One thing I have noticed in recent weeks is the lack of real chances we are creating for ourselves.
The thing is, because of this happening, the likes of Danny Sturridge (as he demonstrated

February and all we've collected from 2012 is a solitary point in the league. Unfortunately for
a club the size of Arsenal and the ambitions that we harbour, that is not good enough. 7th is where

Athletic Bilbao's ambition to maintain their fourth place spot was held at El Madrigal after
Marcelo Bielsa team's only grabbed a point against home team Villarreal, forcing the Basque side
stuck at fifth place until another week.
The Yellow Submarines' Brazilian striker, Nilmar was the main culprit that held Bilbao's mission
as the forward scored the equalizing goal which simply canceled out the visitor's earlier lead.
