Nah, they look a very good side but plenty of teams have good starts to seasons. Too early to tell.
I'd quite like them to break the top 4, though obviously not at our expense.

He did, if you see the replay his knees buckle before any contact is made. There was contact, but he was already on his way down.Well their ability to unique ability to finish easy chances and not head the ball into their own net made them the less-bad team for me.
Rooney didn't dive either, I think your mind is still somewhere around 2004

Sounds familiar. Just wait for the implosion later on tbh. It'll be spectacular.It's looking good for Citeh. Pompey was exactly the kind of game that (potentially) wins titles: an obviously better side win away from home without ever really playing anything like their best. It's also the kind of fixture your boys often contrive to lose or at least fail to win.
Ordinarily I'd be confident of a result for The Arsenal at Eastlands, but much less so this year. I think it'll be a measure of how far City have come.
It might be wishful thinking, but with Citeh (& the Spurts) starting well and ManUre, Liverpool and ourselves all having obvious issues this could be the season the hegemony is broken.
Chavs nailed-on for the title, I'm afraid but I don't think Citeh are embarrassed by comparison to any of the other "big four".

Yeah, Fabregas is a big player for you guys. Given how the Arsenal physios seem to operate, he'll probably now be out for another six months. Before being rushed back to soon and suffering a reoccurance.Yeah indeed, I would still unquestionably expect to see Man Utd up there challenging if not leading the pack, though like you say Chelsea have to be favourites it is to early to write everyone else off. I don't think the absence of Ronaldo will be a particularly telling factor either, at least not in the premiership. I think Man Utd would benefit massively from having one other really solid player in the centre of midfield, someone like Mascherano would be ideal imo. But then again, there isn't a team in the country I could think of who wouldn't benefit from one or two extra players. Arsenal on the other hand, we'll see how they can bounce back from the defeat, and see if this "team character" Wenger has mentioned exists. Need the likes of Gallas to stay fit as well, get the feeling that if Fabregas was fit at the weekend (though the result may have stayed the same - though maybe not as Diaby would probably not have played
We're missing a few players too though, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar, Rafael, Evans. Even Hargreaves, would he ever get fit, would make the side look a lot better. Have to make do.

That's because he knew he was going to be fouled. Clutching at straws IMO.

Is that why he kicked the ball into the stands as well?

Ha, had almost successfully blanked it out too.Will be tough to improve on our complete pasting of you guys at Eastlands last year tbf
Fair point, but even tho we were in the middle of a gash run I wasn't unduly concerned about the prospect of facing City last season. Now, we're playing well, and I'm far less sanguine about playing your boys.

Arguably you could say the same for Eduardo imo, at a stretch perhaps, but still arguable none the less.

So you're admitting he was diving then? Glad that's all sorted.

Yeah could potentially be a sticking point for us, especially if Nedum decides to play for Nigeria. Would leave us with Kompany at CB which, while I wouldn't be too unhappy with, he has barely played there since coming here and I can't see him playing there before ACON.

Honestly can't see any of the other contenders being good enough to challenge. Hope I'm wrong WRT us, but am very dubious.

Yep. Doesn't make it not a foul though.
Let's be clear here. Rooney was running really, realllllly fast and he saw a large body about to throw itself in front of him. Was he supposed to keep on running normally and allow himself to be taken out?
