Arsenal are looking really good, I think Chelsea will be there, us of course so who gets the 4th spot?
I think the toothy one has run his players dry so I'm going for....... fuck it Spurs. I'd love to say Newcastle for the shits and giggles it would cause but it won't happen.

Too unpredictable other than City nailed on again for the title…I wouldn’t be surprised however if Liverpool turn out to be less competitive as I think Mane will be missed

After 2 games and I know it's still very early days, but if Arsenal can keep their great start going and stay injury free, and build their confidence, they're the dark horses for runners-up to City. I wish the best for Jesus and Zinkers - and Sterling at Chelsea - so I'm going City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea.

I am grateful for your confidence in us but the reality is we are still too short in squad depth, we are too inexperienced and we are still lacking in midfield

Apart from that, I’m inclined to agree with you

Having said all that, it’d really piss off the pundits if if you were right…
 
Arsenal are not pissing around this season. It’s the one team I don’t fancy playing this season. Just signed another striker from juve too
 
Think Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea have all improved on last year. Liverpool look like their standard has slipped although it’s very early.
We look strong but still I get the impression we can move up a couple of gears. I think we will win it again but next 4 positions will be incredibly hard fought.
Us
chelsea
Spuds
liverpool
Arsenal

Arsenal may be a surprise though if Gabby continues to score in the manner he has and they sort out their defence.
 
Just really don’t want the Dippers anywhere near it. Their cult fans and weird theories.
Be a change to get the Arse and Chavs involved with Spurs holding off the Dips for 4th.

Stranger things have happened - Leicester won the league a few years back. Good run till Christmas; strengthen in January and not fade from January onwards as has often happened in previous seasons with Arsenal, after a decent 1st half of the season. If Jesus keeps his confidence up and builds on it, stay injury free, anything's possible.
 
I think games between the top 6 will tell us a lot this year
Spurs looked shot against chelsea, so I think they will be better but much the same
Arsenal probably the same
Chelsea look better than I expected
United, ha ha ha
Dippers seem to have dropped off and wide open at back if teams have a go. Also concede first too often
As for us, we mate struggle if we get injuries, so getting points on the bird now is essential. We could win first 5 and then go into spurs full of confidence
I think we’ll win it and the rest will be quite close

Personally, I think Arsenal look considerably better. They are more dynamic, running off the ball effectively and playing with more speed.

I expect Spurs to be about the same level as last year, maybe a little better due to added depth. However, last year they had Kane fit for the entire season. Teams have also now had a good look at what Conte does with the his strongest xi which is pretty much the same as last year.

As for Chelsea, I thought tactically, they did a job on Spurs in the first half. Kante sat on Bentancur and that seemed to cut off the supply to Spurs' forwards. Whilst Hjoberg scored the goal, I do think it his lack of ability with the ball that makes sitting on Bentancur a good tactic for teams facing Spurs. Honestly not confident it predicting what will happen with Chelsea.

I think we'll piss it this year tbh
 
Lots of praise for Arsenal here and they have looked pretty decent to be fair.
But this time last season the rags appeared to be serious contenders as they kicked off with four wins and a draw from their first five games. Then they had a run of fixtures against decent opposition and things started to go wrong very quickly.
 
I think its getting more dependent on results between the top teams.
Last season
Chelsea and dippers drew twice
dippers and ourselves drew twice.
We beat Chelsea twice.

That was a major influence on winning the league.

The only "big 6 " match so far is Spurs/Chelsea draw, 2 points dropped by each.
