Manchester United Defeat: End of Season for Arsenal?

Arsenal yesterday lost to Manchester United by 1-3 and this loss was very painful for the supporters because it came in front of them at the Emirates Stadium. As a result now, the Premier League title race is mainly going to be limited between Chelsea and Manchester United. Most probably, most experts and fans will write Arsenal off from the title race. So, it will be another disappointing season for the Arsenal fans because in this season they are already out of FA Cup, Carling Cup and now they are going to be out of the league title race.
The main problem with Arsenal is continuous injury worry and the club cannot afford to spend so much money for buying top players to replace the injured players. Perhaps the club is suffering a lot from the long term absence of Robin Van Persie because of injury. His absence is a proving very costly for the club and without him, Arsenal does not have too many attacking options. They have problem in the mid-field too and they have been consistently suffering in the defense.
Thus, it has become impossible for coach Arsene Wenger field the same set of players in every match. As a result, the club is suffering. The fans are unhappy but at the same time they know that Arsenal is passing through a tough time because of financial stress that resulted from building of this Emirates Stadium. They could go like Manchester United who are suffering over financial burden. Right now, Manchester United has nearly one billion dollar loan. Chelsea is not in good financial condition and Liverpool has also been suffering. Although the Gunners are suffering from lack success and trophies in England and Europe, they are making a good balance between money and performance.
