Not sure about Liverpool. Maybe. As I was saying at the start of the season though, you don't win the title in the first 10 games, but you can lose it as we did last year. This year we're in touch and for now that's enough. It would be nice to be 5 points clear, or whatever, but would that make anyone on here feel confident we'd last the distance? We've had some very good results and a few really poor ones. But, for now, we're in the mix. And, for now, that's enough.

Unfortunately I think our train is stuck on the tracks - I don't see how he can change them now unless he makes an impressive signing in January and I think that's unlikely. We're stuck with the squad we have and if we fail to challenge because of injuries and a lack of squad depth then Wenger should be sacked. The next few games will tell us a bit more about our credentials. We messed up the first 'easy' game but we have a few more before the City game.
