So style is permanent and fashion or trend just temporary.

Further so, which pick of the possible takes should we make?

That Spurs fans will be thinking that style is permanent for them as they came up to haul a point off Arsenal – football’s temporary wannabe gloryboys?

Or the idea that Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal, roaring after perfection and continuing the impossible dream of using youth and skill to overcome old age and treachery will yield all the silverware and gold that the footballing world can offer?

Frankly, the idea of a few fashion accessories, preferably in the shape of additional bling for the emptying trophy cabinet, that has now gathered more dust than Spurs’ trophy room over the past few seasons, would be welcome.

And perhaps having a few more accessories in terms of experienced players would help bring the wardrobe together, like any good Parisian girl would know, would achieve this.

Whichever way we are persuaded, the whole dressing-room should feel truly grounded and humbled after throwing away a well-earned two goal lead against a team that didn’t need to come and mug us in the end. We went to hand over the collective wallet instead.

Ever since the team’s motivating piece of paper was discovered in a hotel room, other teams seem to have benefited from reading it– Hull, Sunderland and now Spurs. And Adebayor was right, to win the Premiership – which is for us to throw away this season as we did last season – means very few more points can be tossed away.

But Arsène Wenger must ask himself one question. What is your first team?

Depending on the mix of players – we have the team that promises to reward its supporters with more absent bling – the 1991 FA Cup, something in 1999; the 2003 Premiership to join the FA Cup of that season; the 2004 UEFA Champions League and FA Cup, even the League Cup of that season; the 2006 UEFA Champions League; the 2007 Carling Cup; the 2008 Premiership and UEFA Champions League.

And all of these trophies were within our grasp but some quirks of fate – many of these quirks in fact were the officials’ own hands of fate – meant the club never quite asked for the silverware to carry it home - yes almost ten additional trophies in all, didn’t quite make it to the trophy cabinet to add to the seven Arsène and his various teams have strived to achieve as new money has since overtaken old money.

Yet depending on the team selection again, style seems permanent and the ethereal, breath extracting, magic we experienced through 2002-2004 is truly back in a way that it hasn’t been in over three seasons.

And it’s the expectation that we should be doing better, winning more, that keeps everyone moaning.

So – the players who really make the magic work are: Vela, Walcott, Nasri – wasted on the left wing when he should be inside Walcott, and with these players, Bendtner and Denilson really work so well and enjoy their football together. Adebayor too. Clichy should be allowed to attack, that’s what he’s best at – the occasional defensive error happens but our best form of defence is in fact our attack.

So many times when they have played together they appear like the world’s most beautiful supermodels having fun on the catwalk together, or at least like zebras’ playtime on the Serengeti.

And bringing Traore back to the left midfield would keep that spirit going.

In the same way as he lost the 2001 FA Cup final to Liverpool, Wenger needs to ask if removing Nasri and Van Persie for Diaby and Song to play a defensive midfield for the last five or so minutes upset the balance of a winning team.

Otherwise, Wenger’s refusal not to play Nasri and Vela together seems a crime yet in Istanbul, collateral damage was wrought on Fenerbahce with overtones of Henry’s 2003 hat-trick at San Siro pealing through the air while Vela remained on the bench

Nasri is all too often kicked out of the match making him isolate himself on the wing. When having Walcott to his right would unleash further danger. No defence could handle a combination of both of them while officials would be forced to watch out for the treatment of their combined genius. The match against Everton saw three if not four successive bad tackles on Arsenal’s number eight.

Diaby too has generally exploded this season with his few opportunities, at last showing some certainty and confidence that he knows what to do after receiving the ball.
