Ok so the league is tighter than ever this season. It's all getting rather exciting! First off I'm a Man United fan (although I support my local team East Fife). I'll try to be as unbiased as I can but I can't promise anything when it comes to liverpool and chelsea!
League Table:

Stats (Goals scored, top scorer's, etc):
http://www.skysports.com/football/stats ... 60,00.html
Let's start the discussions with the Chelsea - Man United match yesterday afternoon:
--Should the goal from the corner counted (the Giggs, Rooney short one) --Ronaldo's goal was on-side? --Chelsea are struggling for goals? --Drogba doesn't look interested
-edit- Pole added, teams in order of current position in the league.

My personal opionion is that the goal should have been counted. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it in my opinion. The Chelsea defenders were just switched off and it caught them off guard, it was obviously something straight from the training ground.
Ronaldo's goal was deffinetly on-side, the amount of bad desicisons being made by linesman is rediculous. An extremley well-timed run and pass almost always ends up in an offside desicion. It's rediculous.
I'm not so sure about Chelsea this season. Anelka isn't a week-in week-out goalscorer and who knows when he'll take another stropp? He's Chelsea's only real stiker at the moment as in my opinion Drogba just doesn't have the hunger anymore.

true the championship is always an entertaining leage but the premiership is split like that. It's really the top 3 this season with Villa and Arsenal fighting it out for 4th (which is probably the most interesting abttle this season). While the rest of the league I find very entertaining.
Try watching any Scottish football mate, especially the Premier. It's home to some of the most mudane football on earth.

Come on the Eagles!
But i am a Liverpool fan first and foremost and we are throwing away whatever title chances we have had. Draws against Stoke (x2), Fulham, Hull and West Ham are gonna bite us on the balls come May.
Rafa has gone back to his rotation policy again and the fans aren't happy, You can't leave 2 strikers on the bench like Torres and Keane and still expect to win. We should be punishing teams and performing like what we have done against Chelsea and Man Utd.
But I agree about what Fifer said about Chelsea, Drogba's heart isn't there anymore, there's no invention from the players, Essien is so sorely missed and Anelka can't do it on the big stage. But still even with Liverpool's problems, Chelsea look like they are out of the race.
Scolari needs to get big results in the next few games to show what Chelsea are made of.

Too bad you're playing in the Premier League next season then
I'm a Liverpool supporter as well, so I'm pretty disappointed by last weekend's results. I think the title race is starting now, and I'm pretty surprised to see Chelsea almost out of it. They're certainly not out yet, but if we beet them in two weeks time, which I hope we will, they'll could as well forget about the title.
Well, it's a long race, as Rafa likes to say "one game at a time". So bring on the Toffees
P.S.
I have a suggestion, but dunno if it's possible. Can we add a poll "Which team do you support" with all the teams included of course, and also the option "I don't support any PL team" or something.

Another Liverpool supporter here lol
I agree with what Stuie has said, I'm surprised at the points being thrown away lately, I feel that Rafa is relying on the failures of other teams (namely Chelsea) in order to stay on top til now, it makes me feel uneasy

Rafa's the man, no question about it.
Sure he makes mistakes, but who doesn't.
The title league in the Premeir League would've been as exciting as in La Liga, have we won all the easy games Would have loved it of course, but Liverpool FC always likes to do things the hard way

Good idea n/a, poll added!
Jesus a lot of Liverpool scum in here! (haha only kidding guys). What's with Banetiz and his digs at Sir Alex? Sounds like he's feeling the pressure!

So, you decided not to add a neutral option, or is the poll limited to 20 choices?
Also, if you could just capitalise Premier League in the title. I tend to be sort of a perfectionist, and also work with documentation, so this sort of things really do mean a lot to me, thanks

Arsenal FTW!
The prettiest football combined with Wenger, the biggest football genius alive.
Who cares about results or titles, i wanna watch entertaining football, not gay Ronaldo and sissy Drogba, battling who can suck more cock in 90 minutes.
Although professional football is going down the drain with all these multi-billionaire chairmen.
EDIT: 100-th post! YAY-YAY!
