Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton So, here it is--our game in hand. This is absolutely a must win game. Taking three points here vaults us ahead of Manchester United and to within a point of league leaders Chelsea. We cannot squander the game in hand we've been gifted since the beginning of the campaign. United is every bit as decimated by injuries as we are. Now is the time to capitalize. Our next EPL games (Bolton, Everton, Bolton) need to yield us nine points because the "death crunch" is fast approaching when at the end of January we face Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool in succession. Getting points now is so essential because facing and beating those teams would push us firmly into first place with a remaining EPL schedule that is very favourable.
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton Wow, you make this extremely intense... Which it is. I'm freaking out already! C'MON ARSENAL!
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton I'm probably making it out to be more important than it is... its just that we have a legit shot at the league title this year if we get things right. Hopefully Cesc if back for Everton or the next Bolton game. We need him in form for Villa and the games following.
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton Heavy snow in Lancashire and more expected to fall in London has put this game in jeopardy.
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton Arsenal is monitoring weather conditions but as of now the game will take place as scheduled.

Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton The game has been postponed as most of England were subject to snow storm. My dad said he got around 40 cm (a huge amount for his area) and as you can see, Emirates got the bad end of the stick. This is a big blow to our schedule as we'll most likely miss our 10-day (give-or-take) break.
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton By the way, the end of this month to the beginning of February is absolutely huge. It will decide our fate in the title-running. If we win most of the games, there is a huge chance we will win the title. Aston Villa - A United - H Chelsea - A Liverpool - H All one after the other... Oh god.
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton Shit--got home early to watch it and they were replaying Arsenal vs. West Ham... oh well...
Re: EPL: Arsenal v Bolton I think we have AV and Liverpool's numbers at the moment but if we're to win the league this year we need to do it by beating United and Chelsea, it seems. Which is the way it should be.
