This league is soo interesting. Teams beat bigger teams and drop points to small names. Mancity reclaim their top spot after losing it for a couple of hours.

my beloved man city hit those diaper mboys from arsenal

In all fairness to Arsenal they played well, the game was a see saw affair with both teams having chances - City had chances to close out the game with the Zabaleta strike that hit the upright and Nasri's over hit pass that went past Balotelli;both keepers kept their teams in the game too. Arsenal can take heart from the way they played and will feel hard done by the draw. Ignasi, who came in left back after Djouro was injured was not too bad actually.

My beloved could have easily won the game 5-2 but we were wasteful in front of goal and the QPR keeper had a great game too;Campbell totally wasted them when he missed a sitter that could have made for a very nervy finish. I was delighted to see Chicharito back so soon and Jones and Carrick played well in midfield. We can get maximum points in Dec away to Fulham and at home to Wigan n Blackburn.

Chelsea drew coz of Cech's howler, Spurs are definite Top 4 contenders and Liverpool seem to be better at hitting the woodwork (15 times this season) than scoring more goals but they're now same points with gooners so it'll be a tight Top 4 finish.

This thick and fast Dec fixtures are the reason why EPL players perform very poorly in major tournaments e.g. the upcoming Euro 2012. FA compromise to make moeny and at the expense of fatigue to players.

ION, Santos were taken back to baby class by Barca - Messi and Xavi the orchestrators of the orchestra. Neymar who???

@ Smano, my prediction is that Spurs slump will come sooner than we all expect. They've been relying so much on the brilliance of their wingers (Bale and Lennon), thats why they struggled against Sunderland yesterday. Bale missed the match because of an ankle sprain while Lennon was taken off after he suffered a hamstring injury.

4 matches between now and 2nd January.....i believe these fixtures can and will define how things will be in May.

The Man City vs Arsenal game last night was like a cup final. One of the best matches to watch so far howbeit very nervy for both fans. Its a match that was decided on a moment of slip up from Arsenal defense. It was a match that could have gone either side or could have been scoreless. This now makes Arsenal way behind the leaders who if they sustain the form could easy lift the cup this season. However Arsenal have come a long way from the horrible start in August and have improved immensely.They should be proud that despite the fact that they lost by a slip margin and walked away without a point, that are a batter team and could face anyone in their day. Kudos to Joe Hart, he saved they day.
