As we all can see, it´s not gonna an easy task to catch up with Manure or Citeh loggers, is it ?

People need to take a step back and relax. You'd expect both Manchester teams to get the results they did, and they've both got toughies coming up with Man City at home to a tough Stoke side and United going to Wigan where they lost last season.

We've just got to focus on winning our games and let the other teams drop points, which they will.

City we might catch.Man U nah.be shocked if we do. But with teams below us some not doing to bad cant loose focus on those or down we go if they win and we dont

For us to get passed United we need to get realy stronger in Jan, imo with a great CM and a great striker. Not Negredo+Walcott.

8 pts is not the end of the title race in the PL, but we have to be very good.

Remember carlo's second season. We were 15 points behind Utd and that too in February. By the time we had to go Old trafford, we were just 3 points behind. So i wont lose hope so early, yes it will be difficult but 8 points with 18 more games to go. ANy thing can happen.

They're 11 points above QPR and only 4 points off Liverpool and Norwich.

And they are only 4 points above the drop zone. The way they have been playing as of late, it's safe to say they will be closer sooner than later.

Well, for some current Chelsea standing might be an easy task to overcome. For me, I would say, it is not going to be that easy.

Manure´s offense, even late scoring coming from behind is an indication of their scoring firepower, I feel.

Manure are scoring around 3 goals a game. That alone is telling me, they just score whenever it´s needed.

Even though, they already lost 3 games, I do not see then loosing more than 3-4 games for the rest of the season.

Personally, I would be very surprised to see Manure dropping 4-5 more games.

Arsenal in the lead...

No-one thinks it will be easy. But no-one thought United would throw away the league last season.

They're weak in key areas, especially defensively. Teams seem to be able to score on them quite freely and I don't think the tactic of scoring one more than the opposition is a good way to go about winning leagues.

And they are only 4 points above the drop zone. The way they have been playing as of late, it's safe to say they will be closer sooner than later.

I think they'll be fine.

Great game at Carrow Road. Love the spirit in that Norwich team, shame they didn't manage to nick in just one more goal.

I hate repeating myself, but it's beyond me why don't we at least try for Dzeko. Ah well, let's get Villa.

It's too early to judge anything. Man utd offense is the only thing that's keeping them at the top of the table. They have no midfield. Their defense in not that great, they don't have a world class goalkeeper. Lets not forget the business end of the season is yet to start. A draw and a loss for Utd and the lead will be cut down to just 2 points with Utd playing in the CL as well. You just don't know what can happen between now and the end of the season.

re: fulham's form

I think they'll be fine.

I don't know what you call an indicator of positive form, but in fulcrap's last 4 matches they have 1 point. They are looking like shit. Hell they even lost to qpha. Agree to disagree then.
