Not losing just not good enough for Alex

ALEX FERGUSON is refusing to take much pleasure from the fact Manchester United remain undefeated this term and is still angry at the points they have tossed away.

It is one of the quirks of a crazy Premier League campaign that the Red Devils are yet to suffer a defeat, yet lie only third in the table. The reason is obvious. Far too many draws. Indeed, United have finished level in more matches this term than they have actually won.

Not that Ferguson was complaining at Villa Park last weekend when, by his own admission, United could have been six goals adrift before they launched one of their famous comebacks to earn a share of the spoils and deny Gerard Houllier’s men a deserved triumph.
