Koscielny, Vermaelen it is. My preferred partnership also...

RVP!!!

Is on fire.hope wenger retains him

QPR shocking Man City, they've been in there faces and even opened the scoring. Its currently 1-1. QPR have been the better team.

RVP is October's MVP!

@safariant. I agree with you. newcastle havent faced a real test this season. You realise that is it only machester united that has tested the other big boys. By end of december we shall be having the standings the way it is supposed to be.

Why are people making soccer analysis to become such a difficult task?

If team A plays ten home games and win all of them and another team, say team B plays ten away matches and loses all of them, why wouldn't team A be happy? Conversely why would team B be happy just because of forthcoming home matches? Pliiiiiiz!!

And who said there is a guarantee of victory whenever a team plays at home?

MY TAKE....This season, asenane will not top the log even for an hour......This you can take to the nearest bank.

First off, at least Nobby got his prediction right on Arsenal beating West Brom by 3-0, what should impress the fans is the clean sheet.

Almost got the Fulham Spurs prediction right till Defoe added a 3rd with the last kick of the match, but spurs were lucky, should have conceded a penalty when they were 2-1 up.

After watching our game against Sunderland where a Wes Brown own goal gifted us 3 points, all I can say is thank God we were not playing City during the 25th anniversary of SAF's tenure. But what a pleasant way to honour him, naming the North Stand after him.

This team from the blue half is starting to worry me now, beacuse they have started grinding out wins where last season they could only muster draws. When they don't dominate a match they still win which is what happened against QPR. That's the quality of winners and for now remain the greatest threat to retaining the cup.

Newcastle will be beaten by Man City and Man United (just like Levante lost 2 on the trot)by I fancy them getting a draw at home to Chelsea. Hope they can remain up there to thorw a spanner in the works.

In other news, Messi salvaged a draw in injury time against Athletic Bilbao, they're now 3 points adrift of Real

I think if man city can maintain the 5 point lead till end of year, I guess they'll run away with the title.

Gunners cruised to a very comfortable win, what will westbrom having just 1 shot on target. Stand out performer to me was Arteta.

Man u ground out a result even without playing anywehere near good enough. With that kind of performance in the future, am worried City may not be offered much competition.

Chelsea just did enough.

What happened to Liverpool, draw at home to Swansea? Me thinks 4th spot will be a dog fight between Spurs and gunners..

Arsenal will probably finish position three this season.Based on the last three matches ( comparing Arsenal and chelsea),gunners have proved solid perfomances unlike the blues. Spurs and Newcastle will finish fifth and 7th respectively.
Wilshere will be back in February,Diaby in December an probably sign a creative midfielder in January.This means Gervinho position will be well covered even when Park gets an English football pace.
