Poor Arsenal Came For A Point

Ex-Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas said at Christmas "this is the best Arsenal team EVER!" ... which obviously shows how little HE knows.
No Henry ... and the Gunners are nothing more than average. And deep down you get the feeling Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will not be there for much longer.
He backed his players to complete their Champions League mission despite being held to a goalless draw at Newcastle, and the threat from Bolton Wanderers.
Wenger: "I feel we can make fourth place because they (Bolton) had a good opportunity today to come back to us and they played a 1-1 draw against Everton.
"That keeps them a fair distance. It is down to how we do.
"For the club, it is very important, for the players, for everybody inside the club and everybody who loves the club. We are used to being there and we want to do it again.
"We wanted to win the game and we could have maybe nicked a 1-0, but they saved one on the line and they could have scored as well at the end.
"Both teams had good defensive performances and it was a game of few chances.
"For us after three defeats, it was important not to lose, and maybe it could be a good point at the end of the season."
