The most absolutely painful thing about my being an Arsenal fan is that up till the last minute I really will believe that we can win the whole thing. It means I end up sitting through the most excruciating matches, waiting. One goal down, four to go. Come on.
ETA: I am clearly not the only one looking for a 5-0 win. Two to go and I may or may not actually be crying, we can do this.
ETA II: Guys, those last ten minutes may have been the worst ten minutes of my life. And I can't say take heart from the loss, because how do you take heart from putting everything into a game and losing the tie nonetheless, but the Emirates went and applauded you after the final whistle blew because that's what you do when your team tries, and I'm right there with them. I love you all.
