Two or three horse race?

[The Pink Panther]

Only three matches into the season and only half way through the rag's match against Arsenal and they're 3-0 up.
With Chelsea looking like a team in transition and out of sorts, is it a two or three horse race for the title?
Remember that Chelsea were on fire at the start of last season scoring for fun and then for two months went through a terrible phase.
Will the ACoN have an effect on any of the top three?

 

[Andouble]

Three-horse. Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea bring in two more.

 

[Blue Haze]

We don't know yet, it's too early.

By September 1 last year, it looked like a 1 horse race for Chelsea.

 

[ErnieBilko]

One horse race - us, once we played Chelski and the rags.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

As it stands right now its us or the rags

 

[Rammy Blue]

3 horse race, only a fool would underestimate Chelsea.

 

[Balti]

3 horse race and the rags are still favourites

we will push them hard though, very hard

and maybe, just maybe....

don't let the feckers set us up for a fall

lets do it to them instead

theirs to lose etc

;-)

Chelsea have grinded their early results despite playing crap - they won't be this crap all season, with Mata and Lukaku enlivening them. Add Modric and they will be at the races. A three horse race I'd say.

 

[Mayor West]

At this rate it's going to end up like la liga, both city and united will end up on record points hauls but we'll win it on alphabetical order!

 

[Cobwebcat]

Top 4 now already look the top 4 at the end

Only the order is in doubt IMHO but the top 4 now will be top 4 at the end

 

[Matt the Giant]

Both Manchester teams, (with the reds looking frighteningly good), Chelsea and Liverpool; those are the top four teams of the league at the end of the season, and I don't think there will be a huge point gap between the winner and the fourth in the end.

 

[TFC]

Three, although Liverpool will hang in there for a while.

No worries fellow blues. The cocks may be crowing but the fox is in the henhouse!!<br /><br />-- Sun Aug 28, 2011 6:46 pm --<br /><br />No worries fellow blues. The cocks may be crowing but the fox is in the henhouse!!

 

[MCC]

Only 3 games in but us and the rags look like the teams to beat. Chelsea looked like the team to beat last season but imploded. Anything can happen and it`s a very long season.

liverpool have the advantage of no european football

 

[Blue Smarties]

Wouldn't shock me if Manchester eclipses Milan in a few years, hell you could argue to an extent the transition is already fully going. Still a three horse race though, Chelsea will click.

We have the advantage of being awesome.

arsenal dropping out of the top for to be replaced by liverpool, i can only see liverpool getting better although not a threat to us

Liverpool are a threat to everone on current form mate. Their only drawback is (ahem) "king" kennys random squad selections and apparent need to sign absolutely any midfielder acailable for transfer.
They do look miles better than previous years though, and i rate them for 3rd with chelski dropping to 4th.
To be fair the scum look mustard. Ashley young is storming through games and they look very difficult to beat. Still a bit slack at the back though.

2 horse race, us and them. Us to pinch it, by a point or 2.

Ay Aye, Rag Alert anyone? There's admitting the Scum are playing well, then there's this!!
