Could Adebayor's personal feud cost Arsenal the Premier League?
Having lost Eduardo, the Gunners will be in trouble unless their top striker sorts out his differences with Nicklas Bendtner.

I am a huge Arsenal fan but I am sure I am going to get roasted for expressing a point of view about goings-on at Birmingham.
The injury to Eduardo could have more far reaching consequence than we think. Why do i say so? We all know we should have won last Saturday's game at St Andrews – Emmanuel Adebayor had a legitimate penalty claim not given, Birmingham were awarded a penalty that should never have been given and which allowed them to snatch a draw.
But Arsenal should have wrapped it up long before that injury-time choker. In the 77th minute Adebayor was clean through and only had to roll the ball to Nicklas Bendtner, who was completely unmarked in front of goal.
What did he do? Go for the selfish and more difficult option of trying to score himself – only for the ball to be tipped around the post.
Now, if you watched the Champion League first-leg game against AC Milan, when the two big boys were playing together, there was no love lost between them and again Adebayor pretended as if Bendtner does not exist.
This is a massive problem for Arsenal, especially since we are now short on staff, specifically in the striking department.
Maybe Arsene Wenger should have a word with Adebayor and explain to him, 'Dude, you are not Arsenal, you are part of Arsenal and either you fix your attitude or you play on the bench.’ Simple. The points dropped on Saturday could cost us the title – think about it, my fellow Gooners.

You never had this problem with Wright and Smith up front, fact is your squad is now full of whinging, whining, foreign primadonnas that spit their dummy out every time things dont go their way!

wasn't Tottenscum supposed to be in the top 4 this year? so when is that going to happen? maybe after your full starting 11, Robinson and all, lose 4-1 to Birmingham.:)

Yet another still-born story about the Gunners. Last minute, Adebayor heaads to Bendtner, who scores the tying goal. and brings on St. Totteringham's Day.

Wenger should put himself in a position to tell the star, Adebayor tha he is not Arsenal but part of Arsenal like what Riiyaz Hill said. This can seriously damage the title hopes. But i'm sure he won't disappoint his manager,colleagues and mostly the fans. We have our support behind our team

Whos set of supporters will be more upset with this weekends results, spurs or arsenal?, bearing in mind spurs beating birmingham is meaningless and Arsenal are now a step closer to missing out on another trophy to United, oh dear not another season without a trophy!!!!!

hmm considering we are still on top and contenders for two competitions that count when this year we weren't supposed to be in the top four I'm actually quite pleased. I don't think Arsenal supporters will be too upset considering the game Villa played and considering that Van Persie is around the corner, and if we can maintain the lead until at least Toure is back the signs will be good. Notice how unlike a typical Spurs fan I don't jump the gun and claim to win the title to later end up with egg on my face when my team is out of the the top 10. By the way you never answered my question, when will spurs make their way into the top four?
