Arsenal not finishing scoring opportunities . . . (could also be debated as unlucky).

Manchester City 1 v Arsenal 0 at halftime

gg gunners, top 5 team in the world for sure

I am unsure about Anelka going to Bolton being a good thing for them, he must be a player that has had about the most money spent on him as he moves every 1-2 years.

meh, the same could be said about heskey, as he's had around 22m pounds spent on him in his career, but anelka scores goals. Anelka also spent a decent amount of time at ManCity(i forget the actual length but it was at least 3 years). Every short term move he's made has generally been to a continental country and its pretty obvious that he enjoys england the best(who would've thought that in 99)

[/ QUOTE ]yeah, you can draw tons of conclusions on one game, especially one in which they dominated posession, and lost on a PK. Arsenal played well, just couldn't find the end of the net. How'd your team do? Oh wait, ya'll got rocked by 10 guys.

Hard to believe a team could have over 40 shots in 2 games and only 1 point.

[/ QUOTE ]it is. During todays game, they had several legitimate scoring opportunities but they just couldn't score. They also seem to pass TOO much instead of just firing shots in. It is really strange, but you have to think part of it is just plain bad luck, atleast for this short run.

i must say, im very happy with my 100 dollar bet for MANU to finish top 2 so far...

yeah the look real good, and with Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham all struggling at the start, top 2 looks very easy. Of course all 4 of those teams will play better as the season moves on, but man, that is a lot of points to make up, especially for Arsenal and Tottenham.
