On paper they are probably one of the poorest sides in the league. They have had an easy start to the season, but fair dues to them, they've luckily scraped together the results needed to be where they are now. Make no mistake, we are by far the better side and will finish well above them.

Did this a while ago and have just totted up the placings on last years league ladder again for the 9 games:

 

Us: 

 

Arsenal 4th

Spurs 5th

Fulham 8th

Villa 9th

Sunderland 10th

Blackburn 15th

Wigan 16th

Wolves 17th

QPR 21st

 

Total placings 105  W5  D4  L0

 

Sunderland:

 

Chelsea 2nd

Arsenal 4th

Liverpool 6th

WBA 11th

Newcastle 12th

Stoke 13th

Bolton 14th

Norwich 22nd

Swansea 23rd

 

Total placings 107  W2  D3  L4

 

Very similar obviously but technically Sunderland have had the slightly easier fixtures. Certainly not enough to moan at and come out with shite like "they've not played anyone yet", "easy start". We've beaten the shite and grabbed points here and there.

we win one game? and its top 6 already.... come on get your shit together. to repeat 10th this season will be an achievement. 8-12 it will be. and thats only if we can play like the 2nd half vs bolton. even that out of the 9 games was kinda of flash in pan.

That win means they are now champions league material with a chance of winning the universe cup, brewcie is the best manager in the world again.

 

Nah, they still hate him but this just shows what they would do every week if Ancelotti was in charge.

jukeboxromeo: Relegation a realistic prospect? You've had a shit hand with the fixtures, but that's now home defeats to Norwich and Sunderland and doesn't sound like you played well at all in either.

Not sure that's quite right. Using the same system with the current table tells a slightly different story. Of course, at this point in the season the table is highly volatile. Winning or losing to a club can bump them down or up the table; we've created (to some extent) our "easy" schedule and Sunderland their difficult one.

 

Us: 

 

Arsenal 7th

Spurs 5th

Fulham 17th

Villa 11th

Sunderland 14th

Blackburn 20th

Wigan 19th

Wolves 17th

QPR 10th

 

Total placings 120  W5  D4  L0

 

Sunderland:

 

Chelsea 3rd

Arsenal 7th

Liverpool 5th

WBA 12th

Newcastle 4th

Stoke 9th

Bolton 18th

Norwich 8th

Swansea 15th

 

Total placings 81  W2  D3  L4

 

 

I don't think that using last season's standings accurately reflect the difficulty of the fixtures. Newly promoted clubs are not the easiest of fixtures. They're notoriously difficult. Using your method a promoted club scores at 21 (at best)-- Norwich, QPR, and Swansea are playing better (right now) than Bolton, Wigan, or Blackburn. To pretend otherwise is ludicrous.

 

 

Anyway,

ROBIN VAN PERSIE

 

Forward

Arsenal

 

It's not very often I pick someone who came on as a substitute in my team of the week. However Robin van Persie's contribution in just 23 minutes was sufficient to put Stoke to the sword and me in awe. He did it last week against Newcastle but he did it in record time this week.

 

Did you know? Van Persie has scored more than half (25/48) of Arsenal's Premier League goals in 2011.

 

 

It's as if he can't even bring himself to name Sunderland  ;D

According to Sky Sports Sunderland have the quietest fans in the league on average decibels #SAFC #nufc #boro

 

Not surprising really.

 

 

Surprises me, the way their stadium is built lends itself to amplifying the sound...

So their stadium is very loud on paper?
