Premiership analysis
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;

| 13 | Middlesbro | 14 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 11 | 17 | -6 | 16 |
| 14 | Man City | 14 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 10 | 16 | -6 | 16 |
| 15 | West Ham | 14 | 4 | 2 | 8 | 10 | 16 | -6 | 14 |
| 16 | Blackburn | 13 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 11 | 17 | -6 | 13 |
| 17 | Newcastle | 14 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 9 | 15 | -6 | 13 |
| 18 | Sheff Utd | 14 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 19 | -11 | 10 |
| 19 | Watford | 13 | 1 | 6 | 6 | 10 | 19 | -9 | 9 |
| 20 | Charlton | 14 | 2 | 3 | 9 | 10 | 21 | -11 | 9 |
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.
