Today was, for the lack of a better, more elegant, phrase, fucking nuts. There are several moments in the video featured below the jump that mimic many of my initial reactions to some of the ridiculousness that took place in today's astonishing 5-3 loss to Arsenal.
An emotional man
To better help you understand where I'm coming from, I've created a mini-timeline below the series of moving pictures to give you some insight into what I'm talking about. The time given points to a moment in the video that best mimics my reaction to a particular moment from the match. Enjoy.
I also reckon the same exact soundtrack served as the backdrop to me losing my mind time and again this morning. Kind of uncanny.
As for the game, we can only hope such craziness never surfaces again. Pretty please.
