We have had a really good start to the season, playing good football, I think most fans are happy, but it's early days, the scary thing is with a really good start we are still 4th .....
The way I see it the top teams are going to continue to win games, like this weekend when they all pretty much won, so you need to win just to keep up with the pace, based on what I have see so far I think the top teams will be (in no particular order at this stage):
Liverpool
Man City
Man Utd
Arsenal
Tottenham
That's without Chelsea and their resources/money as I think it will take Conte too much time to sort them and they won't be able to play catch up with the teams above.... Our advantage is no European football, so Klopp can prepare the team and there should be less injuries/fatigue and we can play our best team, rather than resting key players before/post European games.
The minimum these clubs will want is top 4, so who do we see missing out? I think it could be Arsenal this year.

Arsenal seem to get written off every year but I think they will get top 4 as Wenger is in charge.
Tottenham will miss out I think unless Mourinho really messes up.

Hard one to call and could be proper close this year. I think it'll be Spurs or us unfortunately.

this is kind of what I said/not said (deleted) 2 weeks ago, no point in complaining about how it's going to be a high point scoring PL season (considering most of these teams were pitifully consistent (inconsistent) not up to standard/undeserving of winning last season as were we still finished 21 points off the leaders -kicking ourselves-), just have to keep winning, not complain (like I just did, it's frustrating) and focus on our football.

Not really complaining, just wondering what peoples thoughts are after 6 games, it appears the big clubs have raised their game this year, particularly with Guardiola arriving. It's gonna be interesting.....

Based on what? They are unbeaten this season and mounted a title challenge last season. They also have one of the best coaches/managers in the country in Pochettino.

Will be interesting to see how they cope without Kane, they did well at the weekend, I think they have the weakest squad depth wise out of the 5, so will be interesting if they get a few key injuries, especially with the CL games.

I don't disagree, but I also think they have a seriously strong starting line up. Defensively including their goalkeeper I don't think there is a better set up in the Premiership.

I mentioned something similar a while ago. Although the premier league is supposedly second to la liga we have the best managers available.
Conte
Klopp
Wenger
José
Pochetino
Guardiola
They are world class managers. I expected liverpool and Spurs to miss out due to spurs being in CL and having a small squad and us because we still have Moreno
We seem to have had the most difficult start and I hope we build on that and exploit the lack of European football.
I'd take 4th place right now
