arsenal have CL which will take quite a bit out of them as the season goes on, and we have a better squad than them as is. tbf to spurs they have played man citeh and utd in their first 2 games so lets not condemn them to mid-table mediocrity just yet. i do except us to finish in 4th not easily but comfortably by about 9/10 points, and tbh the top 3 all have potentially big holes in their team, utd's inexperience, chelsea's players seem to have no connection and although im a fan of his villas-boas is very inexperienced and we don't know how he would deal with a crisis on the pitch or the pressure of working for abramovich. and citeh only have an okay manager imo, and they will get distracted by the CL and although certain corners of the media sensationalise the problems in their dressing room, they dont have any real team spirit or any leaders. so maybe just maybe we could seek into the top 3.
Have to agree there, top teams have problems, may be not visible problems yet but they may get found out later in the season, we have a good squad that should be challenging without any major injuries. My prediction is we will be 3rd right behind the manchester clubs, chelsea on 4th.
