City very poor today but Arsenal were impressive. United need to press as a team like they did. Gave City no space or time.

Let's get over Hull and Ipswich 1st. ?
I see Arsenal as red-hot favourites, but it's not easy playing as champions.
If Arsenal do falter, it's wide open, imo.
It's the most open it's been for years; lots of question marks over all the big sides, with the exception of Arsenal.
I think all the other traditional big clubs have new coaches, so there will be ups and downs for them all.
I think it will be as close a season as we've had for a long time.
I don't know why, but I think Arsenal will not find it easy.

I disagree. I think Arsenal will walk the league this year. They are so far ahead of everybody else.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea finish second.

Agree with above. Arsenal's strength in depth, quality and continuity will have them miles ahead. As for the rest, who knows, but I won't be shocked to see Chelsea and Spurs in the top 4 and having good seasons. I expect City will drop off, but not off a cliff; too much quality. As of now, that's my top 4.

Fallguy, Arsenal have had the best squad for the last 3 seasons. They could walk the league, but I think they are going to continue to be hamstrung by their coach. He seeks out drama like a heat missile, and he just doesn't seem to trust the team to express themselves.
Maybe they'll push on from last year and dominate, but I don't see it.
As for Chelsea: to finish second, everything would have to fall on place for them, but they could do it for sure.

Arsenal, Liverpool, City, I think, top three in that order. We will be fourth, and I think that Santos and Tielemans are going to make us a lot better than last year. I think these two signings are being slept on somewhat.
Liverpool, I think, will be the team to push Arsenal, with Szlobowhatsit being Player of the Year.

Nah Oakbark, Liverpool's defence isn't good enough.

They're way ahead as much as it pains me to say it. ?
