Also unbelievable - Arsenal are top in December

[boundngag]

None of the pundits seemed to think it would last. To be honest, I didn't either. But now I am more optimistic than I have been in ages. Arsenal are playing well, the squad seems to have more depth, with more to come when Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain come back. Podolski can play up front, as can Walcott, who is now back from injury. So many of our players seem to have improved this season - Mertesacker, Sagna's playing well again, Ramsey, Wilshere and Giroud. If Wenger buys another striker in January (I hope he does; I worry he won't), then I think we have a real chance this season. I don't think Chelsea or Man City are as good as pundits make out. They seem to think Chelsea and Man City are the best teams in Europe. I'm unsure what this is based on. They also seem to describe every English player as 'fantastic' or 'brilliant', in the face of any evidence to the contrary. Bizarrely, the worst at this appears to be Alan Hansen - and he's not even English! He also seems to be the worst over-hyper of Chelsea and Man City, which is odd, as he played for Liverpool. What is his agenda?!

Everton are also playing good football and are in 5th position. Certain pundits seemed to think they had peaked and that it would only be downhill after Moyes left. In my opinion, the season so far has proved one thing - the overrated manager is David Moyes.

Gillingham are now 17th in League one and look like they have a good chance of staying up. I was surprised they sacked Martin Allen, but they appear to have improved under Peter Taylor - except in the F.A Cup that is!!!
