We have just lost 5-1 against a relegated 10 man team when we needed a point to finish 2nd.
I don't care if we just lose, but that is not acceptable. It wasn't just a lack of ability today, our players just didn't try. And that's not some cliche that's just thrown around after we lose, it is the truth. This is different, this wasn't anything like the loss to Southampton.
If you look through my old posts I don't think I've ever lost my shit after losing, at least not since the Sherwood era, because I get that we can't win every game.

Obviously you want the players to be passionate about the club they're playing for (or the one you support) but at the end of the day it is just a job to most players. I have no issue with that though, it's the constant promotion on social media because fans are so desperate to see that players care about them. I'd rather have 11 BAE's that put in good performances.

I just watched Aarons prod the ball past Alderweireld while he just jogged back.

You are right. They give lip service to the fans but they had four games to wrap second place up and they behaved in an unprofessional manner that allowed the Goons to snatch it.
Poch is to blame for his comments about not being important to finish above them. He virtually sent the team away on holiday with those remarks.
It might not have been.imporrant to him but it was everything to us. They have made us laughing stocks today by being hammered by a ten man relegated team.
It has tarnished the season. It hands Arsenal a psychological boost going into next year that knowing even in our best year in a generation and with them not playing well they can still finish higher than us.
Disgraceful and unprofessional end to a season.

I hate that team so much. All of them are failures after today's performance. Frauds who only turned up when it looked like they could boost their own trophy list, gave up when that was gone. Feel like I've gone back in time to the 13/14 season when they were open about not giving a care in the world, this is worse because they lied through gritted teeth.

Pretty much sums up my feelings. They all take a portion of the blame. It's a team game after all. And by god they should be ashamed of how they ended the season, and how they've let us all down.

Of course footballer's don't generally care, and of course it shouldn't be a surprise, but its a valid point in so far as our entire message this season has been that we are #together.
I doubt you'd have seen Noble do that to a WHU fan, or Terry to a Chelsea fan, but then you probably wouldn't have seen Kane do it to a Spurs fan. Dier very much strikes me as the type of lad who will head off in a year or two if his form allows it.

Which has fuck all to do with a day in Florence.
Nice try. There's a reason you didn't bring it up then and instead bring it up then and the reason is a total lack of class and tact and a desire to attack the team.

Points wise, it's not our best though. Clutching at straws maybe but thats the truth.
To be honest, it's not Arsenal I'm worried about. ALl they have done this season is just show they are slightly less a bottle job than us. In fact, it can be argued they are on an equal par. They didn't even get involved in a title race. All with a much bigger budget and a lot more money spent. What I'm worried about is us having this nonsense happen again next season with the goons, only for us to be finishing 6th with them taking 5th on the final day!
I really hope Poch and co don't think for a second that this current side will "challenge" ( in hindsight it really wasn't much fo a challenge ) for the title next term. We need at least two, probably three genuine quality players who improve our first XI.

But poch's point was: finishing above arsenal isn't their focus, their focus and the importance is on trying to win every game, i.e. focus on themselves not others... so you're post is a bit wrong isn't it

When did I ever show a total lack of class, all I said was that the truth is that most of them don't care about the fans. As boring and meandering as that story was it has every bit to do with my overall point.
Also how come they get to put in a totally incompetent lazy performance yet as soon as I make the most inoffensive restrained criticism of these millionaires I'm the one in the wrong?
He's not a mad lunatic. He exchanged about 2 sentences of support with them and they couldn't even look him in the eye. Sorry but if they can't even say thank you for shelling out hundreds of pounds to support the team then I'm not going to support them when they play like they did today.
