I genuinely though we were awful last season, as someone mentioned even after going above Spurs we kept dropping points and somehow none of the other teams managed to take advantage.
From about December 2010 to November 2011 (exluding summer months off) would be enough to tell you if it's a sign RVP may have got over what problems he had encountered in the past - enough to show whether Wenger absolutely needs to buy someone as a back-up in January to him. In any case someone probably would've stepped up anyway, they always do. Hence how we were able to attain the same level when RVP had been injured. Or when Cesc had been injured. Or whoever it might be at any particular time.

In reference to you mentioning Global's post, we dropped points after going above Tottenham yes but it wasn't five defeats in eight, it was five games where we dropped points out of eight. Plus we actually won three out of four after initially going above them.
