Author: Yogi Berra said it best, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” Better yet, it isn’t over until the fat lady sings. Yo Arsenal way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We were in the drivers seat. The Gunners were up 2-0. Eleven minutes from getting, the heave-hoe Wigan scored three times to beat us 3-2.
This defeat kills our chances of winning the EPL.
Arsenal was given a golden opportunity to move with in four points of Chelsea.
Spurs 2-1 soundly beat the Blues on Saturday.
All we had to do was hang on to a 2-nil lead.
Not!
Buda bing Buda boom Wigan hits the lottery with three successive scores.
Ben Watson started off the hit parade with a wing and prayer. He nailed smart deft off the side of the foot shot from twelve yards in the 80th minute to cut the Gunners lead to 2-1.
Our keeper blew it big time in the 89th minute. This was the Rocky Horror Picture Show for us Gunners. Fabianski tried to catch the ball but instead following the bouncing ball. It goes off the head of Latics defender Titus Bramble and into the back of the net.
We are tied two all.
Hey baby can you say Keystone Cops.
This is not funny for us.
In the 91st minute, Charles N’Zogbia unlashes a massive salvo that flies off the post and rips the twines to give Wigan an unthinkable 3-2 miracle win over Arsenal.
Stick a fork in our title hopes.
We are cooked big time.
Aston Villa beat Portsmouth 2-1.

The Reds need this sucker badly if they want to entertain hopes of the final Champions League berth.
