Bolton (1-1) - 11th February 2006

Rarely can a last minute equaliser against a team such as Bolton (trying not to sound arrogant and giving them due respect - but failing miserably) have been greeted with such joy. The much maligned Gilberto Silva scored in the 92 minute - a goal we patently deserved as yet again an opposition goalkeeper won MOTM. However, it only tells part of the story as Bolton could easily have been 3 up in the first 15 minutes of the match and deserved their 1-0 lead at the break. In the second half we dominated but yet again failed to finish. This result indicated to me that we won't get 4th place and we won't be in the Champions League next year - a bit of a shock after 8 years but that's football and too many Arsenal fans have taken for granted our recent success - we need a dose of reality. At least the stadium is looking good!
