    Agreed. As soon as he got the job he was catapulted into the spotlight which I think didn't help at all. He would need more experience in the lower leagues but having said that, I think his potential is very big.

    Wrong! We were first to choke, we played first this weekend =P

    So does anyone want to win the league this year? I'd start putting bets on Aston Villa the way this is going!

    I've made a £20 bet with a friend anyway that Liverpool will not win the league this season

    As for us, bring on the inevitable defeats to Liverpool and Villa!

    Lose to Liverpool? In December? Get out! You'll beat us easily and the papers will be awash with headlines of how Arsenal are back in the title race. Then you'll lose to Villa and you'll be out of it again. You watch!

    Well that would obey our current status of being too rubbish to win the title ourselves but making it our job to put the skids under everyone else. But I have no confidence in us to win any games at the moment.

    I think the way the press potray Arsenal is hilarious. One week they are world beaters and the next they compare them with the likes of Wigan.

    Don't they do that with all of the 'Big Four' to some extent, casting them as either title contenders or in crisis depending on their latest results?

    Not at all! With Liverpool it's:

    - They won't win the title this year.
    - It's been 18 years since they won the title.
    - No, they still won't win the title this year.
    - They're top but they won't win the title this year.
    - It's been 18 years since they won the title.
    - What the hell, why are they top at Christmas? What's going on?
    - It's been 18 years since they won the title.

    How on earth Everton are playing such fantastic football against Villa and Man City, I'll never know. Especially given that we are strikerless at the minute. But my goodness, we are playing well. Losing 3-2 to Villa is a scoreline so unrepresentative of the game itself, it's untrue.

    I use those all the time! I can add one to that.

    - It's been 17 years since they were in a title race past January.

    I have the feeling that Robbie Keane will suddenly go and score a hat-trick next weeend or something. What I like to call the Neil Mellor scenario (after the guy who did nothing, then scored twice against us in a match we lost 2-1, then proceeded to do nothing for the rest of his career - OK a bit harsh on Keane who has had an OK career to date but you get the idea!).

    That's largely due to one week Arsenal play like world-beaters, the next they play like Wigan did when they were struggling last season. It's pretty incredible how inconsistent a team like Arsenal can be, really.

    The League that no one wants to win. Seriously Berbatov has severely unbalanced our team. I see this as a short term unbalanced...ness...

    Liverpool won't win the league in a million years, I fear this may be Chelsea's year. I'll be happy with a cup. 3rd year in a row is the hardest thing to do.

    As this is my own sign in about a MILLION years, might I say MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    It's true, if Man Utd were to win the league this year, they'd be the first team to win a hat-trick of titles twice (the first being from 1999-2001). It's only been done four times (Huddesrfield, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd), and two of those were pre-World War II. So would be a big acheivement if they managed it.

    So Arsene Wenger has been going on about how he thinks Ryan Babel dived for the penalty when Liverpool put Arsenal knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League.

    Hey, Arsene? Shut up, you French ponce.
