  These will be happy...
  
  Arsenal
  It's probably just about safe to call them title contenders. 4 points clear.
  
  Man City
  And this lot are right back in it as well. If Pellegrini was right and those away defeats were just rotten luck, the rest of them should pack up and go home now. The'll not be dropping many (if any) points at home.
  
  Hull
  1st time they've ever beaten Liverpool, not a bad way to bounce back from that home defeat to Palace. Just a shame their wally of an owner is overshadowing an otherwise impressive return to the top flight.
  
  West Ham
  If they hadn't beaten Fulham it might well have been Sam Allardyce picking up his P45 this morning.
  
  Everton
  Moyes was holding them back, wasn't he?
  
  Newcastle
  4 wins on the bounce and all of a sudden they're 6th. Isn't it about time Mike Ashley or Joe Kinnear did something to spoil it?
  
  
  But these won't...
  
  Liverpool
  4 points from their last 12 and 3 of those were against an awful Fulham side. Is this a blip, or Liverpool just returning to type after a (false) encouraging start to the season? Daniel Sturridge is out until the New Year too, that won't help.
  
  Fulham
  A 3-0 loss to West Ham with Carlton Cole getting on the scoresheet, I think that's what they call rock-bottom. Martin Jol's dismissal has been a long time coming but is Rene Meulensteen the man to turn things around? He's very much unproven, and how many of his players will be up for a relegation scrap?
  
  Stoke
  At least under Tony Pulis they were hard to beat, and his new side are only 6 points behind his old one.
  
  Man Utd
  A spirited comeback, but with Arsenal winning, United are now 9 points off top spot. That's a sizeable gap, and one that won't be chipped away at if they keep on drawing.
  
  Spurs
  The point didn't do them much good either.
  
  Anything else?

  I know a good few Liverpool fans and they have all had the same opinion when I have spoken to them, 'we won't stay there' has been the stock quote and their reasons have been the lack of depth in the squad. That came home to roost against Hull and Rodgers even mentioned it himself. A good season for them will be 5th, top 4 if the others continue to be inconsistent. I would include Chelsea in the good week category, a real test of patience for them and they came through assisted by Mourinho on the sidelines.

  Arsenal keep plugging away but i still don't believe they will maintain it. They have done brilliantly and they have had solid performances but i still think when a few sides bully them they will falter.

  Not sure bullying them is the answer. If it was then surely a few teams would have had a go by now? They'll obviously fall apart around February/March time but they could be clear by then.
  
  Agree with the point about Liverpool's squad depth to an extent, but even without Sturridge and Coutinho they should have enough about them to beat Hull. If the old inconsistencies are returning, thats a lot more worrying than a couple of injuries.

  It is worrying about Liverpool, even if they are returning to their old ways, they were beaten so emphatically, it is virtually beyond belief, and they should have had enough to at least draw with Hull, although a comedic own goal header by Skrtel put the end to a terrible day for them. I can't imagine they've got so bad so quickly, and maybe now they realise their brilliant start was a bit of luck, good timing , whatever, but they need to buckle down fast to remain close to the top sides.... Though it does look like CL next year may be another dream for them if they play many more games like that one.
