Haha. Someone is too full of festive spirit.

City
Chelsea
Arsenal
United

This'll be the table on May 2014.

If Suarez stays fit, I think they will.

Did anyone get bitten today?

At whose expense would you say melton?

I said last week his bubble will have to burst at some point. It's dare to see a player do what he had recently over the length of a season.

Still think Chelsea will fall short when it matters. They were lucky today as they were against West Brom where in both cases the officials had a lot to answer for.

I'm still going on the two Manc clubs taking 1 and 2 with Arsenal, Chelsea and Pool fighting out the remianing positions.

Very fortunate again by Chelsea and Mourinho at the Bridge.

I thought arsenal won't but they keep get wins out the blue so now I doubt they won't as they are masters at getting 3 points.

As good as Suarez is and I do think he is the best player in the league he doesn't really do it against the big teams for me. Would like to know his record against us, arsenal, city and Chelsea this season.
The fact that gerrard thinks he is the best in the world at the moment is laughable

8 teams all with serious ambitions of CL football.
Is this the strongest the league has ever been?

Think the first 3 places will be taken care of with United, Liverpool and Spurs fighting for 4th.

didnt't expect Arsenal to get max points in their last 2 games away so not sure their meltdown I was confident of will happen now.

depends who wins it. If Arsenal, City or Liverpool win it will be seen as a strong league. If Chelsea win it will be seen as relatively weak, but Mourinho's genius shining through. If United win it, the league will just be seen as weak.

I hope not. Certainly the most entertaining though.

There won't be 8 teams fighting it out for CL places in a few months time. Everton and Newcastle just don't have the squads to compete. Spurs will struggle to get their players to really gel this season and I can see them missing out. Liverpool need luck with injuries, as they don't have quite the strength in depth required either, but they are making serious progress.

We (Utd) are hindered by our lack of central midfield quality, but still have enough about us to make top 4. City are obvious favourites for the title, Chelsea will grind their way this season to top 4, and Arsenal will stay there also.

United 2nd? Yeah ok, lol.

Man utd 1st that is what will happen.

City will canter to the title, they've got far too much for the rest of us. Strongly fancy Arsenal and Chelsea second and third (in no particular order).

As for fourth, who's going to take it from us, Liverpool, spurs, Everton, etc.

Don't think I could call that one.

City won't win it at a canter IMO.
They have played most of the big teams bar Chelsea away from home. Out of the current top 5 they have probably the toughest 2nd half due to having very tough away games and their away form is poor. I think they may just sneak it from Chelsea however

Whilst I agree that we won't win it at a canter, our away form really isn't poor anymore. Chelsea's is only one point better than ours as is Liverpools with a game more.

I still wouldn't like to call it in all honesty, first or the top four.

MUFC will win the title

United have beaten a few small teams recently and suddenly they are going to win the League?

I thought Liverpool fans were deluded, haha.

"I'm still going on the two Manc clubs taking 1 and 2 with Arsenal, Chelsea and Pool fighting out the remianing positions."

I think it will be City United as 1 and 2 with City winning by at least 8 points. On paper that's what it should be as well.

I think Chelsea will get 3rd and Liverpool and Arsenal will battle out for 4th

I think if any team in the league is capable of beating the other then it shows a strong league, one ot two teams finishing 10-15 points ahead of everyone and winning 3 or 4-0 every week is an indication of a pretty weak league imo.

I think if any team in the league is capable of beating the other then it shows a competitive league.

strength is a completely different discussion
