Loss isn’t easy to cope with. However, how one copes amid the despair can reveal a lot about you.
Arsenal were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Fleetwood Town on penalties last night, in one of the competition’s biggest modern upsets, and Arsenal fans have reacted with widespread embarrassment and criticism.
This ranks among Arsenal’s most humiliating cup exits in recent decades (echoing the 2012 Bradford City League Cup loss on penalties). Fleetwood described it as the biggest night in the club’s history.
I found this clip of a Gooner who embarrasses cranks.
Rival fans have been openly mocking the result. Overall, it’s a sore point that has generated plenty of heat online, even as some supporters try to move on quickly.
This one will wish he had.
Fleetwood in red at Highbury ..rarely does it get any better.
I think the delusion is strong with this one.
