Blame it on the Bogey

Oh my… coming from behind to salvage a draw at the Emirates again. Thank God, the unbeaten record at home is intact.

Kevin Nolan drew first blood with a well placed shot after some neat passing by the Sulk. With 13 minutes to go, Kolo Toure dived low to plant a weak header past Jaaskenlainen to force a draw and a trip to the Reebok.

Only one win out of seven visits to the Reebok. I really worry… would our FA Cup march be halted there? Sigh.. if only Henry’s back heel in the first half had gone in… the course of the game would have taken a new twist. Overall, not a convincing performance by the Gunners. I felt that Bolton were the hungrier lot.

I reckon this draw tie would create a pile-up of fixtures for the Gunners. It would be a problem when players are unavailable through injury and choice of players wears thin. Blame it on the bogey.
