Villa also have a good manager and some decent players but I don't think their squad is big or good enough to sustain a real push for the top 4 places.
Everton I think peaked last season and will start to fall away this season.

However, with the lack of spending by the rags and scouse, Accelotti yet to get over his honeymoon period we'll be seeing a much weaker top 4 this season. Personally, I think this season we will see something much closer to a top 6.

Am I missing the point on this Top4 thingy? It can only be a Top4 that is of interest, because that is where the CL places are for. It's surely about breaking the stranglehold of the recent Top4.

The top four have proved year in year out that they can play consistently well, and win throughout the entire season. They don't really hit good or bad form. They are just always there. Whereas Spuds, and ourselves are going to have cold streaks this season, and it is during those cold streaks that the top four will leave us behind.

Spuds are doing well right now & beat the scousers but against Brum, as soon as they were under pressure they looked like Spurs again, with weaknesses right across every position in the defence. Our test will come when we go behind in games. If we have enough to come back & win some of them then I don't think Spuds will be a problem by the end of the season as they'll start to slip. We have mostly better players in almost every position.
