Arsenal will soon run out of steam! they can not hold off Man United! Losing one match will see them surefer mentally and let go! just watch this space..... Man United will be champions again!

I think if the gunners go unbeaten till like november-december they have a chance .... coz you know manchester united will be blazing in the second half .... And correct me if i am wrong ... Is this an 'Arsenal Site' ... I dont think it is billy

I am an Arsenal fan, and the only other team i fear in the league is Liverpool. Chelsea are sinking, and Man Utd can't make it through a Carling Cup Tie at home. Man Utd have been lucky to get the results they have, and soon their luck will start running out and they will slide down the table. And to direwolf - by the second half of the season, they will be way to far behind to catch up. And billy, this isn't an Arsenal site..

Joseph needs to form his own opinion. Many ManU fans are going on about this "lose the first game and implode" crap. How they come to this conclusion I have no idea., use your own mind Joseph. ManU showed what great strength in depth they have during the week. Made me laugh up my little gooner sleeve.

My comments are based on the form so far this season. The United team that played against Chelsea could have been routed by a full strength Arsenal team! Do we all watch the same match? ManU has been scratching for results this season, and they remind me of Arsenal last season, except, Arsenal dominated matches but could not score goals! Look at how many goals they have scored, compare that with Arsenal or even Liverpool. Then see the way they have been playing, then you will realise what I am talking about.

Manure are not as good as their ever-so-loyal cockney and irish fans like us to think they are. Alas, some of us actually watch ALL their games so know they are talking the usual pile of old SAF. Chelsea? POOR beating an even poorer team, and if that is the best the "second" team can do against Coventry...what an academy! What a scouting system that has developed! Pay over the odds for the obvious and bring on nobodies who'll go nowhere. Just like Chelsea. United aren't a team; just a collection of spoilt, petulant brats surrounded by fawning sycophants. Looking forward to the tension (clearly visible during the Chelsea game) between Rooney and Tevez developing. Chelsea from Hammersmith and Fulham (they have that in common with United, a fake name) are a mediocre club that just fell bass ackwards into money and the need for Sky to hype the hell out of someone.

I think eventually Arsenal would pull away from ManU or loose steam but I don't see thing being close if both sides continue to play the way they are doing at the moment.

Last year and the 2years before that, it was kind of easy to predict who might win the league. But this year, it looks very tough.All 4 clubs are in it. They are all looking really strong and playing some good football, except chelsea but for sure they will bounce back.As for the arses flying off i doubt it. A repeat of 0 losses in a season is unlikely,and sooner or later they will falter.they have had easy games, such as the derby game,which to me, seems to have given everybody the idea that they will destroy everyone,but derby conceded 15 goals in 3 matches, so we are yet to see the true firepower of the arses.As for us (manutd),we have a strong team,but we yet havent reached our best, and we cant be really sure of how good we will be until we do reach our true level of play.1-0 wins is not the manutd way of winning,and liverpool will get these off games from time to time,especially if they dont play torres like the birmingham game,so really this season is wide wide open,we might be able to guess who will

arsenal will win it... i'm sad for chelsea...

But what a great start by the Arsenal. Spuds away, Sevilla (reigning uefa cup holders)at home, now the 'Ammers away. Not easy games beforehand, but fantastic football took us through. Arsene knows

I'm a gooner so I'm predicting we'll get it based on our top form. I think Liverpool will push us with their squad but seem to be more of a cup team nowerdays (credit to them, what a cup team) not able to last the whole season. Man Utd fans must be kidding themselves. You've got a real gem with Rooney and the old boys (fair play for still putting in good performances) Scholes and Giggs. But you haven't got what it takes anymore, you can't keep buying the league forever. Last season Liverpool and Arsenal fell away and Man Utd got it thanks to unbelievable luck and Chelseas unbelievable never ending line of injuries. But before that everyone was questioning whether SAF would be able to do it again. I can safely say that last seasons title will by SAF's last. His golden generation are moving on and besides Rooney Man Utd just can't replace them with the same quiality NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU SPEND. C.Ronaldo is scum who only scores against relegation battlers. Easily the most overrated player i have ever se

Id like you to quote this comment come the end of the season, worry also from the blue half of manchester chasing behind arsenal. Mock all you will but we were supposed to be in bottom 3 and sven was a dire manager according to this site. Look not at your sticker book but at the results!!!

Arsenal , having spent very little, are looking the part. As a liverpool fan, i can't be blindly optomistic considering the dire performances we have put in of late. We are severly lacking the kind of match winning flair arsenal have in abundance. It would be stupid to write chelsea off after such a short time but my gut says man utd and the arse will be consistent enough to take the title. Everyone harps on about Liverpools defence but that has never been a problem, its the inconsistent and definitely not world class wingers and strikers(torres aside) that we have. Kuyt is a headless giraffe, im sick of hearing about work rate,he needs to score more. Pennant is overhyped, babel is nowhere near the finished article, riise is useless, and aurelio is rubbish. Only beny onion is looking the part and for some reason, eve though he has premiership experience, he rarely plays. Lfc need to buy some genuinely world class flair players and a striker who poaches goals from nothing. Crouch can go to city for 15m before

liverpools league tnis year.arsenal are just to young,but i worry about them in the future.l.f.c.forever
by murtala hamza on October 07, 2007
well, i think arsenal can hold the challenge because if you can look at the way they are playing this seasson you just have to be suprise.just look at the way cesc fabregas and flamini are playing in the midfield you just can't say anything about that so i think arsenal manager arsene wenger and his young boyz can hold the challenge. murtala hamza a young gunner by birth.
