Thoughts between Spurs and Bolton

Our title challenge is, by my reckoning, over. A slip by United against Everton yesterday would have kept the door slightly ajar, but Javier Hernandez’s 84th minute header looks like a title-clinching goal.
People will lament our failure to win at Spurs having been 3-1 up. Disappointing though that is, it isn’t where we lost the title. Nor is the 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Neither result is, in isolation, disastrous.
What was disastrous was the capitulation at Newcastle, and our failure to beat the likes of West Brom, Sunderland and Blackburn at home. These are the sort of games which any title challenger needs to look on as a banker. Rather than banking it, we bottled it.
Today we travel to the Reebok playing for two things: second place, and pride. After a succession of draws a win is essential. Get out there and make a point.
Come On You Gunners.
