Liverpool are also not in their normal position. Only the top 3 are the usual suspects found in the Champions League spots. I would have said Spurs and Villa before but they seem to be slipping a bit. It is mostly the same. This is the beauty, or drawback, of a league. Teams can have good runs of form, there can be surprises, but the sheer amount of games means there is an invertible regression to the mean in most cases. The season has been the most interesting for years but looking at the table now and there are few shocks. In the end the good teams usually get the results in the course of 38 games.
I love the league myself. You can't fault it. If your 1st you were the best team. No arguments. Man United are not worse than Leeds but lost to them, great for exictment but the FA is not the test of a team. United are however better than Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Villa, City and so on. Chelsea, so far, are slightly better than them. It's the only real test IMO. (Although I love the Champions League as well).

Who else thinks it was a penalty against Fabregas last night? Micah Richards got pulled for a similar action early in the season

It wasn't a penalty because it was outside the box. Would have been a free-kick.

I just don`t understand why they allways try and play through teams rather that get to the bye-line and cross it, it seems the score when they go to the wings...

Arsenal are much more successful at scoring by passing though the defence and sliding it in. They have been like that for a long time, I have lost count of the amount of times Henry just slid a ball past the keeper with the side of his foot. Wonderful. That kind of football is just how Arsenal play. The type of goal we scored last night, crossed from the wings, is a rarity for our squad because we don't have great headers of the ball and quite a short team.
