Arsenal: What the actual f*** is wrong with you people?
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal were battered against Leicester City in the most important match of the season and all I want to know is what the hell is wrong?
I’m running out of adjectives to describe what Leicester City did to Arsenal. Or rather, what Leicester City helped Arsenal do to themselves. Which is bad, because it’s a long road to Valencia and in order to not sound redundant, I’m going to have to figure out new ways to describe the s***show.
My biggest question, following the April 28th massacre, is what the f*** is wrong with these people? Honestly. What the actual f*** is wrong?
I talked yesterday about how the red card did nothing to change the match and I stand by that. Arsenal could have had twelve men out there and they’d still have been made to look like febrile fawns on their first day out of mommy deer’s womb.
The first goal was bad enough. Granit Xhaka lets his man go, unchecked, and no one picks him up in the box. He literally just runs, free as a f***ing frolicking antelope, and heads home. Stop the game at 1-0, it’s still embarrassing.

Then the second goal happens and my usage of the word “f***” was going up exponentially. You allow the opposing f***ing keeper to send a ball over the entire f***ing team and make both Laurent Koscielny and Sokratis, who are supposed to be our defensive foundation, look like their wearing high heels on ice. I’ve never seen an easier goal scored in my life. And maybe the worst part is that Bernd Leno put Vardy off enough for him to miss the first attempt, but then, because no one had come back, he heads home, free of charge.
Okay, stop the game at 2-0, it’s still making me question if I should wear any Arsenal shirts in public for the next week.
But it’s not over! No. Because it never is with these guys.
After the goalie gets a f***ing assist, Leicester come back and, with Matteo Guendouzi b****ing about an offside that wasn’t offside, Koscielny and Sokratis are again left high and dry, apparently not wanting to play anymore, and give up a third goal that, on second look, was an even easier goal to score than the second goal.
How… How do you let this happen when the top four is on the line. You want to tell me about physical exhaustion? This had nothing to do with anything physical. It was all mental. It was f***ing mental. The whole damn thing was. And it was f***ing pathetic.
