Caught cold. Devastated. Gunners coach Arsene Wenger looked like a child who, contrary to all his expectations, did not get awarded the best prize for his papier mache figurines that took him weeks to sculpt.
This is a severe wake up call, a welcome one. Money will finally be spent in the summer, Stan Kroenke will take over the club and one or two of the petulant kids will get flogged. Notably Adebayor, who has become the biggest joke of North London.
Apart from all the silver lining though, what a fucking disaster. Man U deserve to win it twice in a row, they have the best football squad in the world by a mile.
