Absolutely hate to say it, but... Arsenal starting to look clear favourites for the title, WHU and Wolves clear favourites for the drop. Nightmare all round!

Yes not quite a quarter of the way through the season yet so a long way to go still, if you'd told me at the beginning of the season that Spurs would be above Liverpool and City yet only third, I would have been confused! This is generally the only way one of the big four (Liverpool, City, United, Chelsea) don't win it, all being shite at the same time (looking at you Leicester.) So Arsenal might not even have to try too hard at this rate!

Yeah long way to go, can see the top 4 still being Liverpool, City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Perhaps Spurs and you never know about the others. I really thought the big 4 were going to dominate this year, so far Arsenal have I guess.
The big difference this year is there is no consistency, Bournemouth have only won three of their last six games yet that's been enough to claim second place even this early on! In recent seasons it feels like several teams (Arsenal, City, Liverpool) have barely lost a match all season and it came right down to the wire at the end.
Ignore the last four games and Liverpool are amazing!
Assuming you only look at the results and not the performances
In other news, I saw a lovely article on the bbc football page today by Tony Pulis* all about how he was called a dinosaur for his hoofball GBH football 15 yrs ago but now so many more teams are playing for set pieces.
If he could have sucked hits own cock……
He was called a dinosaur, because he was/is. His teams also kicked anything that moved and never once even thought about trying to play football.
Thanks set piece fc (Arsenal) and everyone else who has adopted that long throw BS.
* Obviosuly it was ghost written cos there’s no way that retard can write, no “proper football man” can! Leave school at 11, work ‘down pit’ for a few years before making it as a footballer etc. etc.

Yep, that's more like it. Organised, winning duels, everyone focused and pulling together... and a sensible lineup. Totally deserved and could've scored more.
Can't say the same for Spurs, apart from Arsenal there is no other fixture I look forward to less than Chelsea. Every club has a few bogey teams, but there's no justification for Spurs record against Chelsea over the last decade or so when we've been on a similar par. Xavi Simon put in one of the worst performances I've ever seen - slow, hesitant, defensive, lost count of how many times he gave the ball away (including the soft goal.) Absolute disgrace of a performance and the boos at the end were thoroughly deserved.

I know precisely why you lost, I benched two Chelsea players and brought in Richarliason for FPL
