they're being to harsh on Andre Villas-Boas. Need to give him time to build his own squad. He inherited this one from Ancelotti.

Chelsea needs an overhaul. Terry has aged.

@Karisblue got the City & Man Utd predictions spot on, @Taz got for his team as well, sadly I was also right about my team (after I changed from my earlier prediction). Now that we have lost Cleverley till Christmas, I foresee us playing the same dull football we've been playing since the Cleverley Anderson midfield partnership was ruthlessly brought to an end by the asshole called Kevin Davies (hope someone gives him some dose of ankle ligament damage). After that the goals dried up, Rooney now goes deep to get the ball and is no longer in goal scoring positions. Thankfully, our defense is now solid so we're not leaking goals.

The Kop always amaze me at how they put up good performances in big matches then go and get a nil nil draw at home against teams like Swansea (no offense)...hopefully they'll have a big game against City at Anfield and bring them back down to earth (and reduce the deificit to 2 points)

AVB just needs to change his tactics, sacking him will not help - the problem is defense and midfield since the back are playing a high line and the mid is not doing their defensive duties

Arsenal better pray for RvP's continued good health because he'll continue scoring, they have no big game coming up for now so I expect them to continue picking up points if the hold their own against small opposition (fulham, wigan and everton) before they face another real test in City at Emirates.

After December we'll have a better picture of how the table might end up in May.

I really don't think you are a Man Utd fan because all you talk about is Arsenal. Ati sijui we are an average team, Newcastle are ahead of us mara ati we've bid farewell to the title....only 7 points separate 2nd and 7th place in the league. By the time we get to Christmas mambo itakuwa tofauti. Here you were telling us how titles are lost 10 games into the season.

One thing i'm sure of with Arsenal is that incase RVP gets injured someone else will take up the role of scoring goals. I really can't wait for Wilshere's return in January...

@smano am also doubting the credentials of your team.At the Liberty, only the profligacy of Sinclair and the colorful Dyer was enough to see you take the three points at the boring game.Otherwise, the team looks beatable unlike at the beginning of the season.

I think Man-City will face their 1st defeat this weekend going by how Liverpool has been playing and you know what happens to morale in EPL after a defeat. Btw, I'm not a Lpool fan but mad respect after their match yesterday.

thanks for that..

A certain North-London club.

Thankfully after their win against Villa last night, another north london club, Spurs are now 3rd on the log.

@ Mwenza....So Man Utd, Spurs and Newcastle are in the race for second and third?

I expect Arsenal my team to pick all the available 9 points in the next three matches before we get a point (draw with man city) on 18th December.

This will propel Arsenal to position 4 before 31st January. This having in mind that Chelsea have poor form and not solid to win against a good team,Magpies have tough games which they can win.
