I don't think I've ever been as genuinely sad about Arsenal as I was after today. Not because the trophy means that much or because we'll be missing out on the CL - we aren't good enough for CL anyway.
It just feels like a culmination of the decline years in the making. The final nail in the coffin. The point at which no one can fool themselves anymore - the club is in ruins. It's unrecognizable.
I'm curious about something: do you think this is our low point from which we'll start to build ourselves back, Liverpool style? Or will we settle in mediocrity or even fall back further? I genuinely don't know and the uncertainty is gut wrenching.
We all knew there would be tough years ahead after Wenger has left, but everyone knew the pains we'd go through were a price we'd have to pay to reinvent ourselves if we wanted to reach for the highest honors again. There is however no guarantee that we're bouncing back and we might just be settling in mediocrity - or regressing even further.
What do you think?
