Arsenal failed to score a goal and ended up with his opponent in the away game against Bolton, the team that conceded the most at home in the Premier League this season.

In the whole game, although Arsenal achieved a 65% possession rate, the percentage of the opponent's half-time lags behind the opponent by 48% to 52%, and the number of shots in the front frame was only 4 times, only 1 more than the opponent.

It can be said that even in terms of game scenes, Arsenal did not gain the upper hand.

Although it finally stopped the previous three-game losing streak in the Premier League, as Wenger said after losing to Manchester United at home in the last round of the league, Arsenal is already "in a very difficult position". He wanted to catch up with Chelsea, which ranked fourth in the league, and now the fourth in the league has become Tottenham Hotspur, and has a lead of up to 12 points! This must make the Gunners even more painful!

The Gunners can no longer bear losing points when they are against weak teams.

However, facing Bolton, the fourth from the bottom in the standings, Arsenal still could not score all three points. Not only did it fail to narrow the points gap with Chelsea, it was also overtaken by Newcastle, who was originally ranked behind him.

In the four Premier League rounds that have been held in 2012, Arsenal only scored 1 point with 1 draw and 3 losses, and his position in the standings also dropped from 5th place on December 31, 2011 to 7th place now.

Some time ago, Wenger once said: "It's a disaster for me to not be able to participate in the Champions League, because I want to compete with the best teams, we want to be in the top four and qualify for the Champions League, and nothing else is good enough."

However, from now on, the disaster of missing the Champions League this season is still continuing, and it is getting closer to the trend that will continue to next season.

Although Wenger still said stubbornly after this game: "There is still a long way to go to the top four, and I am confident that we can come from behind. We have already passed the difficult period and we have lost three league games in a row, but I believe the team will quickly get back the feeling of winning."

However, compared with Chelsea, which invested 7 million pounds in transfer fees to introduce England international Gary Cahill to fill the shortcomings of the central defender, Arsenal's signing in the winter transfer window was only to sign a two-month short-term loan contract with Henry, who was already 34 years old, and then to introduce Esfield, a young man from the Dortmund youth team, for 600,000 pounds. Can the Gunners, whose lineup is pale in comparison, surpass the Blues and Tottenham in the league's long-distance race? Oh, now they have to overtake Newcastle United first, and the cruel competitive situation really makes people doubt.

After entering 2012, Arsenal, who had 1 draw and 3 losses in four league rounds, only won in the FA Cup.

After Arsenal reversed Aston Villa 3:2 last Sunday, Walcott told the Daily Express: "Medals are something I want to get. I want to look at my career and see the trophys I have won, but it has not yet. I am willing to do anything, the trophy is the most important thing, I want to get 4th or better in the league with the team and win any trophy we can win. The FA Cup is a great opportunity for us because some of the big teams have been out, which is an event we can win. The way the players launched a Jedi counterattack from a 0:2-deep situation is a reflection of how much we want to win the FA Cup."

Walcott also revealed: "Van Persie gave a speech during the halftime break. He was the captain, and once again he showed how much he believed in us and how much he wanted to win the championship for this team. He knew we had the same desire in our hearts."

As Walcott said, Arsenal, who has won 5 years and 0 titles, is eager for honor.

Especially captain Van Persie, his love and allegiance to Arsenal are obvious to all, but his desire for honor is equally strong.

Recently, the mouthpiece media of Barcelona Club, "World Sports", published a report on the front page, claiming that Van Persie was dissatisfied with his long-term career missed the championship, which is why he has not renewed his contract with Arsenal.

Van Persie's existing contract with Arsenal will expire in the summer of 2013, but Le Monte pointed out that Van Persie, who had a tacit cooperation with Fabregas, should switch to Barcelona this summer. Le Monte believes that Van Persie should be happy to go to Barcelona and enjoy the joy of winning the championship with Fabregas.

This call from World Sports will definitely make all Arsenal fans indignate, but if such a fact really happens, Arsenal cannot be among the top four in the Premier League at the end of this season and cannot qualify for the Champions League next season, then even if Van Persie chooses to leave the team in this summer's transfer window, or even be poached by Barcelona, ​​which can provide opportunities to compete for the Champions League championship, no one can blame the devoted Arsenal captain for being indifferent.

Compared with the decline of London's two-man team, Manchester United, which used to compete for the championship with Arsenal and Chelsea, performed steadily in this round. Losing the FA Cup did not affect the fighting spirit of the Red Devils. Ferguson's ability to adjust the team has always been obvious to all.

Manchester United easily defeated Stoke City 2-0 at home and continued to put pressure on the top team Liverpool.

And the most unexpected thing is that Liverpool can return to the top of the list, thanks to his arch rival Everton.

Moyes led the Toffees to give Blue Moon City a head-on blow at Goodison Park!

1:0!

Everton gave Manchester City a painful defeat with Manchester United's final victory.

On the one hand, after Yaya Toure rushed to the African Cup, Manchester City suddenly seemed to be unable to play football. On the other hand, it was nicknamed by the media that Manchester United caused trouble for their mortal enemies and sent Gibson to Everton to snipe Manchester City!

After the round, the situation of the championship competition in the standings is still fierce, and the competition for Champions League qualification has also become fierce, which is particularly cruel.

Liverpool scored 54 points.

Manchester United scored 53 points.

Manchester City scored 51 points.

Tottenham Hotspur points 49 points.

Chelsea scored 42 points.

Newcastle United scored 38 points.

Arsenal scored 37 points.

Although Tottenham has the possibility of competing for the championship, Fleet Street always believes that Tottenham is still a contender for Champions League qualification, and the championship competition is still a game between Manchester and Liverpool.

Unless, in the second half of the league, Tottenham Hotspur can wash away the decline of several years in the civil war with the powerful, and remove the shame that it is known as the 3-point alley.
