Lucky wins in their opening games for Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs and other struggling clubs. This will give them all false hopes of a top-half finish.
Man City face childishly underskilled opposition later, and their win in their opening game will cover the magnitude of their grave underinvestment over the Summer. I am told they are being managed by a bottle of sparkling water. An odd choice.
Arsenal still the big favourites in my book, with an FA Cup, League Cup, CL and Premier League quadruble triumph still a very real possibility.
It may have failed to register with some blinkered so-called experts, but they are still very much in all four competitions.
I would pick out individual players for particular praise, but spelling foreign names is not my strong point.
