its beginning to heat up now whose everyones money on? are arsenal out of the race at this stage.
chelsea playing well now that drogba is back will only get better when essien returns. man utd also flying rooney playing unreal and nani starting to play to his potential will make for a very interesting finish to season

Arsenal aren't out of it but they have too many flaws.

All the teams have flaws, they're all dropping points but Arsenal wouldn't convince me defensively, and they need a lot of possession to score against the top teams. Van Persie is a massive loss. Fabregas is genius of course.

I think United. They were very lucky to be in touch after being muck for three months, Nani's sending off is a pity for him, he was finally moving well. But Valencia has been flying. Chelsea are obviously there or thereabouts but they haven't convinced me. I suppose they could pick it up too, Drogba is lashing in some goals. But I think United do this so often, they're written off every October and then they find a way. It's as inevitable as a Kildare supporter over-reacting to a football result in February
