Gooner gusto falls flat after shameful collapse at Wigan

IF there’s one thing that never fails to amaze me, it’s football fans’ eternal propensity to rebound from the very depths of heart-rending disillusionment.

Gooner gusto falls flat after shameful collapse at Wigan

In light of the array of injuries that exposed the limitations of Arsène’s squad, and the pre-season predictions that we’d be the team most likely to end up in Liverpool’s predicament, until we were banjaxed by Barca, I felt that, by and large, the Gunners hadn’t done so bad. But it’s all gone pear-shaped since our capitulation in Catalunya, culminating in our disgraceful demise at the DW on Sunday.

Hard as they tried, my Spurs mates couldn’t get much of a rise out of me after our derby debacle. Their incessant leg-pulling wasn’t nearly so excruciating, when a Premiership trophy this season has always seemed little more than a pipe-dream.
