so yeah, the things which i guess people will have a hard time seeing might be the race for 1st (Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool), 4th (Arsenal, Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton), and Derby's survival in the relegation battle.

That's why he's under-estimating Arsenal - because I'd say we're at the level of Liverpool. I'd say Spurs aren't far from that level either, for clarification. I still see this season as a two-horse race with a three-horse race for the other two CL spots. Everton will still be looking at a UEFA Cup spot and there'll be at least 10 points between the 5th and 6th placed teams.

I predicted them to finish upper-mid-table last season before they signed the Argies. Not much has changed in the in-between times. We'll see.
