Arsenal is on top of a table alright:

Most clubs are achieving trophies with lots of losses....paying crazy wages etc. But that said, Arsenal needs a trophy....

@maichblack - I would love to say chelsea but on current form I have more doubts despite Lamps optimism.

Man-u could easily be tops if they beat chelsea on sunday...

Arsenal will benefit if chelsea, sunderland, birmingham beat/draw man-u and arsenal wins against stoke, chelsea, wigan and birmingham. Sounds a tall order.

In short I dont know what I was smoking in the earlier post !

Looks like the unbeaten fellows will be tops.

@Winston.............You are smoking absolutely nothing. Your post was done before the unbeaten team played the arses and you must have,like @TAZ,expected an arses win.

Am also surprised that you have dismissed your very own pensioners. If you watched chelshit playing spurs, you must have surely realised that they were not that poor on the day.

At this juncture I guess the sunday game will be a 50-50 affair. However I can only see one winner on 27th December.....assuming that Drogba will be on the pitch on that day.

@TAZ...........Are you sure these are the current top three teams? Where do you place Manshitty?

Chelsea will be on top form when they play Man - U on Sunday. The Man U - Chelsea game is as big as they come. You don't expect Chelsea to just stroll into the field to play against Man - U without preparing meticulously and without a plan. They will play their best football in months. And that will be good for football. My wish is for Man - U to beat Chelsea when they are at their best. If truth be told, football is far much more than three points. Otherwise we would never watch the games - we would just wait to hear who bagged the points. Football is about both the points and quality football!

@mwenza..agreed. Its the passion of football. But some guys cant see beyond the 'passion' and would literally kill people supporting other teams.

Am ocillating between the pensioners and west brom!

At beginning of the 'Arsenal to top table by new year' I had analysed the teams that they were to play before new year and arrived at a conclusion that arsenal had the relatively easier fixtures since they were to play more teams outside the top ten than man-u and chelsea before new year (and unlike chelsea and man-u, they had an break in between big fixtures). Then things changed with man-u currently topping the table with a game in hand and having beaten arsenal. i thought they would have drawn. At that point it seems the smoking started!

I agree chelsea played well during the spurs game. In the man-u game, chelsea have the home advantage and are favoured by history (man-u hasnt won at the bridge in 8 years).

I would hazard a draw but would wish for a 2-0 chelsea win and cross my fingers that chicarito, park or berbatov dont pull out a magic/fluke wand

Matches left to play today:

Blackburn v West Ham, and Sunderland v Bolton.

I might as well wait to watch football tomorrow.

I wish for a 1-0 win against Manure.

At least I can now watch TP Mazembe game without having to switch channels to catch up with Livafools.

Manchester City lost 2:1 to Everton! A match played with 10 players each for either side and in absolutely wicked -6 degrees of cold.

If Man City had won, they could have gone top of the Premiership table for the first time since the 1929-30 EPL season!

Hats of to Everton! It won't be such a merry Christmas for Mancini and his men...
