The time for excuses has gone after Arsenal falter against rock-bottom Wolves 

Here's Gooner Fanzine print columnist Charlie Ashmore with his hard-hitting reaction to Arsenal's awful draw at relegation-doomed Wolves 

There’s really not a lot to say at this point

This is not a time for analysis.

Two things I have been repeating are staring me in the face this morning. 

The first is that the only team that can stop us winning the League is ourselves.  

The second is that the time for excuses has gone. 

You all know what you saw last night and it was terrifyingly pathetic.   

The worst thing is that it felt as if it had been coming and there was something horribly predictable about the equaliser. 

Dropping points is a fact of professional footballing life. 

Dropping them in such an insipid, incompetent way is not what title winners do. This is on the players. They all need to be taking a long hard look in the mirror this morning and asking themselves some serious questions about whether they have the stomach for the challenge ahead. 

Because, make no mistake, this is make or break time. 

We should be nine points clear this morning. Instead we have let two leads slip and the gap is only five (or two when Cuty win their game in hand, as they surely will). 

If we do not win the League this year it is hard to see this group of players ever doing it. 

Are they brave enough to overcome their anxieties and fears or are they going to cower in the corner while it all slips away.  It is still (just) in our hands. 

The problem is that for the first time it is now also in City’s own hands. 

Maybe that we are surely no longer favourites will do us a favour. Who knows?

One thing I do know is that any more performances like that and it’s over – City may not be the City of old but they won’t let us off the hook. 

It’s Tottenham next. 

They have had 10 days without a game.  They have a new manager. 

They will be backed by a crowd desperate to put what might be the final nail in the coffin of this season’s efforts to win the title.

City will have closed the gap to two points before we play.  

It is not a time for the faint hearts of last night.   

It is time to seize the day with bravery, with power, with purpose, all of which have been largely lacking in the last few weeks. 

It is time to stand up and be counted – to plant your flag in the ground at the summit and say “This is ours now and we are not going to give it up”. 

Over to you, boys.
