An early season relegation battle seems to be on show already, with many more contenders this year around it seems. And for those who say its early days, well, I'd beg to differ.
Ranieri did well to get Chelsea to 4th without Roman's millions. He won't choke, unlike his Liverpool counterpart, who is in fact not doin' that badly anymore (or for the time being).
Don't worry, another ECL beating will surely reduce morale in Wenger's side. Btw, did you here Curbishly's interview post-Arsenal encounter? He said something like, Arsenal are like strong European side? Hasn't he seen Arsenal's recent (or historic) run the Europe's elite competition? Nevertheless, Arsenal might have won if not for the dive, but its fair they did it to Pompey.
