Arsene Wenger shouldered the blame after admitting that Arsenal's title chances had all but vanished following defeat to Bolton. Wenger said his team's hopes of avoiding a sixth successive season without a trophy were "minimal" after a 2-1 defeat at the Reebok Stadium on Sunday. The result left Arsenal nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United with four games remaining. Although Wenger's side, who entertain United at the Emirates Stadium next Sunday, can mathematically finish top, it will require an exceptional set of circumstances for them to overhaul Sir Alex Ferguson's side. Wenger did not mince his words after Tamir Cohen's last minute goal earned Bolton a dramatic victory to all but end Arsenal's season. The Frenchman said his third placed team lacked maturity and experience, but admitted he was to blame for another unsatisfactory season. "Our chances are minimal now but we have to continue to fight," Wenger said. "It is all very frustrating to get just two points from the last nine available, but that has been the story of our season. "I feel the players have had an outstanding attitude for the whole season but they are not to blame. "If anybody is to blame it is me. I pick the team, I choose the players and for me they have had an outstanding attitude all season," he added.
