Correct me if Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m wrong (and I know you will ), but have Arsenal actually won a game since (draws against Spurs, Birmingham and Portsmouth), Norwich were lucky against Preston at the weekend and lost last night, and West Brom have lost the last 2.

Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve got 3 theories:
1. Is this simply a case of the better team winning on the night (or not winning but, on the other hand, not losing in the case of Arsenal)?
2. The †˜lowerâà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€Š¾Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¢ teams raising their games against the promoted ones?
3. The promoted teams / champions getting complacent as their season is already effectively over ?
West brom's team was the same one that won against Crewe a few weeks back, Stoke had a very weak side out (Not weak, but .... let's say a few youngsters in it..)
