If we don't win the league this season, hope City do it. Can't stand United or anyone else winning it!

They don't really have a glaring weakness at the moment. They have a couple of areas that the other top sides can target (Blind, Jones if he keeps his place, and using pace against Matic) but against these smaller sides like West Ham, Swansea, and basically every side below the top 6-7 they'll probably dominate. The talent gap is colossal.

Their starting XI isn't any more impressive than City/Spurs/Chelsea/Arsenal but with the way Mou sets his teams out tactically is what makes them scary.

I agree that our starting 11 is maybe not far behind United but as a squad United is way above us even last season. Plus it is United, Pogba should have gotten a red card but nope nothing.

Before I would have rather United or City over Liverpool, Yids and Arsenal but now.... now Jose is there, I wan't anyone but Yids and those wankers to win it after getting Lukaku in the nanner ghey did and then getting Matic from us.

I think so far it is going to be United and City for the title.

The reason is , if you are a top 6 beside those two, if you have midfield problem in your squad you cannot just broke world transfer record without selling anybody, have a striking problem bring a 30+ striker with massive salary for one year rental and you fail yet you can repeat the same crazy spending next season.

Another red card, lol.

Lol, what's with the meltdown here already.

Solanke helps set up Mane to put Liverpool in front.

Liverpool have been woeful all game and then Palace hand them the easiest goal they'll score all season.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Ouch, Bilic. That really hurts.

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Plus side we stay 14th..for now anyway

City was dominating early last season and look what happened to them, 15 points behind us will 11 worse goal difference.

Yet everyone will continue to make their knee jerk predictions in hopes they can say "SEE! I TOLD YOU SO! ALL THE WAY BACK IN AUGUST!!!"

so no foul or red card for Arsenal after that 2 footed lunge on Pieters? if it was a Chelsea player the referee would not have hesitated, no consistency whatsoever from the refs, what a joke.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Arsenal HAHAHAHA

There were some ridiculous unpunished tackles in the Southampton-West Ham match as well. I don't know what's going on, but I've never seen Premier League referees this inconsistent before.

The FA need to bring all of their Premier League referees in and find a way to be more consistent. One of the problems is the rules are so dependent on the referees interpretation, it's bound to be inconsistent. The biggest issue with that is the FA is scared to take retroactive action for fear of undermining their referees. Makes no sense.

Oh arsenal lost.

[Johnnyeye 7,415]

way to go Stoke, they just love playing Arsenal at home

[Tautvix 1,321]

Arsenal will always be Arsenal with Wenger. At least this is good for us...

[kmk108 1,186]

 sent my Arsenal supporting friend a text simply saying "you shouldn't have said anything about the Chelsea match last week."

[Johnnyeye 7,415]

This is the premier league my friends, where the amazing happens when you least expect
