The 5 stages of GRIEF of a GOONER
1) DENIAL
happens when you agree with Arsene Wenger that the team ain't that bad. Oh, there were positives here and there, so-and-so did well. Defending was poor, but we did well going forward (but didn't score). We're xx games unbeaten and that's fucking fantastic even if you draw nil-nil 5 games in a row.

2) ANGER
this is the part where we find places to put the blame on. Some gooners (the stupid ones) call for Arsene Wenger to be fired. Others blame Denilson. Then there's Almunia. Clichy came along. Oh, Walcott. Bendtner. Diaby. Eboue. RVP injured. Screw the Dutch FA. No new signings when we clearly need a centre forward.

3) BARGAINING
after United, win the Chelsea game and we're back in it. Beat this team and we'll go all the way. Oh, the team has been 2-0 down before. They'll turn the game around and put in a performance worthy to be in the history books. 3-0? No problemo. Pull one back and something might happen. Everything's going to be a-okay until the final whistle. 5 minutes added on - time enough to score 2 goals. It takes seconds to score one anyway (applies to all teams but Arsenal). Banging on superstitions - I'll wear my lucky Arshavin jersey for 1 week

4) DEPRESSION
bargaining doesn't help. The final whistle goes. Yet another loss. Tear yourself up inside. Stare at league table. bemoan the last 8 points lost. Throw a tantrum. Have a screw-everything attitude. Go on an eating binge. Finish a tub of butter. Listen to Arsene Wenger defend his team again. Scream at TV. Gesticulate at Drogba.

5) ACCEPTANCE
Transfer window is closed. title race is over. 9 points behind Chelsea. Team has zero desire. Denilson wasn't at fault for Chelsea defeat. Cesc might leave in the summer. Only the champion's league to play for now. Harry Redknapp is right about Arsenal. 3rd place is jeopardy. My life is over.
