Deflections come to the aid of lucky Arsenal
Arsenal twice came from behind at a snowy Emirates to gain a fortunate point in the 2-2 draw with Everton.
The Gunners failed to close within a point of leaders Chelsea as Everton deservedly shared the spoils with the North Londoner's, and will feel hard done by not to have left with the three points.
Leon Osman put the visitor's in front with a towering header from a Landon Donovan corner after only 12 minutes.
Arsenal were struggling with the conditions but drew level just before the half hour when Denilson's shot took a deflection off Osman to leave Tim Howard stranded.
A blizzard enveloped the ground after the break but still Everton looked comfortable and it was no surprise when they regained the lead with just nine minutes remaining.
Steven Pienaar beat the offside trap, raced clear and cleverly lifted the ball over the advancing Manuel Almunia.
But credit to Arsene Wenger's side for keeping going, and in the second minute of added time Thomas Rosicky's shot went in off Lucas Neill.
Arsenal now no longer have a game in hand over Chelsea.

demon i don't understand you.
i mean yes the match is affected by snow.. vision is poor etc.
but if arsenal is feeling the snow.. everton must be too.
so does that make everton the better team? in terms of adaptability?
so everytime it snows everton vs arsenal.. everton will come out victorious?you claimed everton got advantage.. what advantage?
-
what i think he was referring to is the short passing game of arsenal, but then again if u watched the match, everton didnt really play many long or high balls..

In-form Arsenal have every incentive to win, and the confidence of having done well against Everton in recent seasons.

As an Arsenal fan, i thought it might be good that Arsenal lost this match so that Wenger can have a wake-up call and realize that the squad is weak and needs improving. The Rosicky goal might have given Arsenal a point, but it results in Wenger commenting on Arsenal's fighting spirit etc. Wenger is now disillusioned into thinking that Arsenal has fighting spirit and does not need additions.
Arsenal sold Adebayor for 25 million, and every season they should receive 20 million at least for transfers. shouldn't Arsenal then have 45 million to spend at least on players. So why does Wenger comment that Gignac is too expensive. that's probably the reason why Arsenal fans like me are expecting another title drought for the year.look at last night's squad, do you think Traore, Song, Denilson, Diaby are even in the same league as Cole, Vieira, Ljungberg, Parlour. Definitely not.
Traore is too inexperienced, clearing the ball even when not under pressure.
Song is too slow.
Denilson is too petite, probably suitable for S-league.
Diaby is tall, slow and clumsy. His goal to match ratio is laughable.

Just look at arsenal sub they onli have rosicky and vela as their more regular players. arsenal realli lacking of players. wenger may say due to injury blah blah. seriously we cant win the title with this small squad.
-
arsenal seem to drop points immediately after a 'high'.
the team are not mature enough to win the premiership, yet.

I am not an Arsenal fan but.... last night squad where got SONG? Alex Song away on ANC duty leh.....but as I said in another place, Arsenal fans should be proud of what Arsene is trying to do. Its true that Arsenal may have to endure droughts for a few seasons but this season you can start to see a 'golden' generation surfacing. I cannot help but think that Arsenal in a couple more years will be the team that will be dominating the BPL just like the 'beckham and neville' era for Man U.

You have too high a hope for Arsenal... Arsenal is a selling club. I once said Fabregas won't be there by the time he reach 25 but now I won't be too surprise if Fabregas is next to be sold at the end of this season... The current shareholders are still there and they have a history of enriching themselves before they finally sell in to some billionaire Russian or American... And with Wenger always so eagar to show he can bring in more youngsters... The team will always lack maturity and experienced.True they are a good side on a normal day... But when the pressure starts to built on them, they lose their way alittle... Therefore, I still have my believed that who ever ends up above Chelsea, will be the champion this season.

omg its really iain macintosh!hahahahah

arsenal last time got viera, adams, keown, seaman, cole and henry in their undefeated season. now who they got? the most they got now is fabregas and gallas.

That's what you get with a team of youngsters. People who are prone to injury, especially crucial problems for their star players: V Persie, Fabregas.
And look at Denilson: it's like he accidentely took sleeping pills during half time and it kicked in just when he holding the ball in vulnerable position. lol
I wouldn't mind Arsenal with these problems. But Arsene Wegner is a big talker and turns me off with his stubborness and his arrogance. Look at O Neil from Aston Villa. He is much more humble and down to earth. And he beat Man Utd AND Chelsea this season, unlike Arsenal.
Arsenal did not deserve to win this match, even a draw is pushing it. Without Fabregas and V Persie, their players just run around like mad dogs mostly. Reminds me of 10 Dirk Kyuts. No direction, no gameplan, just rely on individual skill and some quick passing, hoping for a lucky break.
Dont know why so many people are optimistic about Arsenal, when it's looking more and more that they are a one man show. Whether they can challenge for the title largely depends on Fabregas' continuning form and fitness. How sad

it is not hard to realise arsenal is a selling club. why would arsenal spent so much money on young talent? how do this young talent get the chance to promote if arsenal dont sell their stars.
unless some the US or russian Billionaire fully take over arsenal and write off arsenal debt like roman done to chelsea, arsenal will be a selling club until their finances are clear of debt.
or unless, AW leave arsenal. AW has too much power in arsenal dressing room and the board are not pressuring him for success. because the board know, there isnt manager out there who can spent less and gurantee UCL spot.
