Arsenal won 2-0 at home to Queen's Rangers, and in the first half of the game, Arsenal also topped the table with 15 wins, three draws and one loss, and they also locked up the halfway title. In this competitive season, Arsenal performed very well, although in the first half of the game because of Manchester City's sudden rise in the role of a chaser, but Arsenal also maintained enough resilience to regain the position of the leader.

In this round of games, Manchester City challenged Sunderland away, and the blue moon suffered the third defeat of the season by an opponent with a goal suspected of offside; Their current record is 13 wins, three draws and three defeats, and they are also six points behind Arsenal with 42 points. Manchester United's performance in this round of games is also not good, although it coincides with Ferguson's 70th birthday, but Manchester United at Old Trafford suffered a 2-3 defeat to vice-captain Blackburn Rovers suffered their third league defeat of the season, and they are now third in the table with the same points as Manchester City. Chelsea hosted Aston Villa and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea were beaten 3-1 at home to Aston Villa with a goal first, and they began to fall first.

Arsenal are very beautiful now, although the competition for the top spot in the league in the first half of the season is quite fierce, and even for most of the first half of the season, several giants are difficult to solve, and the defending champion Arsenal is also in a passive situation for a while; However, the Gunners' strong winning streak and crucial victory at the top of the table have allowed Arsenal to proudly reclaim the top spot, and they are now slowly building up some advantage at the top of the table. A win ended 2011 with a win, which couldn't have been better news for Arsenal. The most important thing is that at this time, Arsenal also used their excellent performances to occupy some advantages in the standings. Now they have the initiative to win the championship in their own hands.

In the blink of an eye. Nearly halfway through the Premier League schedule, judging from the situation of the standings, the wealthy "Blue Moon" has formed a strong impact on the traditional top four, temporarily in second place, their performance is indeed a big surprise, no one would have thought that Manchester City would break out so strongly this season. Just as no one expected that Manchester City, which has greatly improved this season, and Manchester United, a regular in the Champions League final, were both eliminated in the group stage, there are too many surprises in the first half of this season's Premier League.

Although Arsenal now have some advantage in the table, they cannot be taken lightly. In the second half of the race, they will definitely face a lot of challenges; Because their opponents are not bad, because Arsenal themselves are not invulnerable.

Both Manchester giants claim to be fighting for the Europa League title, but they both know that this is just a joke, and it is impossible to be distracted in the league because of the Europa League. It can be said that without the ties of European competition, Manchester City must be strong in the league, and in the end it will only depend on who can score more points in the strong dialogue to decide the league title, and they can bring more difficulties and challenges to Arsenal at this time.

Manchester City were beaten by Chelsea on the road, although they lost at home to Arsenal at the top of the table; But their experience of thrashing Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur away from home is shocking enough, and their home record is one of the best in the Premier League. As long as there are no problems within the team, it is believed that Manchester City will not be difficult to win the Premier League.

The history of the Premier League is not without a championship precedent piled up with gold dollars. Back in the days when Iron Kings Walker and Abou took charge of Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea, they both conquered the Premier League title. With an investment of nearly £900 million over the past four years, the 'Blue Moon' have taken a big step forward almost every season since the summer when Abu Dhabi bought Manchester City, and in this season, they have enough quality to continue to fight for the title; They proved that it was not the gold dollar policy that did not work, but that the money thrown at it may not be enough. Their overall hard power is indeed higher than that of the other giants in the Premier League, and what is even more frightening is that if UEFA's financial fair play policy is not as powerful as it thinks, then there is no limit to Manchester City's room for improvement.

More than halfway through the 11-12 Premier League season, although the final suspense has not been revealed, the trend has basically been decided, whether it is to compete for the championship, or to rush to the fourth, or to relegation, it is very clear. As things stand, the Manchester duo will challenge defending champions Arsenal for the spot, with Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool among the favourites for European qualification in next season's Champions League.

Although Arsenal is now at the top of the league table, Arsenal cannot take anything lightly; Although the six-point lead is not small, it definitely can't withstand the squander, especially on the premise that Arsenal's own squad has some shortcomings, and because Arsenal still needs to take into account the Champions League in the second half of the game, at least Arsenal, which is fighting on two fronts, has to pay more physical energy at this time; Coupled with the lack of depth in their own squad, Arsenal really doesn't have any advantage in the second half of the sprint.

At the beginning of the season, due to the departure of Cesc Fabregas and Nasri, although Arteta filled the vacancy of Xiaofa and others to a large extent, his strength is still a little behind Xiaofa and others; Ramsey, Wilshere and others are too young, and there are injuries, which has caused Wenger to suffer from the embarrassment of being unavailable; The performance of the back line is even more miserable, and Arsenal can barely say that the position of central defender is quite reasonable, but after Sagna's injury, Arsenal's wide defense is really full of holes.

For Arsene Wenger, it is really difficult to make a difference in the league and the Champions League with the current squad, and the first thing they have to ensure now is that the main players cannot be injured again; Of course, I also hope that players such as Arshavin and Rosicky can return to bravery; Although Walcoat has grown rapidly, Arsenal on both fronts really need to ensure that their squad depth is trustworthy, and although they have a good record now, Arsenal will also need to put in more effort in the more competitive second half of the game.

It's a joy to win the half-way game, but it's not enough, Arsenal need to do even better and play better in the second half of the season to try to defend their league and Champions League titles. And although Arsenal currently has serious personnel problems in the midfield and defense, as long as Xiao Qing can ensure strong firepower, then Arsenal's goal of successfully defending the title is not an extravagant hope.

Manchester City's "Golden Dollar Football" has risen strongly in the UK; Manchester United, under the leadership of the old and strong Lord Ferguson, has accumulated enough energy for the second half of the campaign; Villas-Boas, known as the "Madman II", is bound to lead Chelsea's strong rebound in the second half of the game.

Tottenham Hotspur's current record is also very good, although the core Mordridge has been caught in transfer rumors, but the squad is very reasonable and talented, and the north London team led by Lao Lei is also very competitive. Liverpool have made a qualitative leap forward under Dalglish, and their competitiveness should not be underestimated, as evidenced by the fact that they have the most solid defence in the Premier League.

The current Premier League is highly competitive, and no team can guarantee success in the first half of the game, especially in the current fierce competition, they should be more cautious in order to ensure that they can play in the second half of the game.

Xiao Qing is basically satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and Xiao Qing also feels that there are not too many problems with his performance in the first half; Arsenal's lineup may have some problems, but the Gunners' strength is also obvious, as long as they continue to maintain their own characteristics, plus some small reinforcements, then Xiao Qing believes that the team will definitely be able to achieve a better record, Arsenal is still very competitive, and they should be the biggest favorites to win the championship.

Although Arsenal has encountered a lot of difficulties and challenges in this season, although the current Xiao Qing has indeed encountered some troubles; However, Xiao Qing believes that none of this will stop Arsenal from moving forward, Arsenal will burst out at this time with more powerful combat power, and the Gunners will use more excellent performances in the second half of the game to strive for victory. Now Arsenal has established some small advantages in the standings, but Xiao Qing also knows that such results are far from enough, Arsenal should perform better, they want to use more crazy performance in the second half of the game to strive for a far lead in the league, but also to ensure a strong breakthrough in the Champions League under the encirclement and suppression of many strong opponents.

After the win over Queen's Rangers, it also marked the end of the first half of the competition, and for Arsenal, 2011 ended largely on a successful note, and there is no reason why they should not be proud of their current results. It's just that the test of 2012 is not small, first of all, Arsenal needs to face the winter transfer, in addition to considering the departure of some players, Arsenal needs to face some squad reinforcements. It's not just Arsenal that are working hard at this time, those teams that have a chance to compete for the title are bound to give it a go at this time, and this is also a huge test for Arsenal, because their own squad depth is not so tested, and they don't necessarily have too deep financial support.
