First weekend in the PL is no indication of how things will go as some teams are slower starters than others.

If Arsenal want Benzema they'd better act quickly.

Yep, we have definitely started slowly. Mind you I'm not sure how quick we can go! I'll put yesterday's loss down to first day nerves and an excess of adrenaline. They say you learn alot more from losing your first game in the Premier league than winning. Gives a nice sense of perspective and all that jazz.

I don't rate Benzema, misses stacks of chances at Real.

Geez, the new Arsenal keeper had a bad day.

Fine goal from Coutinho for Liverpool.

I never quite bought into the media hype that Arsenal will finish ahead of Manchester City this season.

The season is one game old. I still think they will.

man city might struggle big time defensively this year , kompany doesn't look the player he was, de michelis is average at best and mangala is always a disaster waiting to happen

really surprised they haven't tried to strengthen in central defence

way, way too early to be making any predictions, especially when there are 3 more weeks before the transfer deadline

I don't know who's for sale? Stones might be worth a punt, if you want a CB. Still, he's more for the future than the now.

As for predictions. I'm betting Leicester won't be top in May!!
