A quarter of the season in...

[stressederic]

Right with ten games played now, we've just gone past a quarter of a season, so lets test the water and see what people are thinking.

 

Obviously this isn't scientific, it's just to see how people have viewed the season so far.

 

Feel free to not answer (certain) questions for fear of creating an unpleasant situation.

 

Who will win the league?

Top four?

Relegated?

Player of the season so far?

Game of the season so far?

Goal of the season so far?

Surprise of the season?

 

For me it's:

 

Who will win the league? - I thought Chelsea at the start of the season. I'm just going to tail off now because I don't really want to answer it.

Top four? Chelsea, Arsenal, United & Us. Not in that order though.

Relegated? Stoke, West Brom, Bolton.

Player of the season so far? Not sure if anyone has really stood out properly yet this season. Be tempted to say Zaki because of the surprise factor.

Liverpool player of the season? Kuyt

Game of the season so far? By the sounds of it, Arsenal - Spurs is the main contender.

Goal of the season so far? I'm going to go for Geovanni's against Arsenal.

Surprise of the season? A split between Hull and Redknapp going to Spurs.

Having just seen MOTD I'd like to change my goal of the season to David Bentley.

But they'll be way behind in our vapour trail by then.

Top four? Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Aston Villa

I reckon that's a decent shout.

 

Arsenal are already off the pace and they still have to play us, Utd and Chelsea home & away, as well as Spurs away. If Villa are lucky with injuries then I think they have a decent chance of getting into the CL places.

 

In the meantime, the press will wax lyrical when Arsenal's 2nd string thump someone in the League Cup and talk about the great future ahead of the club, whilst Fabregas starts eyeing the exit door.

 

Shows you how important Flamini was for them last season and how negligent it was for Wenger to allow him to leave/not replace him (assuming the cash was available). The keeper and centre-backs were also crying out for attention.

All very well said.

One of the most bizarre decisions in recent footballing history that. He was the core of their midfield and they seemed to let him go to prove a point.
