The big six is almost now three-tiered in terms of clear gaps in quality, i think. Liverpool and Spurs…then quite a gap to Arsenal…then a noticable gap again between the other three of the six. Could even be a three-way race for 4th between them also-rans (City, Chelsea, United).

Yeah, i’m aware of the 4-0 between two of those last week, jut think both sides hit a serious peak/trough, respectively.

Crouchie!! :heart_eyes:

For the first time ever my prediction comes good! Arsenal are maybe the most surprising team for this season. Bit much to get into hyperbole after they beat one of the worst teams in the league, but I really thought Arsenal would be struggling a lot more to get into the top four. Plenty of time to fuck up though!

pickford must be the most prolific goal conceder in PL history

On their day Spurs and Liverpool are very good and could beat any of the other sides in the league. Arsenal are more consistent though and if City click they should absolutely walk the league.

lol. pool and spurs been in good form but highly susceptible to big drop offs in quality with injuries. i think both are very good sides, liverpool in particular. that said, i think city and arsenal both have more quality and better depth in their squads and think they’re the two most likely to win it.

chelsea aren’t great but they’ll make a go of top 4, don’t think united will get near it personally.

Pretty much agree with all of this…City and Arsenal have the best squad depth. Arsenal have a more balanced squad but City have more attacking quality.

I think it’s fair to say City should have won more than two of the last five titles given the strength of their squad over that time and the relative underperformances of other clubs - United, Chelses, Arsenal, Liverpool. City should have won at least three of those five championships, but underperformed.

City’s squad simply isn’t the best in the country any more, though. Nobody could make a case for Bravo being better than De Gea or Lloris, or Sagna at his age being better than Walker or Bellerin, or Clichy being better than Monreal or Rose, or Otamendi being better than Alderweireld or Koscielny. That’s just the defence, but City trail Spurs and Arsenal in terms of quality in four of those five positions alone. This trend goes on through the midfields.

Guess what i’m trying to say is that whilst it’s fair to say the biggest spenders should hope to win the title (United, City, Chelsea), and the clubs with the best coaches should have a better chance (City, Liverpool, Spurs, United), it’s a pretty logical argument to say the clubs with the strongest squads should have the best chance…and in order that’s now Arsenal, Spurs and City.

Very disappointing when I waste an edit with something that gets overwritten.

Think Spurs’ defence and gk is possibly the strongest and it’s obviously a problem area for city atm.

City’s attacking options - Aguero, Iheanacho, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Nolito etc are far better than the other top clubs though and that’s the real difference. We’ve had Kane out and proper struggled whereas City have always coped when Aguero’s been out.

I’d snap your hand off for fourth as would most Spurs fans who understand the need to try and consolidate the club in the champions league. City, Arsenal and Liverpool (obv deluded as they are) wouldn’t settle for that would they?

Tl;dr
No your team should win and it’s more embarrassing if they don’t than if my team don’t

Arsenal’s to lose really at this point

What’s up with all the silences? not even November yet

Imagine thinking City were an also-ran in the title race :joy:
