The revenge of the Incredible Sulk

It was a Saturday when an ex-Gunner, or better known as “The Incredible Sulk” destroyed any remaining chance the Gunners could hold on to the title race.

The widely travelled Anelka, who ply his trade in France, England, Spain, Turkey and back to England again….haunt Arsenal with two superbly taken goals. Bolton drew first blood with Abdoulaye Faye nodding home from a corner early in the match.

I sense hope when stand-in skipper Gilberto rose and sent a muscular header to the Bolton net just before half-time. But the Incredible Sulk ended all hopes of a comeback when he scored his second mid-way through the second half.

The Gunners did came out all guns blazing in the second half. They struck the woodwork thrice in the second half.. well, it is just one of those off-days. A 3-1 away loss.

The title dreams is quite effectively over for the Gunners. Of course, unless Chelsea or Man United falter badly. But that’s not the case, I think. I am wondering if Thierry Henry is making the right choice with his decision to stay with the Gunners for the rest of his career.
