Gunners firing!!!

[LeftyHoges]

I think it's safe to say

Arsenal clearly the best team in the EPL at this stage.

Wenger has these guys playing so well, with a couple of big names still out, it's hard to see anyone knocking them off.

A repeat of "The Invincibles" of '04 would be great to see. Very unlikely though.

Cesc Fabregas may possibly be the next "big thing" in world football.

Even Optimus Prime is behind them....

No chance, You've had an easy start to the season. Your team has no Britishback bone and I'm not sure all the forigen kids will like the trips up North when the weather worsen's in the coming months. Not saying you've not had a good start to the season but I'm not 100% convinced yet. I think this year is gonna be the toughest Premiership to date with teams like Blackburn, City, Villa, Newcastle, Boro & West Ham taking points from the big boys. i've been most impressed by Liverpool so far and if they had Ferguson, wenger or mouriniho managing there squad they'd be sitting pretty at the top right now. Why you rest your new striker for league games and then play him in the crappy cup is beyond me?

Still I think we (United) will win the league again this season. We've started the season with a lot of key players missing games through injury or suspension but have still got on a good run of late after our worse ever start to a Premier league season and were 2nd already with the likes of Rooney, Saha & Ronaldo coming back, Tevez getting mach fit and we've still got Hargreaves & Neville to come back in.

i agree completly with MG, but with added emphasis on the importance of Neville.

Gotta go with the Man U guys, although Arsenal has looked solid in the few game I have seen them play. I have also been quite surprised by Aston Villa, they have been playing some good football as well.

Chelsea, what were they thinking? Getting rid of their coach after his record with them?

I don't have a favorite team in the PL, but I have been trying to catch a Fulham game as they have my favorite USA footballer, Dempsey, playing for them now along with a few other Amercians.

Just shows that the dollar speaks almighty. Abramovich was pissed that all they got out of last year was a Carling Cup (which they nearly didn't get) and the FA cup (which also could just as easily been Man U's with Giggs' not given goal). Of the four big trophies, he wanted the other two. Missing the League and Champions League trophies, and a poor start to this year = no more manager.

Last year with a worse team we only dropped points (to the big three) to Liverpool in the PL. And beaten the pants off them in the Carling and FA cup previously. Our problem was complacency against the small sides (Boro, Man City, Bolton, Fulham, West Ham, Portsmouth and SHEFFIELD UTD fer fecks sake!!! )
And of course, the teams reliance on one man. Henry leaving was almost the best thing to happen to the club (which I say with all respect for the man).

This year the young guys want to win everything in sight, and blow the critics away. And have done so fantastically.

Not sure what the ploy is with Eduardo either, but if anyone knows, it's Wenger. Can't argue with results so far. I think he's struggling a little to adjust to the PL's pace of play though. He'll get better and be there later.

Now that you mention it, how did Benitez keep his job all through all those years? They had to be the most underachieving team in EPL history until they won the Champions League.

At least no-one disagreed about Cesc Fabregas....

When you back a man to the Tune of £120 million and then when 2 players are injurid (Lampard, Drogba) he starts moaning about only having 2nd grade eggs to make his omlettes (WTF BTW). He wasted so much money on players and played the most unattractive style of football. Even though he is a winner, Abramavich wants attacking style & winning football can't blame him. You spend all that money you want a Ferrari not a suped up Vauxhall.

As for the Scouser's, I think somebody needs to sit down with Rafa and explain when the fans say they want to win the League tittle they don't mean the League cup Title. If anybody can explain why he rested Torres for 2 League games dropped 4 points and then plays him for 90 minutes against Reading, WTF, Ha, Ha!!! Your best shot at the title for years and your boss is trying his best to mess it up!!!

[Dannykos]

Hey MG - Reading was a tough tie - so we needed our best out there

read his comments today on bbc sport regarding why he is rotating torres. Not really sure to be honest - but - "in rafa we trust!!"

[reynnstimpy]

pffts!! go UNited we beat you but before that you would be beaten by the scousers!
