EPL 07/08

Another week gone and Arsenal manage to climb back to the top spot. After 3 years of dull epl, we finally get an interesting season this year. During the past 3 years, the top team pulled off too early, and the gap is absolutely smaller for this year. 13 games to go and it is yet to say who will be the champion.

Although I am an Arsenal supporter, I got this feeling that they might crack down later on and Man Utd will retain the title after all ; I guess the reason for me not believing them is that the young gunners haven't achieved any titles yet, unlike their arch rival which proved they could do it last season. However, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea are the title contenders for now, with Chelsea having the slightest chance. Fergie has yet to use his 'jedi mind trick' on the gunners, I guess we can expect a dramatic and controversial top of the table clash between Arsenal and Man Utd this year. (Perhaps something like vierra vs nistelrooy ^.^ )

The battle for the last spot to European football is fierce as well. We suddenly have a lot more contenders than before, and Liverpool being one of them. Other teams that still have the chance to fight for 4th spot are Everton, Aston Villa, Man City, Blackburn and Portsmouth. With the kind of team that Liverpool has, they shouldn't have any problem getting the last spot in my opinion, even though their performance are abit inconsistence lately. Eventually thing will settle down and the players can focus more on their game instead of on Rafa and their American owner.

Lastly, I will say Derby look certain to relegate this year and I hope Sunderland get relegated as well because I dont like roy keane :)

Go Gunners!
