  After facing 2 successive humiliating defeats against ManYoo at home and Chelski away, Arsenal bounced back with a 1-0 win against pool at home. This win came with a gift package, with chelsea losing to everton or rather to louis saha. and Manyoo dropping points against villa, though they were lucky to grab a point. 
This means Arsenal are firm in 3rd place with 6 points separating them from league leaders chelsea and 5 points adrift of ManUtd. What this means that arsenal still have a good chance of winning the coveted EPL title. As andrey arshavin quoted 
We just have to win 12 more games and we can win the title.
Well its not easy but still possible, given the fact that we've already played all the major tough opponents except for Spurs and Man City. Its not a cake walk but we have a realistic shot at the title, with ManU and Chelsea dropping points. What we need now is a collective effort and motivation to go on and win the title.
Some talking points would be gallas and vermaelen partnership at the back, they've been really good this season, a few glitches here and there, but overall a commendable force at the back of defence. Clichy has to improve, hes been totally out of form after his return from injury. While Eboue and Sagna are doing well at right back. We need more striking force in the midfield as we don't have well established forwards at the moment. But niklas bendtner is back from injury and is looking good. Senior players like Fabregas, Rosicky, Nasri have to own up to responsibility and win games for Arsenal, and more importantly be injury free.
I have my fingers crossed for an early return from injury for Van persie in march. Lets hope he is back soon. 
Talking about our no.1 goalie Manuel Almunia, I don't hate him but hes been woeful in last few games. But hes improving and i want him to do well. Lets see if he lives up to hi No.1 tag. Fabianski and Manonne are not far either. 
So now the Onus is on the gunners, to live up to the expectations of fans all over the world and Im sure they'l very much make it happen.
