O Jay : Ha, ha, ha,

Ha,ha, ha, ha, ha. (c: (c:
am a 40 yr fan of man u. stil am nervous n worried evry time they play.this yr is worse n top of that lost again 2 Livpl.if a club like man u want 2 rule in uk n europe we need classy players, skilfui like brazilians, strong n powerful.this yr man u is struggling n goals have been many times scored by luck.Fergie needs 2 bring in new players,nt like Obertan or Valencia.alo some like neville ferdinand have made their time.
If Rooney is given a free roving role that Ronaldo had in the last 2 seasons and Berba is paired with Owen up front it would be difficult for any defense not to cocede goals. Fergie should give that a thought.
Berba is getting better with every game and finally we can see he is starting to believe himself. MU starting 11 shoud be : VDS, Rafael, Evra, Vidich, Evans, Valencia, Giggs, Fletcher, Anderson, Berba, Rooney. I believe we only need a classy left winger together with a few hot prospects in the winter transfer period. Nani should be sold. Valencia and Obertan will play on the right side. The classy left winger will be covered by Park. Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves and Gibson can always cover for the midfield and when Giggsy and Scholes retire we will need a new classy CM so we better start looking now. Also we have to sign Akinfeev from CSKA Moscow. He is young and talented.

comment 1. I totally agree . m.u.f.c for ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
United fans knew it would be more difficult without Ronaldo and Tevez, and it takes time to settle in a new formation and new tactics. We're on chelsea's heels,City haven't set the world on fire and Liverpool have disintegrated. Only Arsenal look particularly good,but time will tell in the winter months.
We have excellent cover for Rio and keep an eye on the reserves with Tosjic, Oberton &Co all ready to step up to join a rejuvenated and fit Owen. It's looking good folks!
