And Then There Was Two: Bolton Wanderers 2 - 1 Arsenal FC
Monday, April 25, 2011
And with a simple goal in the 85th minute Arsenal FC have ensured that they go ANOTHER season without any silverware, losing 2 - 1 to Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.
Bolton were ahead in the 38th minute after on loan striker Daniel Sturridge headed home a goal line clearance and could have been further ahead if it were not for the heroic of Arsenal's Polish keeper Wojciech Szczesny saving a Kevin Nolan penalty. Bolton were made to pay soon after as Robin van Persie equalized, making the scores 1 -1 at the Reebok.
But as has been for Arsenal's season, the Gunners suffered a cruel hammer blow as Israeli international Tamir Cohen slotted in the winning goal from a Bolton corner in the 85th minute. Cohen then received a yellow card for taking off his jersey revealing a picture of his late father.
This game surely symbolizes the end of Arsenal's title charge and any hope of silverware for a seventh season in a row, comdemning the Gunners to look on from the sidelines as Chelsea FC try and close the six point gap on leaders Manchester United with five games remaining.
It has truly become a two horse race, but the question is: can the red horse or the blue horse cross the line?

Bolton Wanderers 0 - 5 Stoke City (FA Cup Semi Final)
Monday, April 18, 2011
In what can be only described as a complete battering, Stoke City managed to sweep aside a hapless Bolton Wanderers 0 - 5 at Wembley Stadium.
Two superb long range strikes by Matthew Etherington and Robert Huth opened the scoring for The Potters before Kenwyne Jones sealed the win, adding a third before the first half came to a close.
Rubbing salt into his former employers wounds, Jon Walters added a further two in the second half securing The Potters entry into the FA Cup final for the first time in their 149 year history.
After a strong season by the Wanderers, they bow out of the FA Cup in perhaps a most embarrasing fashion, forever consigned to the history books of being dealt the biggest loss in a FA Cup semi final.
Stoke City will now face Manchester City in the FA Cup final on the 14th of May, 2011 at Wembley Stadium.
