Till they beat us they'd won one game in 6, now they've won 3 in 9 and concede goals at quite a high rate. They've not picked up injuries to their entire spine at the same time as the big 3 have
Utd-Ferdinand,Valencia,Fletcher,Rooney
Chavs-Terry,Alex,Lampard,Essien,Dogbreath
Us- Almunia(ok his injuries a blessing),TV5,Fabregas,RvP.
The equivalent for them would be Gomes,King,Bale,VdV.
They lose all 4 at once and they become average up front and pretty average at the back.
I didn't include Defoe because he's not that good, he's made to look good when he scores shed loads against shit teams like Hull,Wigan etc. Bent is miles better than that twat. Even his own fans think he's s**t

If they reinforce in January and Bale stays injury free and VdV's injury is short term and their new signings gel and don't do an Asprilla on them then fine, I would say contenders but FFS Scum fans and twitchy loving media wind your necks in, the season ends in MAY. That's also lots of ifs

Win a league title in colour TV before saying you're the no 1 team in London, till then do us all a favour and shut the f**k up........You know what, keep talking yourselves up and if and when you fall away I'll await patiently the DVD of year 51 of abject failure
