Right, Taxi For Maicon is back. What did we miss? Well, Spurs are still struggling to score goals, we're still picking up defensive injuries and we're still dropping points to struggling teams.
We didn't make it to the game on Saturday and, just like a watched kettle never boils, a watched scoreline never updates. I went through one of those awkward afternoons of forever clicking 'reload' on the BBC Sport mobile phone site whilst still trying to remain useful in my surroundings.
Come on, lads. What's going on? We've become known as one of the best attacking teams in the Premier League yet we seem to be stuck on the hard shoulder of Top 4 Freeway waiting for an AA van.
We're going to need more than fan belt or a monkey wrench to tighten the cogs and wind ourselves back up for a busy, and difficult, end of season.
That's our third 0-0 in a row and by the looks of it the old "you score three, we'll score four" attitude is stuttering to a halt. Instead it's opposing defenses saying, "well if you aren't going to score then we'll just take a point thanks."
Many will be reaching desperate measures by now and if Gareth Bale doesn't dig out his shining armour and ride to the rescue then we can probably expect the curmudgeon choir to strike up a "woe is me" chorus.
Although if our run of no-score draws stretches to four with a clean sheet against the nine-time European champs at the Bernabeu tomorrow night, you'll be hard-pushed to find anyone complaining.
