I’ve watched Arsenal since 1993 and seen a lot of downs:
Nayeem half way line goal
Giggs goal in fa cup 99
Losing to Leeds on last day to gift Utd the title in 99
Losing to Gala in uefa cup final 2000 on penalties
Losing my favourite players in Overmars and Petit to Barca in 2000
The Michael Owen final of 2001
Losing to Leeds in 2003 to gift Utd the title
Wayne Bridge goal v us in 2004 CL
Losing at Utd in game 50 of our undefeated run in 2004
Losing CL final in 2006
The banter era of 2006-2014
The shit Wenger latter years (despite fa cups) of 2016-2018
Losing top 4 in 2019 and losing Europa League final of 2019 under Emery
Not winning the title in 2023 and 2024 under Arteta
But this season tops it all. In the season when our arch nemesis finally crumbled we have simply fucked up. Ever since rice got that red card I knew and smelt something was in the air. Having said that the major red flag was the summer when we messed it up and signed Sterling on the last day.
But the way we have been given the title on a plate but fucking blew it is rock bottom for me. Especially when it’s our own doing.
Will we ever recover from this season? Only if we have our best summer of all time transfer wise. Don’t have confidence of any of these cunts upstairs delivering? Nope, neither do I.
Feels like we’ve wasted a once in a generation opportunity guys.
P.S: If you are Saliba you have to seriously consider your options right now. Why stay at a club that has zero ambitions?
