There are certain facts and logic that can be applied to this if people are prepared to take the blinkers off. I agree with the assessment of the writer.

Arsenal: Outstanding and any doubts about their overall quality and strength in depth have all but been put to bed. Will be in the mix all the way and can win it.

Man Utd.: On top of an outstanding team last year have added Tevez, Nani, Anderson, Hargreaves and Pique, all quality and in the cases of Nani and Anderson well ahead of schedule in terms of making an impression. Will be in the mix all the way and can win it.

Chelsea: Early points dropped but looking back to their best and the overall quality is not in question. Have a bit of work to do to bridge the early gap and need a good run of wins. Will be in the mix all the way and can win it but have an early handicap.

Liverpool: Well off the pace last year and of their new players only Torres makes a significant difference. He in fact highlights the relative mediocrity of the other strikers. Voronin brings nothing new to the party, Babel has not looked the part, while though Benayoun is a good player, central midfield was not a problem area. Not enough overall quality and weaknesses in key positions. Will not be in the mix. Expect to be 7-10 points adrift by halfway and 15 by the end of the season. Should be good enough for 4th though.

1.Man Utd
2.Arsenal
3.Chelsea
4.Liverpool

Expect only a handful of points between the top 3.

Liverpool, Man u and Arsenal (in no particular order dont worry mancs)

I do not understand why you put Liverpool as worse than Chelsea, they are sitting better in the league (they have a match in hand). And no, nobody wil be able to dislodge the ‘top 4′, not this season anyways, but the mid-table teams are showing signs of massive improvement.

- Newcastle has no chance. Had an easy schedule so far and they are horrific on the road. They’ll struggle to land a UEFA place

- I don’t think one 6-0 win by Chelsea means they’re back on track or Man City is exposed as some kind of fraud. Man City has had a tough schedule, they will pick up more talent in transfer window. They’ve got an excellent shot. I’m not sold on Chelsea being in the title hunt. This team can’t score without Lampard and Drogba. Drogba and Essien out for African Nation’s Cup and I could easily see Drogba leaving in that transfer window. This is a better candidate for finishing out of top 4 than Liverpool.

- Blackburn and Pompey look dangerous. Big time credit to Mark Hughes and harry Redknapp

Predictions:

1. Man Utd
2. Arsenal
3. Liverpool
4. Blackburn
5. Chelsea
6. Man City
7. Portsmouth

Probably the usual ‘big 4′ will fill up the top 4 league spots, but hope it doesn’t pan out like that. There now seems to be this accepted/institutionalised sense that the same 4 teams must/deserve to always be the top 4 which i think is ridiculous and more than a bit arrogant and also boring. As a City fan of decades no need to guess who i’d like to gatecrash this incestuous little party, but if not us don’t care who it is, anybody – anybody else

Good year for the league this year. Seems much more competitive in spots 4-10 in the table. Should be extremely enjoyable.
