Arsenal's Sinking Ship Finally Begins its Descent Into the Abyss
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay"
Across the continent, 2,800 miles from Azerbaijan, the crushing reality that has finally set in following Arsenal's Europa League loss is that all of the Gunners' woes and deficiencies are still plain to see - regardless of whether they had been played on the hallowed turf of Highbury or the heat-stroked pitches of Baku.
If only it were still Highbury, a stadium that still fills Gunners' supporters with fond memories of title wins, those glorious Champions League nights, and players who knew what it meant to wear the badge with pride.
Forget it.
