    Nah. Come January (African Nations Cup) and when they get injuries/suspensions they'll falter. Man Poo are still our closest rivels for me. They (Poo) were poxy again last night.

    They are playing well and building confidence,but they have not played any decent team yet only then will we be able to judge how far they have come on this season.

    might be a good point alright,that they aint played any decent teams but there aint many decent teams in the premiership :D

    personally i'm not too sure they will have the stamina to go all the way.but yes they are building confidence at the moment so ya never know.and yes the african nations may hurt them at an important part of the season.

    lads i love the way yez say our closest challengers,we hav'ent even won the leauge since 1990 so.........................:D:D

    Arsenal are certainly coasting along on a wave of confidence at the moment, I think that turn around against Fulham on the first day of the season has really inspired them. But as was said already, they haven't played any decent teams yet. Remember when they lost their unbeaten run at OT a few years back and never recovered, here's hoping the same happens when they come to Anfield in a few weeks.

    they are playing very at the moment alot of young exciting players who seem to be expressing themselves more now that henry is gone they have to look for more options
    real deal? will have to wait and see .the lack of experienced players and and africian nations cup will have a big effect on their season but rumour has it they have money to spend come jan

    Arsenal have played well so far alright,but they like everyone else will have a bad patch.We have had ours already i think and we still are only 4 points off the pace and ahead of chelsea and man poo when we win our game in hand.They for me anyway are not strong enough to challange on all fronts.Not enough strength in depth at all.African nations cup will be the nail in the coffin for them this year,that said if we cant bring home number 19 then id like to see them win it:)

    Arsenal definitely look the most promising so far. I thought when Henry left they would be screwed. Some great talent there. I will be at the match against them at Anfield at the end of the month. Can't wait!!!

    Arsenal look strong but after the Bolton game it gets tough us and the scum in consecitive games, and they have a really tricky run of fixtures in december. Van Perie missing for the next month could hurt them.

    definately the real deal. play some classy football. years of investment in and development of youth are reaping the rewards. patience is also a key factor to note here. Arsenal haven;t won the league in 3 years but were any panic buttons pressed at the club or was the manager put under pressure by fans or the board. No, because he was building something big toward the future.

    Whether they have the bottle to win the league this season will be determined later in the season
