"Everton can win the Premier League"

From Wenger after the Citeeh match.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger refused to lavish praise upon six-goal Manchester City, bizarrely suggesting that Saturday’s opponents were no better than Everton or Southampton.

Manchester City were at their brilliant best once again at the Etihad Stadium against Arsenal, as a performance of relentless attacking flair handed Manuel Pellegrini’s side a 6-3 victory to move City within three points of the Gunners at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

But Wenger didn’t see anything special about the home side’s display, and rejected suggestions that City are now the team to beat in the race for the title: ‘I don’t know. We’ll see.

'They are one of the teams to beat, but not more than any other one that we have played until now.

‘We have played Everton, who were as good as City. We have played Southampton who were as good as City.’

‘What hurts me more is that we had an opportunity to put Man City nine points behind us tonight but now they are just three points behind. That is very difficult to swallow. Man City were not unbeatable today.

‘It was a difficult game. We had the best defence in the league and we conceded many goals today. Honestly, we could have scored at least six as well.

‘It was a very open game and on our front, we made too many mistakes. Our strength until now was our defensive discipline and that went as the game went on and in the second-half. Embrace: City celebrate Negredo's goal to give them the lead again Embrace: City celebrate Negredo's goal to give them the lead again

Wenger, who was frustrated after the midday kickoff meant that his side were not as ‘fresh as they should be for a big game’, was also disappointed with referee Martin Atkinson’s performance, after Arsenal had a penalty claim turned down when the ball appeared to strike the arm of Pablo Zabaleta in the City area.

‘I think we had a penalty turned down and the referee had a bad game.’ Wenger stated.

Arsenal have got Chelsea (h), West Ham (a), Newcastle (a) and Cardiff (h). I predict 7 points (DWLW).
Chelsea have Arsenal (a), Swansea (h), Liverpool (h) and Southampton (a). I guess 6 points (DWDD).
City have got Fulham (a), Liverpool (h), Palace (h) and Swansea (a). 10 points (DWWW)
Liverpool have got Spurs (a), Cardiff (h), City (a), Chelsea (a) and Hull (h). 8 points (DWLDW)
We've got Swansea (a), Sunderland (h), Southampton (h) and Stoke (a). 6 points (DWDD)

So the table on New Year's Day would be:

1. City 42 pts
2. Arsenal 42 pts
3. Chelsea 39 pts
4. Liverpool 38 pts
5. Everton 37 pts

Chelsea and the RS have tougher runs than us but I think we might struggle to break down our opposition.

I honestly don't understand how you can have Liverpool taking 8 points from their far more difficult fixtures and us getting 6 points from ours.

Is this a wind up?? You think the RS away to Spuds, City and Chelski + one winnable home game will out-perform us by 2 points? Is RAWK offline or something. :-0

We should only drop points at Newcastle away I'd say. Should easily win all our home games and should win Fulham.

FFS give it a rest, you.

Pathetic stuff.
