It has got to the stage where I am beginning to regret abusing Spurs fans (obviously just for their bottom of the league game). Call it what you will, a slump in form, a team who hate each other, a horrific spell for the Gunners. Who really cares what it is called they are just words. I'm afraid there are going to be more words.

GallasGate is obviously a massive excuse for what can only be described as a horrific loss to an under-par (never really understood that because under par is a good thing in golf!) City team. I listened to the game on ATVO so didn't have a chance to see the full 90 mins which I consider to be a good thing. I have just watched the online highlights and have come to the conclusion that there were none. It could have just been the final whistle.

I have been trying to look at things in a positive light and we may have had 9 players out for yesterdays game but 2 of those players we havent had all year, Eboue is rubbish and Toure has been on zero form, you can't use a suspension as an excuse either so that rules Cesc out, so effectively we were missing Ade and Theo from the line-up.

Ade has just been a big greedy goal hanger this season with his work ethic having gone out of the window and RvP's following but on how DREADFUL Bendtner has been this season I would have picked Luke Freeman, Eduardo 2 weeks after the legbreak crutches and cast, Jay Simpson, Carlos Vela, Wilshere out of position and maybe even Fabianski ahead of the dopey Dane. I could give a list like that one regarding players I would pick ahead of Denilson but I just don't have the energy. Even if we did so do Chavski and they aren't losing against poor teams, they might have a Russian billionaire but his chance to expand the team was there and he didn’t take it. There are so many areas that are bare-bones, if Clichy gets injured what happens? in an Arsene magic moment will he decide that Diaby can play at leftback as well? We have no obvious cover for Walcott and look naked without his pace and width that he offers.

I have been bitterly disappointed regarding Arsene Wenger's approach to this awful month. I would expect the Frenchman to respect Arsenal fans enough to keep them in the picture and not stick his head in the sand. I waited to hear his press conference only to hear him duck out of any questions and just the standard, "aaa we showed great spirit" that comes up every week, word in your ear Mr Wenger...we DIDN'T.

Although I think a slip in form is due for every team once in a while I wish it had been last season or next season, just not now! I think it will be good for the younger players in terms of building their experience, ONLY if it is handled well by the manager. There is a need to prove that there is enough competition for places, a complacent bad team would be a nightmare.

I am looking forward to Eduardo getting back. Judging by the picture of him used to advertise the personalised prints on the Arsenal website it looks like he has just smashed Paul Merson and David Platt in a pie eating contest!
