Yes hence the reason why I said the top teams were weaker, Liverpool lost 2 games last year and didn't even win it, the winner this year will lose 3 or 4 times that, unheard of in recent years.

I also think the other teams in the league have been stronger. Take out Liverpool and United and most of the other teams are stronger than last year. Arsenal certainly are. Chelsea kept up the performance from the end of last season. City, Fulham, Stoke, Spurs, Birmingham, even some of the struggles at the bottom.

Chelsea aren't stronger, they are another year older with no fresh faces.

In fact Arsenal's performance this year mirrors that of United somewhat. United did very poor against the top 4 last year, Liverpool had the initiative, but United were consistant against the other teams and Liverpool were not.

Apart from the fact Utd only lost 4 games last year.
