yep.  arsenal's manager needs to hangit up or spend serious money during the january transfer.  i have been saying that same thing for the past 7 years.  probably time for a new manager.  but i will never give up on the gunners.  get frustrated, sure.  but at the end of the day, it's really just a soccer match.  
man united's cohesion fell apart pretty much when their manager retired.  i really don't want chelsea to take the premiership this season, and i really, really don't want man city to win it.  don't know about southampton though.  now with suarez gone, i wouldn't mind liverpool moving up into the top 4 if arsenal doesn't.  i still crack up whenever i see the footage of suarez biting his opponent.  what a bonehead.  like the mike tyson of soccer.  
ok, so this is my take on the prem.  i used to watch the matches at a sports bar with all the other soccer fans, but started to feel out of place.  i could watch the games at home instead, and not continue to yoke myself to unbelievers every weekend during the different soccer seasons.  so now i watch the games in my pj's with my 2 dogs.  they don't even mind if i let off some steam and shout at the games.
