Man City were building up some momentum and capitalising on a few slips by Chelsea but, in true Prem style, they were sucker-punched by no-hopers Burnley. Still think the title is a straight fight between them, with MU and Arsenal being the other CL qualifiers. But besides the actual title race, and the regular upsets, this could end up being a fairly predictable season. No big names falling into the relegation zone and the usual suspects gravitating to the top places. Interesting enough from week to week but I get the feeling the big picture will end up being business as usual.
Crazy that Dortmund are still in crisis. I really thought they'd turn it around by now. All the reviews are saying they're getting plenty of shots off but no goals. Lots of statos scratching their heads. You could compare their situation with Liverpool's. They lose a couple of key players and they're struggling in the league but even they're not that bad. Even with Balotelli on board. Dortmund's decline might end up being the football equivalent of a crop circle. Everyone has a theory but none of them really add up.
