Worst day I can remember.
And I've been through some hellish matches, nailbiting moments, come close... oh so close.
But now...
Despair. WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED?!?
The 'youthful team' that showed so much promise five years ago. Think of the future... great things to come... Always close, sometimes unlucky, but the promise was there.
We play beautiful football. We have players with potential. Wenger makes shrewd purchases.
But where are they now? All those players have gone. There is little loyalty in the PL. When a player's peak is a three year window, they want results now not achieve a single trophy - NO-ONE will remember them for helping a team in the future to become potentially great! The fans deserve results NOW.
My faith in Wenger is almost shattered. If we don't get decent transfers by the end of the month we are going to sink to mid table mediocrity for the next decade.
Keeping the faith... (just)
So now...

I've had many, many worse days than this in my life, but footballwise I cant think of any now.

Actually this might sound odd, but because I was expecting a 3 or 4 nil battering it's not as bad a losing the CL final or the CC final.

My prediction before the game was a 3-0 defeat, the first time I've ever accepted a defeat was inevitable.
With that team I couldn't see a way to get even a draw - but I didn't allow for:
(a) Our defence seemed to have never played together.
(b) Wenger taking off the DM - unbelievably stupid.
(c) Utd's exquisite finishing.
