The first was spectacular but total hit-and-hope. Shades of "Nayim from the halfway line".
The third was proper pukka but only Scousers will be touting it as "goal of the season" by May.

Possibly. Still a lot games to go - plenty of time for Suarez to outdo himself.
,
Six wins on the trot at home. Four clean sheets on the trot. 
Tonights performance was scintillating. The passing, the positioning and the passion in chasing the ball when we did not have it was total football.
You lot out there can keep stating we cannot win the title but we keep winning. You say we have not played any of the big teams yet but you can only beat what is in front of you.
We are top of the table, we deserve to be but more importantly we have done it playing "pretty" football, the way it's meant to be played.

Gotta admit that Arse are looking pretty convincing so far. Chelsea are winning games but we're leaking goals, and your lot are looking better than they have for years. Then there's City.
I'm thinking of looking for odds on the title being decided on goal difference.
I think you are correct to identify Chelsea and Manchester City as the only threats other than the makeup of our squad of course.
We have two other factors in our benefit, still no one thinks we can we the title and we have confidence we can.

Dunno about that. Hopefully you'll start dropping points as fitness and squad depth comes into play in the new year (and Chels start to pull away
), but I wouldn't bet against you at the moment.

I thought you lot had been beaten 4-3
Currently reading Capital by John Lanchester, if you have not already read it you should. Chelsea, Arsenal, Brixton and south London. Freddy Kamo.
Want some some mood music?
This is what we are doing to the league.

Ha!
This weekend will be interesting. I reckon you could drop points against Everton and we should do Stoke, closing the gap to 1 or 2 points. Liverpool could put 4 past West Ham, and City will stuff Southampton. So no change in positions but only 4 points separating 1st and 4th with Everton and the other Scousers equal on points (if I've got the sums right).
Best season for years now that United aren't in it!

I would not underestimate Southampton especially at home but agree City should win (but will drop points.) You know what it is like going to play Stoke, Everton are going nicely their bubble is about to burst.
The tempo will remain the same, mind the gap.
It's a good season for all EPL fans.

... mind the gap.
I've got a virtual tenner that says we're on 33 and you're on 34 or 35 on Monday!
Ok, i'll do the math (in detail) and get back to you with a virtual tenner of my own to match against yours.
You maybe interested in this sideshow about also rans Liverpool;

The next eight games before the FA Cup 3rd round - Some must wins - no excuses - possibility of actually getting some points at Spurs, maybe a point at Chelsea, Man City will probably be a tad to strong at home. I'm gonna predict 19 points out of those 8 games

Arsenal's match against Everton on 8 December 2013 is dedicated to The Arsenal Foundation. Arsène Wenger and the first-team squad will donate a day's wages to support a variety of projects which reach young people to transform lives.

Berbatov playing really well against Villa, would still like to acquire him in the January window (on a free, on loan.)

Not sure you'd want Berbatov's personality in your dressing room, especially as he's mostly gonna be a sub.

Not really a Wenger type of player either.Shame we have' nt already qualified for the CL knockout stages,if we had I'm sure Wenger would send a second string team to Napoli on Wed esp considering we are away to Citeh next weekend.

60,000 applaud Mandela. Beautiful.
Everton have started well and Jenkinson is in for a tough match.
Everton are destroying us down our right hand flank and running through us in midfield almost unchallenged, they also dominate possession.
Everton have been superb, passing and possession. They own the midfield. The last few minutes of the half we look like we are about to click, we are close to scoring against the run of play. The crowd are playing their part.
Koscielny has been outstanding against Lukaku.
0-0 half time, take that and come out better.

0-0 looks like a fair result for this one. Keep up that good defending both teams!
The tide has turned we are looking so much better, this will be a cracking second half.
Let's get Walcott and/or Rosicky on.
