    wigan defended solid... we wasted lots and lots of chances... delph red card made us vulnerable...
    in the end, another defensive error cost us the game... city considered wigan as walkovers and paid the price...
    hope this gives the team the needed impetus to face upcoming games...

    Arsenal did not pursue Guardiola and have been slipping ever since

    Sooner or later, Arsenal will have to find a replacement for Arsene Wenger as manager. The sands of time run out for everybody in the end and even Wenger's reign at the Emirates Stadium has a finishing line somewhere in the not too distant future.

    And yet, as he prepares for his third League Cup final -- he suffered defeat in two previous deciders, against Chelsea in 2007 and Birmingham City four years later -- many would argue that the end of the line is actually in Wenger's rear-view mirror. The Arsenal hierarchy, though, failed to notice when he passed it and was left to carry on regardless

    Arsenal? Despite a clear decline on the pitch under Wenger in recent years, with the club no longer regarded as the title contenders they were during the manager's first decade in charge, they chose to stick with what was clearly not working.

    And that is why they they find themselves chasing glory in the League Cup and Europa League while their domestic rivals are all aiming to book a place in the Champions League quarterfinals.

    Had Arsenal's powerbrokers been ambitious and ruthless two or even six years ago when he left Barcelona, they could have mounted a compelling case for Guardiola to move to succeed Wenger.

    Guardiola has admitted in the past that he admires "historic" clubs and few have a past as rich as Arsenal; they are London's best-supported and most successful club, boast huge revenue streams and have their philosophy of pure, attacking football that is in sync with that of Guardiola.

    They are also a club that has lost its way since the era of the "Invincibles" and Guardiola would have been the perfect man to put them back on top. The draw of London would also have been tempting for Guardiola, who spent a sabbatical year in New York between his time in Barcelona and Munich.

    Yet throughout the weeks and months that he was available and considering his next move, Arsenal were steadfastly standing by their man, hoping that Wenger could turn back the clock. They would have had a strong hand to play in any pursuit of Guardiola, but the board and Kroenke sat on their hands.

    Guardiola is now clearly beyond Arsenal's grasp. There is no sign of him leaving City anytime soon but, by the time he does, it looks as though the club will be at the summit of the English game and perhaps even the kings of Europe.

    Arsenal should aspire to being the best in England and Europe, but they have been treading water for so long now under Wenger that the next man, whoever he is and whenever he arrives, will face a rebuilding job that could take years to complete.

    Manchester United are still not over their post-Sir Alex Ferguson hangover, almost five years later.

    Had they punched their weight when they had the opportunity, though, Arsenal could have been contenders for Guardiola and the landscape would almost certainly look different. But it was City who got their man and they are the ones pulling away from the rest.

    Arsenal have stood still and fallen behind at the same time.
