Jesus christ. Stop already.
"The third goal was the killer" bullshit we hear every time we get hammered. The players should never just collapse like they did, no excuses. They should always have the belief that they can get back into the game. That is what separates us from the better teams around us.
He's the one who has chosen to keep walking into fast moving traffic. It's on him to realise that the club is bigger than his personal ambitions and he lost sight of that fact a long time ago. He's facing the facts the fans have known for a long time now - at least I hope he's facing them. The absolute low point was the 6-0 drubbing on his thousandth game against a bitter rival. In isolation okay he could maybe brush that off, but it was the opposite, it was a crushing confirmation based on a stream of similar calamities that he was finished. He chose not to accept it and now he's ended up here, pulling the whole club down to joke status yet again. Can we really be sympathetic for somebody who has brought this on himself and on the club as a whole? Yes, there's the stadium, the trophies of the past, a whole stack of good times. But that's not how football works and because football is a cut-throat, results based business the rewards are huge. Obscene in fact. And he's enjoyed the rewards whist taking advantage of a unique position in which he's made himself answerable to only himself and has therefore evaded the consequences of repeated failure. He's had his cake and eaten it. This resulting pressure goes with the territory and if I'm honest I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for him. I have a very hard time feeling sympathetic for people who beg for predictable misfortune and then inevitably get it, especially when they drag thousands of other people into their mess.

I've lost count of the amont of thrashings we've got in the last 10 years, most big clubs suffer big defeats once in a blue moon, we seem to have to endure them quite a lot, just embarassing.
Before Wenger came along the only big defeat I can remember was a 6-2 defeat to Man U in the league cup.
