City's best performance of the season when it mattered. They're obviously a very good team. So are Utd. It's going to be an exciting season. Bring on Dec 9th.

Great performance from City, they executed the gameplan well and were the better side. Pep needs to top being criticised now, he is arguably the best tactical mind in football right now.
I get your point and you get mine, beating a contender or not is semantics. They have Liverpool/Chelsea out of their fixture list with positive results. We haven't played anyone serious so far. There is a logic in seeing them more favorite than us unless one is being truly obtuse about it.
They didn't even trouble Fabian Delph ffs!
I thought you looked alright with Morata on, and without any real chance after he went off.
The voice of reason. Nice!
As far as I'm concerned they're favorites just cause of the team. They have the best team. They haven't really proved till now they'll walk or piss the league. They've been good but by some their games have been completely overrated. Today for instance Chelsea was below par.
Is he really?
Chelsea were below par but for me that was all down to City winning the midfield battle and then hemming then in in the last 3rd, we just totally controlled the game to prevent them from actually playing.
This is only said during the second half of the season not in September. They didn't get any fixtures out of their list. They can lose to both in the second half of the season when things will actually matter in the race. Now it's all about building momentum.
Much better.
Any other team apart from these lot and maybe Pool, I would enjoy the football with no regret. Like following a second team when you aren't watching United.
I watched the replay of Crouch goal in Stoke vs Southampton, I was like what is van Dijk doing?? And I thought this guy is supposed to be worth 50m - 60m pounds. Either he turned himself into a poor defender or he just didn't give a fek about his team.
Morata is very arguably Chelsea's best player right now -- a 1-0 loss to City after he goes off injured early in the game is nothing to sneeze at.
for all the great start we have... it'll be a long squeaky bum season, hopefully city implode after december
They did though, it's a fact you cannot argue
. We still have to play Liverpool twice and only once for them ... Same with Chelsea. It doesn't actually mean anything, being a favorite means feck all anyway. It's just that I understand why they're considered like that, on top of having one the best squads in the league.They did though, it's a fact you cannot argue
There's no doubt they are title favorite and have the best squad in the league. What I want to say is "getting the fixture out of the list" is only said after playing both games, not just one and not in September.
What we can say is they got rid of the Bridge visit that early in the season.
Meh, semantics. It's still a fixture no ?
Well, supposedly yes. I just feel this phrase is used better during the second half of the win when each win and getting rid of each opponent really matters.
Hope for a good win and some other Laca's goals today
Chelsea still look good as a team IMO. There are clear patterns in their play, they're still solid and obviously well coached. However, it's a whole new situation for them with CL fixtures, and maybe not having that extra bit of motivation from last year.
Arsenal fans slacking. Where are the lineups?
Reckon Arsenal will smash them. 3-0.
Hope so. Need a big win after Chelsea's defeat yesterday.
Great start for Arsenal.
What an effort from Lacazette
Is Welbeck injured again?
Off the post.
Christ! What a hit by Laca! He hits the post! We have been crying for strikers likes him for years.
Yep, groin injury. Out for a few weeks
We are playing very well atm.
Does not look like Brighton are going to put up much of a fight.
This will be ugly.
The Emirates is such a soulless bowl.
Crouch scores for Arsenal. 1-0
Monreal scores.
Finally.
Won't bother watching anymore, this has a big Arse victory written all over it.
That was good by Bellerin.
Nope, there's no easy games in this league. No sir.
Brighton are terrible. Not sure if the top 6 have got better or the rest have just got worse.
