Two nil to the Arsenal (and let's just leave it at that).
Had this been last season, we would have probably drawn this game, maybe even conceded a one with their only attempt. This team is showing patience and a belief that they can work the other team,
make them tired and then use the pace to score. This is not in any way showing that the team is loosing form. The only question is how long will they sustain this form, for mine and other arsenal
fan's sake, I hope for the entire season.
I agree with neveroutgunned. it's not the prettiest win but it's one that by no means would have happened a season ago. we're finally realising that sometimes you have to be scrappy to win and that
you have to be persistent until the end.
erm, I am far too lazy to write in detail about what I thought about how we played in whichever game at whatever time, so instead I will merely write one sentence per match. of course if I am in a fit of rage there will be lots of semi-colons and independent clauses involved.

we can see from the game that the form of the team is slipping.
the form is not slipping ... it will be difficult to play that bolton for any club. they had 11 men behind the ball. they played some sort of 7-2-1 and thats two defensive midfielders.
