Statistically it is clearly more difficult to win points against the top teams than against the bottom teams. Arsenal have thus far largely played bottom teams.
You Gooners can carry on kidding yourselves and you may turn out to be the real deal but your fixtures thus far prove nothing.
of course its harder but what i mean is that in reality how the league is theres just as much chance of a southampton beating you as there is a city.
all the top teams have had seasons where theyve done well against the big teams and not as well against the smaller ones and vice versa.
going by your logic utd would have expected to beat west brom and southampton at home but they didn't, yet they might well beat city liverpool arsenal at home.
You are talking crap. The top teams generally beat the lower teams - that's why they are top teams !
Any team is far more likely to be beaten by City than Southampton. The results are there to prove it.
Of course Utd expected to beat West Brom & Southampton. They didn't because the results are anomalous or Utd are no longer a top team. Obviously I hope it's the latter.
I agree that top teams generally beat the lower teams and that as important as having a good record in the big games. Man united are looking average but they have a new manager and going to take time to get used to him. They won,t win the league but its not the end of the world for united that.
