After Dirk Kuyt‘s 102nd minute penalty denied Arsenal of all three points at the Emirates Stadium against Liverpool on Sunday we asked you, the GoalUK readers, if the Gunners were out of the title race for another year, therefore continuing their six year trophy drought.

With six matches remaining, Arsene Wenger’s side must make up six points on Manchester United having made a mess of their game in hand against Kenny Dalglish’s men.

And after the late concession of two points against a rejuvenated Liverpool, almost 50 per cent (49.77% to be exact) of you believe that the gap between first and second is now too much for the Gunners to make up, whilst only a meagre 9.41% believe that the north London club can win a first piece of silverware since their FA Cup success in 2005.

The remaining 40.82% of readers are still unsure as to whether Arsenal can emerge as Premier League champions come the end of the present campaign.

Nonetheless, those same readers believe that should Wenger’s side come unstuck at White Hart Lane against bitter rivals Tottenham on Wednesday evening, then the title race will well and truly be decided, and the Premier League trophy will be making it’s way to Old Trafford.

But percentages can only offer so much, so here’s a selection of your comments on Arsenal’s chances of competing for the title…

“Typical Arsenal. Play the football but don’t get the result. Don’t come crying to us it was YOUR fault that you couldn’t penetrate our clearly weaker side…. 5 youth academy players were on the field. No excuses Arsenal.“

“Arsenal have nobody to blame but themselves, they have every opportunity to win the game but this their lack of scoring ability still earn them another draw that dash their title race. Sorry for them!“
