Early going in the Barclays Premier

This isn't exactly a normal season thus far in the Barclays Premier League.  Normally dominant Manchester United has lost a couple, and Arsenal is looking strong, with the reliable Chelsea and the resurgent Liverpool just two points behind.   Of course, there is a very long way to go, but this could be interesting come spring.

Unfortunately, I was hoping Crystal Palace would do well in their first season up in the Premier, because they had a connection to Maryland for a couple of years, but so far they've had very tough going.
