Even for an Arsenal fan supposedly immune to wildly oscillating emotions (see: the second-half meltdown at St. James' Park), the Mood Swing-O-Meter has been off the charts this past week. From storming back to beat "the best team in history" to tying a squad more than 50 places below them in the English league hierarchy. From outplaying Xavi, Iniesta and Messi to struggling against Whing, Chorley and McGleish. From visions (and delusions) of Quadruples to the cold reality check of an FA Cup replay against Leyton Orient. I hate to be a killjoy, but on behalf of insufferable Arsenal supporters everywhere, can we now please have a moratorium on all of the talk of Arsenal winning four trophies until the Gunners have lifted at least one, even if it's just a Cup named after a weak lager?

Can Arsenal win a title?

we could be out of everything by St. Patties Day.....
Will it be Déjà vu all over again?
Can David Hirshey surpass Jamie Trecker and Marinah Hyde as my least favorite footie columnist? Endless stupid similies and snark is really not the same as analysis.
No. Jamie Trecker will always be your least favorite.
Perhaps if they were reassembled into a Frankenasshole commentator:
"Americans understand so little. For instance they call crisps chips! AND THEY WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS BRAZIL, THE USSF SHOULD BE SMASHED! Like a bale of hay dressed as Lady Gaga in a towering inferno costume!"
