Once again , slack and pain.

The enormousity of dropping these two points is nothing in contrast to the way we played today. The result clearly goes against arsenal , the referee went against them and at the end you cant expect a win after going down 1-0 on the 26th minute. Was it a competitive match? Of course not- Boro literally had 11 players in their own box for 75 percent of the game! As far as they were concerned, all they needed to do was clear the ball and make sure Arsenal did not get one in. Little did they know that they were playing at the Emirates, where Arsenal do not lose. A swift header from Kolo Toure saw the teams share the spoils , but it will continue to boost the team morale and give Wenger some hope of bringing silverware home. Frustration has already started to build in the Arsenal camp after they have dropped 8 important points in a month. But the positives for Arsenal remain the fact that in every game played , they're the ones attacking , and the ones being defended against. Today was no special day -the routine went on. Opposition scored and defended for the rest of the match. Middlesborough is known for slackness, and they've proved it again. All we can say is that if this is not our season , it will surely be the next. The title challenge hits its peak in the coming weeks , with Arsenal facing Chelsea, Liverpool and united . Preparing for this with a loss on their minds will be even more difficult , but as they say-its never over till someone lifts the trophy. I would say a win against Chelsea will massively bring us back on track and therefore give us the momentum that we so desperately need.
Thank you
Gunner!
