Arsenal suffered back-to-back defeat when they lost unexpectedly 2-1 to FUlham.
Arsenal were again conceded from corner kick at as early as at 5th minute.Arsenal tried to make something good but were conceded again at 19th minute.Arsenal scored back one goal from a fantastic free-kick from Robin .van Persie.
Arsenal was not playing good at this game,with no dangerous attack at first-half.Arsenal just made normal possession and Fulham defended well and attacked dangerously.If there was no free-kick for Arsenal,I wondered if Arsenal will lost 2-0 to a team who had previously normally thrashed 3 to 4-0.Arsenal could not score from ‘real attack’,like passsing to player and to another player and the striker finished into the net.Or simple,other than corner-kick,free-kick and penalty.
Fortunately,our current competitor were also failed to take the all three points from this mid-week soccer.Portsmouth drew with Liverpool 0-0,Bolton lost to Chelsea 1-0,Everton were thrashed 3-0 at Old Trafford.But this year I can still accept that Arsenal still in transition player.However,if another season is also like that,I don’t know what Arsenal will be.

Arsenal will face Fulham this Wednesday at Fulham’s home.
I hope Gunners will not be disheartened after losing 3-1 to Bolton Wanderers.I remembered when Arsenal 49 match -unbeaten run were broken by Manchester United and since then Arsenal only collected 6 points from 6 games and this caused Chelsea to win the 2004-2005 season Premiership Title.
Arsenal record against Fulham is always good even at Fulham’s home.In last 6 matches,Arsenal win all the games and scoring 16 goals with 2 goals with reply.But Arsenal fans like me should not be TOO OVER CONFIDENT THAT ARSENAL MUST DEMOLISH FULHAM by 3 to 4-0.
After a few incident like the CSKA,Middlesbrough,Aston Villa and all matches in Emirates actually,I don’t start thinking like”ah,Fulham is just a small team,must thrash them one”.
But I think Arsenal could win this game at least.

The picture above shows the current Premiership results.
The Trotters curse at Reebok Stadium to Arsenal becomes more powerful when Bolton beat Arsenal 3-1 and this is the first time Arsenal were conceded 3 goals in a match since 2005(if not mistaken).Fortunately Portsmouth were also lost to Newcastle United 1-0 so that Arsenal’s distance with Portsmouth were lessen.Manchester United on the other hand drew with Chelsea,which means Man. Utd. is still leading the Premiership by 3 points so far.
Here’s the current Premiership standing;

Arsenal could stand back at third place if Chelsea could beat or draw Bolton at Reebok Stadium,Manchester City could beat or draw Aston Villa at Villa Park and Liverpool could beat Portsmouth.
I personally think that Arsenal is out of title race which I think is Manchester United and Chelsea racing to win the Premiership title.What Arsenal can do is perform well in UEFA Champions League and Carling Cup although Carling Cup is small competition,winning the Carling Cup title is still something to proud about.

We had an exciting first-half especially the the extra-time where Anelka scored a stunning goal against Gunners and Gilberto Silva equalized just after that.
Arsenal were shocked with Faye’s header goal.After that,Eboue were pushed harshly to the ground and made controversial because the guy who pushed him just got a yellow card.
After that,Bolton keep dominating the game with attacks.
Arsenal need to be more physical,but please no foul.
In second-half,Arsenal kept attacking and Ljungberg headed to post.However,Anelka punished Arsenal with his 2nd goal at 76th which made Arsenal for the first time of the Premiership this season Arsenal were conceded 3 goals in a game.
Adebayor were also stroke to the post.
We will have to look to overtake Bolton at Wednesday which Bolton will face Chelsea at Reebok Stadium again.

Arsenal will travel to Reebok Stadium to break their record.That record is Arsenal will lost to Bolton every time they travel to Reebok Stadium.
The problem is ARSENAL MUST WIN EVERY GAME in order to catch up or take advantage of M.United’s match against Chelsea which either of them must drop points or both will drop points incase it’s draw.
Fortunately,Arsenal comeback to beat Hamburg 3-1 last 3 days gave Gunners some confidence otherwise they will go there(Reebok Stadium) with a lost before that match.
i
In case you don’t know,Bolton’s style of playing which is very physical is very disadvantage of Arsenal playing style which very gentle,passing there passing here,playing slowly like Spanish Primera Liga or Italian Series A.
But if Arsenal could win this game,this is very rewarding,we can came closer to Chelsea or the Devils or both,we could keep some distance from Bolton themselves and could even take back to third place in case Portsmouth lost or draw with Newcastle.Newcastle’s form seems to coming back,with a drew with Gunners which make Gunners drop to fourth place,I hope Newcastle could help Gunners regain back their third place.
But I really hope that Arsenal could beat Bolton this time,considering Arsenal could drop till to 6-8 place in case Arsenal lose to Bolton.
