By saying the core of your team is over the hill i take it you mean Van der Sar, Neville, Giggs and Scholes as these are the first team players over 30.
Van der Sar has conceded the fewest goals in the premiership so far and is first choice Dutch goalkeeper and captain. Neville is part of the strongest defence in the premiership, club captain and first choice England right back. Giggs is playing the best football of his career and is captain of Wales. Scholes is being constantly begged by England to come out of retirement and is being named as one of the players of the season by most pundits.
I fail to see how they are 'over the hill' as it seems that they are playing some of the best football of their careers and still performing at the top level. You have to face the facts United are top by eight points (probably five come Wednesday) have conceded fewest goals and have scored the most. I seriously doubt its luck 17 games into the season.

I am not a City fan, I am not from Manchester
, neither am I bitter, in fact I would take great pleasure if you won it, in fact if anyone won it other than Chelsea, nor did I mention luck, I did say that over half of your 'good players' are long past 30 and their replacements are not of a standard to fill in.
Although I have to admit I am reassessing the word's 'past it' perhaps veteran would be better as, Van der Sar, he is a goalkeeper as long as alzheimer's doesn't set and he can keep his concentration he should be all right, Giggs by his managers own admission only turns up for one game in three so those six hundred odd games are in fact only two hundred so he'll be fine, Scholes well seeing as he has had the best part of two seasons off he should be fine to and Gary Neville should have plenty left in the tank considering he spent the first five or six years of his career stuffed up David Beckhams backside. So in fact the only thing that makes these players veterans and past it is their birth certificates.
