With the Premiership in its 8th week, The table is already telling how the season might look like. Teams springing up here and down there, I guess the only team that hasn't yet sprung a surprise is Pompey. Portsmouth FC having sold many of the starting players(Crouch, Defoe, Kranjar, Sol,Etc),one could easily expect the kinda fate that they are already getting.
Other than them every other team to some extent, have improved on somewhat their early season expectations. While there were grumblings over the Ronaldo's departure,Man Utd have still found ways to get points out of games (even though the team is obviously not as strong as the last term's).Arsenal have again proved their attacking prowess by scoring the highest in the league so far, a 6-1 and 6-2 against everton and blackburn respectively are particular highlight.Looking at it from the view that arsenal didn't start well last term.Chelsea undoubtly depends on their team spirit.Without any major signings, have so far strenghted their team spirit. So far, it has worked for them, esp in the case of Drogba and Anelka.A new manager, a new mentality, see them occupy the top spot so far in this campaign. Well, time would tell Ancelotti's success, as his successor slipped off focus after some outstanding wins early last season.
Liverpool's inconsistentency though is still a problem.Having lost their 3rd game, it puts them in a tight corner, especially when you consider that every point dropped, might prove vital in the latter stages this season.Liverpool too face strong threats from the likes of Villa, Man City, Everton, and Tottenham.Man City, have dropped only 5 points.With a game in hand, the could go straight to 2nd if they and Chelsea don't drop points before the play their in hand game.Tottenham also are a team to watch this season having improved, especially with their attacking back into last-minute goal scoring forms.The Villans too are candidates for the big four breakdown.Having almost done that last term,The still look like a threat, especially after beating liverpool and drawing man city.Everton, having the brightest record of doing the same.Unfortunately having started badly would still be expected to pull be there and then by the end of May.
Join me again as i continue tomorrow, When we'll discuss the more potential upsets (the average teams)
