Agreed, ourselves and the 2 manc sides will be in the top 3, chelsea will probably clinch 4th at arsenals expense

Maybe, most on here voted as 4th as a minimum finish. As long as at a minimum 4th is attained the season will be a success.

I also think we could climb higher but it's still early days.

Very ugly for Arsenal yesterday. I honestly think they will drop out of the top 10 this season- judging by the way things are going for them......and lets face it, he will not spend (to late really).

Yep, like some have mentioned already, i'd rather see the Mwanckers in trouble then Arsenal, and as for Tottenham, hmmm, maybe similar to the way Arsenal are going.

Wenger, should never have even contemplated playing such a youthful, but tactically  naive side against the Mancs without having a plan of action .United played the game like it was a training match ,Arsenals ineptitude was there for all to see in the first half ,yet Wenger kept the same formation instead of revising his game plan drastically .United's were allowed to play with an arrogance only they can muster ,and Wenger is at fault .I honestly felt sorry for the suffering Arsenal fans,because lets face it we ourselves are all too familiar with managers being clearly out of their depth .

Teams come and go, it's the natural evolution of the game. Arsenal have a good time at the top, now they are making way for another team to be that regular top four/CL team.

I have not one ounce of sympathy, I WANT them to continue to fail because it is critical to our future successes. If people hadn't of noticed there are only four positions worth finishing in this league, three of which will be sown up.

Agree.  We need fourth.  With Champions league, if we decide to strengthen our squad next summer then we will actually have a chance of getting the Agueros or the Snjeiders.

I felt sorry for Arsenal at first. But then I trawled their forum to see what the mood was like before, during and after they played us. Not sure why but I always thought Arsenal were a decent lot, but they really despise us from what I read. Some really sh1tty comments from them, and some real arrogance. Kinda wanted to sign up and post a big, fat laugh after some of the cr*p I read.

we definitely need that 4th spot or we could be shagged for a couple of seasons with out champions league

Champions league is our first goal 4th spot we need that as a big club

Then we will attract the world class players and be able to fight for the Premiership.

For me, I think we need 3rd to be assured of making the group stage.  4th and it's still a :censored: shoot with the play in round.

I really think 3rd is within our reach.  Why do you think Chelsea will definately grab 3rd.

They have one of the oldest squads, and ok they have imporved very late into the transfer window but I dont think there is much difference between our first 11 and theirs.

The 2 Manc clubs look very strong, but it is very early.  If City have a few bad results (which at the moment doesnt look like will happen) will all their superstars be able to handle failure?  When times get tough that is when you see how together a team really are.  That, unfortunatley seems to be a strength that Man United have, not sure if City have it yet... time will tell

Germany coach Joachim Low has given Arsenal target Per Mertesacker permission to leave the squad's training camp to hold transfer talks and expects him to return tonight having signed for 'a new club'.

signing defenders! Fark me he's actually listened, mind you it was the organisation of the defence that was the biggest concern against Man U and a few were experienced, maybe they need decent coaches as well. And a leader, Jenkinson needed someone to be shouting in his ear
